Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : RE: CSS or Style Sheets and Notes and the Web

Thanks to both of you for posting.

Here is the situation. I am setting up some informational types of articles for several different websites. The content will only be viewed on the web, except when we are doing input through Notes clients. So there is no need to worry about formatting for Notes viewing.

The web sites that will use our articles all have distinct formatting, i.e. fonts, colors, etc, and they would like us to match them as closely as possible.

From everything I am reading and seeing, it seems I really have two routes to go: use text fields, and give up the benefits of rtf's, or go rtf's and give up css for rtf's.

Let me ask you several specfici formatting questions which I had hoped to fix with css.

1. How do I get a size 8 font on the web without having to do a size 6 font in Notes? This is particularly aggravating and hard to read.

2. Where do I put the tags or info to cause css to take effect on fields? I have gotten links and tables formated ok with css, but I have trouble with plain text. For example, right now if I want a text field to be an H3, or header 3, and have all of the css formatting apply to it, I have been using a hidden field to put the field on the form and typing this code into the web form and making it passthruhtml:

<H3><ComputedText></H3>

And the computed text is the field I wanted formatted. Is there a better way to do this?

2. Is there a way, if I need to use text fields, to have bold, italics, underline, etc. applied to selected words in the field? Or if I need to format selected words in, say a paragraph, am I just better off staying with rtf's?

Thanks again for your posts.

Al
