Problem with a browse field's custom CSS class not working

[Mike Grigsby]

Never had this problem on NTWS 4, but in 5, when I put a custom CSS class on a field in a browse, it doesn't take. I put it in the Custom CSS Class, as 'myHeader' and it shows on the HTML code for the <td>, but it seems like it is getting stomped on by the table.BrowseTable class. I've tried moving it around the .css file, but still no joy. Any ideas? Thanks!

What's in your css for this bit Mike?
ie what bit is being overiden?
font-size? color? etc...

I have a number of these, but this is one:

mrg-blog-text {
 font-family: Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans,Arial,sans-serif;
 font-size: 11px;
 font-weight: normal;
 color: #333;
 margin: 5px 0px 5px;
// border-color: #4F3B4F;
 border-top: 0px solid #888;
 border-left: 0px solid #888;
 border-bottom: 3px solid #4F3B4F;
 border-right: 0px solid #888;
 padding: 0.2em;
 border-spacing: 0px;
 width: 600px
}

It is in the netweb.css file, but I also tried it in the all.css for the heck of it.

Try putting it into your own CSS file and adding that to the webserver template.

Hi Mike,

I added that to a browse column in an example app, and inspecting with firebug it seems to be ok.

As kevin noted though , you shouldn't directly edit the all.css or netweb.css. It's better to put your styles in your own css, and then merge them into all.css using the technique described here;

If you're still struggling post an example app, with the web folder you are using.
