Paragraph Style Sheet Problem

Hello. When I load style sheets from another document in Illustrator CS5.5, I've been having a problem with the color aspect of the style sheet. The formatting is okay, but the type is black, regardless of what color is specified in the style sheet. Am I missing something? I don't remember having this happen before. Thanks for your help!

Check to see if there is a Character Style sheet applied by default. If there is, that will over-ride the color in your Paragraph style.

CS4 paragraph styles indentation problem

CS4 paragraph styles indentation problem: indentation specifics abruptly APPEAR differently but read the same (in the paragraph style pallet) from page 5 to 6 and beyond. (There is no character style applied to any of the text, and no change to the page margins. The same Master page is applied to all.) On page 5 when I pull the text box down, the type is indented correctly, but when I flow it to page 6, it changes to a different indentation and looks wrong for the style.

Here it is with the text block on page 5 pulled down to reveal correct indentation formatting, but still off on page 6.

Css style sheet problems

Using DW CS3
problem 1
can I re-write below so that
1    link, hover, visited etc can be written without all the repetition if possible
2    link, hover, visited etc can be written "once" to apply to everything, body table etc   if possible
3
What might cause this please?
Sometimes I cannot override the style sheet
I highlight the text
i select the class
DW writes the code but in the browser it still obeys the style sheet???
4 "whitelink" won't work in the body and only in some tables???
many thanks,
BODY {
    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    FONT-SIZE: 12px;
TD {
    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    FONT-SIZE: 12px;
    text-decoration: none;
A { COLOR: #000099;
     FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      FONT-SIZE: 12px;
     text-decoration: none}
A:HOVER {
    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    FONT-SIZE: 12px;
   text-decoration: underline;
    color: #FF0000;     }

    color: RED;
H1    {FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 17px; COLOR: #000066; }
.whitelink A {
      COLOR: white;
      text-decoration: none;
      /*FONT-SIZE: 12px; */
      .whitelink A:HOVER {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: yellow;
.whitelink a:visited {
    color: yellow;
    text-decoration: none;
    .whitelink A:VISITED:HOVER {
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;

Forgot to answer to your last two questions:
Sometimes I cannot override the style sheet
I highlight the text
i select the class
DW writes the code but in the browser it still obeys the style sheet???
4 "whitelink" won't work in the body and only in some tables???
I suspect you are adding classes to the wrong element on the page. Let me explain:
if you intend to select a link, then you click on the linked text in Design Window and then select the <a> tag for that link, on the Tag Selector Bar at the bottom of the Design Window. However, if you then select "whitelink" you will need to CHANGE MY CSS, because now yoru are adding the class to the A tag, not to one of its parents as we have the CSS selector written now. You would have to change this:
a.whitelink:link {
      color: white
a.whitelink:visited {
    color: yellow
a.whitelink:visited:hover {
    color: white
a.whitelink:hover {
    color: yellow
BUT- It would actually be better to leave the CSS the way I had it originally and instead to apply the "whitelink" class to a Parent tag, one, or more, that wrap around the portion of your page that needs this class for all the A tags within. So if there is a div or a table or some tds or some parents that enclose all the links you need white, then THOSE are the tags to select on the Tag Selector Bar to add the whitelink class to.
Hope that makes sense.

Style sheet problem, I think

http://www.jeffersoncircuitcourt6.org/preview/about-jefferson-circuit-court6.html
I have a style sheet up for the default type to be 1 ems on
1.4 ems line spacing. IE 6 and 7 seem to be paying attention to the
style, however, FF does not appear to be doing the same. I need to
know the error of my ways from those who know more than I. Can
anyone help?
Thanks,
Joe

It looks pretty much the same to me apart from the very top -
but - each
browser assigns default margins to h1 and paragraphs etc -
you could try..
Change your h1 rule to this.....
h1 {
margin-top:0;
font-size: 1.6em;
and introduce this rule......
.cen-content p {
margin-top:0;
Does that work - I only checked in FF?

