hey guys,
i just started a new job, they use codecharge studio. i am not very familliar with the program, and they have requested that i clean up the way there ccs project looks. I have created a test html page using an external style sheet. i create a new theme, link the css file to it, and all of my css styles load into the pull down menu, so everything seems cool. but once i apply the them to the project it really dosent work well. i was wondering if this was a codecharge problem, or if i am doing something wrong.
thank you much,
brian

Best guess is that the naming of classes is conflicting. The original
project woudl have had <themename>DataTD, for example (the themename is
something like 'KnockOut', etc.)
You probably didn't get the class names the same so it doesn't look like you
expected.
Personally, I avoid the Themes altogether. I find it's easier to manage
the appearance using my own CSS. I usually have a class for 'search',
'list', 'edit' and apply these to the tables in the respective CCS Controls.
Beyond that, I implement 'contextual' CSS (i.e TABLE.list.TH) to fine tune
the rest of the page elements.
Some things, like all my INPUT tags, are declared at the outermost level of
the CSS (INPUT, SELECT, TEXTAREA {font-size:8pt; etc; etc})
I think the Themes look nice, but (as you seem to have discovered), rolling
my own was always problematic. I also reduce the amount of 'stuff' in my
HTML templates my way - sometimes quite dramatically. For example, normally
you have something like 'class="KnockoutDataTD"' in every stinkin' TD of
every stinkin' TABLE. I don't and it's much easier to read when editing,
but most importantly, my HTML pages end up being a LOT smaller in actual
use..

hey thanks for the reply,
yes i pretty much ended up just using my style sheet externally and went in and changed a lot of the html, and table setups to look the way i wanted them too. It is taking me a little while to get familliar with codecharge, i like its convenience but i am having trouble being seperated from my asp code.
