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

I need help with css or style sheets and Notes. I know css, not as well as I should, but the problem is not with the css.

It is with applying them to Notes docs for the Web.

For example, I have a doc and two forms. One form is for one web site, The same doc with another form is for a different web site. I have always heard I could apply different style sheets to handle the look of things in this situation. I can get links and headers ok, but not rtf and text fields that make up the bulk of my data.

So I have tried it, not too successfully. I can not get rtf's or large text fields to display properly. I now find out that if I did any formatting inside the rtf, the css won't work. Well that's not too good. And besides I can find nothing in the documentation on Notes about this limitation.

So next I tried to cut and paste some of my rtf text into a regular text field. I can not get css to work for this. How do you actually use css on a field? I have the css in my form, and it works ok on simple things, like links and headers. But not on the large fields that have lots of data, both rtf and text fields that I use in the body of the page or in <P>'s or paragraphs.

I tried setting up something like this:

<P><CalculatedText></P>. That only seems to work on brand new text fields where none of the data has been in an rtf field. Is there another way to apply css code against a field?

I think I was able to get the css to work on a new test field where I reinput the data by hand, but I next found out I can not do bolds and underlines in this field.

What good is css if I am confined to so limited a usage? Or am I missing something? Is there any documentation on implementing css for rtf's and text fields? I would love to see something that shows concrete examples. The help file in Designer was to general and vague about this issue.

By the way has anyone else noticed that IBM seems to reorganize this web site about every month or so. I think I saw something on the old Iris web site about css, but I can not find where IBM put it.

Thanks for any tips or help.