Safari print style sheet problem

I've been working on a new site design and for the first time I'm trying to
use a different style sheet for printing a page (via the link media="print"
tag). So far I've had success with this technique except when printing with
Safari The printed page comes out as desired - the problem is that
after the print dialogue box disappears, the appearance of the original
"screen" web page gets messed up. Images get moved and a lot of the content
gets crunched into a column about 1/3 the size of the page.
It seems to be a Safari-only problem; I've tried printing in Mozilla, IE,
Mozilla, Opera and none of these browsers exhibit
this behavior. I've also tried using Safari on other Macs and get the same
result. Does anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

I found a Solution my CSS for print it was in bad layout i found out that i can't use the diplay:block; twice

Weird Style Sheet Problem

A few pages will not load the style sheet and end up looking really odd. I have tried opening these pages on both Safari and Firefox, and the same problem occurs. It happens when I go onto sites such as Ebay, Facebook, Youtube, and Myspace. Other websites read just fine.
Does anyone have any idea on why this would happen? And is there any solution?

I see what you mean, but then again, I've also had the same thing happen on a number of sites, including Yahoo!, CNN, Macworld, etc., with no logical reason other than a server problem. Other times they load perfectly fine, and I've never changed anything in Safari or any other browser.
I still think it's a server problem with the site; perhaps it's too busy, or it has a problem which affects the serving of files, including the style sheet. I'd keep an eye on it and make not of when it happens and try it at different times and days to see if it always happens. If it doesn't and you don't change anything that could affect it, that would point directly to a server problem.
If anyone else has some other advice or knowledge of this problem, please chime in.

LocalDirector & IE 6 Frameset/Style Sheet problems?

We are using the LD 417 to load balance across Sun webservers running Oracle Apache. We have just seen a problem where IE 6.x, accessed through the LDs, will not apply style sheets in Framesets, unless the page is refreshed, either by the user or programmatically. This does NOT happen to Netscape 7.x through the LDs or to IE 6.x when accessing the webservers directly.
Has anyone seen a problem similar to this and, if so, is there something in the LD to mitigate this problem?

I have also seen some issues with IE 6.0 with regard to the sticky cookies. It worked fine with IE 5.0
In your case have you tried IE5.0 and checking if it works. It usually is a browser issue.

CSS style sheet problem

My page is displayed perfectly in design view, reflecting the CSS rules I've created, but when I preview in Live View and in a browser, it's as if there is no style sheet attached at all... ??

Some things to check:
1) Did you define a Local Site folder in DW before starting your project?
If no, refer to part 1 of this tutorial:
Creating your first web site in DW CS4 -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_cs4_website_pt1.html
2) Did you link your HTML page(s) to an external stylesheet?

Style Sheet Problem with Websphere

Hello. If anyone here has any experience with Websphere or iSeries, I would appreciate some help. I posted this topic in the Websphere forum , but it seems that forum isn't very active. Anyway, I can't get my style sheet to work with a java servlet application that I installed on an iSeries server. I put together the app and style sheet through WebSphere and exported everything to the server as an .ear file, installed the application and the program works; however, the app isn't accessing the style sheet. I'm new to both iSeries and Websphere. I've been trying this line:
writer.println("<LINK rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='Master.css'>");
and have tried putting the style sheet in the same folder as the class file, tried putting it in the Java Source folder, tried it all over the place really and have tried making the path absolute. I've also tried pasting the .java file into the classes folder with the .class file. None of my efforts have been successful. Is this even possible? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

have tried putting the style sheet in the same folder as the class file, tried
putting it in the Java Source folder, tried it all over the place really...In your web application, it should go in the same directory where you would put an HTML file or a JSP file. All those places you tried are places that the web server keeps hidden from clients. You should be able to request the CSS file from your browser in exactly the same way you would request an HTML or JSP file.

CS4 creating hyperlinks in TOC from paragraph style sheet

Hi all
Does anyone know if it's possible for a script to find all instances of text in a named paragraph style and then link each instance to the corresponding entry in a modified TOC?
The workflow is for a 800-item catalogue created in CS4. At the moment, the title for each entry is set in a dedicated paragraph style; once all entries are signed off, I generate a TOC listing all the items. All very straightforward.
My client now wants an interactive PDF so that clicking on any item in the TOC will take him automatically to the relevant page in the catalogue. I want to avoid having to generate those hyperlinks manually… I know very little about scripting but I do know this is exactly the sort of thing that should be possible:
– find first instance of text in Para Style 1
– create hyperlink named with that text
– link this to corresponding text in Para Style 2
– repeat for all instances of text in Para Style 1.
But I also know that the hyperlink/cross-reference function can be a little counter-intuitive and I don't know whether I'm asking for the moon on a stick.
Thanks!

There's an excellent script* called LiveTOC which does exactly what you're asking for. It allows you to turn all your TOC entries into hyperlinks for PDF export.

Style Sheet Problem

Hey. Anybody who can help me with my stylesheet. On my page,
does it not shows my back and template. I Have a picture of the
code here. I cant edit the grey text and i think the problem is
were the arrow is. Take a look:
http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd8/chrisandersen14/?action=view&current=weaver.jpg

in.
Anybody who can help me. Thanks (:

You expect us to be able to read that?
<link href="file:///C|/Users/Christian
Andersen/Desktop/AUR/20832/site_flash/style.css"
The problem is the link to the CSS file is broken. Are you
working from a
DW site? Is the path to the CSS file shown in that link
correct?
And you know about this, right?
If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from CS4.

Uploaded style sheet problem

I put a holding page up for a web site I am developing that
took it's colour and font info from a CSS Template in dreamweaver
8. I have altered the template with different colours etc and when
I do a preview using IE on my desktop it looks fine. I uploaded the
page and again when I open it on my desktop via the web and still
using I.E. it opens and looks fine. But...............
When I open the page from another computer - the colours
change, the fonts change and the overal design moves. I have to
assume that the CSS template in not uploading to the sever properly
or is currupt in some way? Can anyone offer any pointers of what I
need to check?
the 3col_rightNav.html file is uploading to the server OK and
should be visable to the web page??
Please see
http://www.disableddirect.co.uk
for a view of how it should'nt look!!
Cheers

Sorry to bother people - I found the problem in the code.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="3col_rightNav.css"
type="text/css" />
It was linking to a temp page that had saved as the
stylesheet. I simply copied the correct CSS file to the root
directory and it solved the problem. I then altered the code to
change it from pointing to the temp files on my C Drive and problem
solved.

Problems with a style sheet in InDesign CS3

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone had any clue as to what the holy heck is happening to me.
I am attempting to standardize our documents and use style sheets--hey, what a concept, right? So I'm going through a recently completed document and grabbing text and using that to create paragraph style sheets and character based style sheets.
With one paragraph style sheet, the text is set to Janson Text Lt Stnd 55 Roman. However, when you apply the style sheet to a paragraph, the first word sets to a missing font. The rest of the paragraph is OK. It's only the first word. The paragraph style sheet does not have a "+" next to it. Highlighting the individual word and reapplying the paragraph style sheet does not change this.
I went to the character style palette, thinking that there was an override. Nope, the character style was set to "None." I clicked on "Override" to apply the paragraph style, and again, the first word is stubbornly refusing to change.
What gives? I am stumped!
Best,
Chryss

Styles based on Basic paragraph are a nightmare because every document starts with a basic paragraph style, and there's no guarantee that it will be the same from document to document. When you import styles based on Basic Paragraph from some other document, different attributes will be overridden depending on what is the same, and what is different.
The best way to deal with this is to either import the basic paragraph stle along with everything else, or put all the docs in one book file and pick one to use as the master, then synchronize the styles.
It sounds like your first word problem could be an applied character style, though, or less likely, a nested style.
