I downloaded stylemaster with all of my courses. I have just begun the introductory course on HTML, XHTML, and CSS. I have noticed that stylemaster uses style sheets. Are style sheets appropriate for the exercises in the first course? I tried putting some of the early exercises into the middle pane (design pane?), but the results of my code don't show up immediately below. The default information about headings, etc... remains in the middle, bottom pane. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/tutorial-problem-from-the-start#post-1965 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:01:13 +0000 JMagarigal 1965@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>The html file that I copied and pasted to both a BBEdit file and to a Pages file does not enter into the the box for New from HTML Document. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/horizontal-split-screen-codedesign#post-1962 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:57:12 +0000 TomH 1962@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>How can the the split screen code/design be arranged left/right so that the screens are beside each other horizontally--to match a 2 monitor work area where the 2 monitors are side by side horizontally?

Using StyleMater 4.6.1 and the Tutorial I have created 3 webpages controlled by a CSS. Whew.</p> <p>Now I want to create a header. It's not clear what goes into the style sheet for this. Is it #header? Can I then put text and graphics in the header? Do I put this in the style sheet or in the html? Where do the div things go?</p> <p>How is every header on every webpage going to be the same?</p> <p>Told you I was confused. </p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Art </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/basic-css-tutorial-question-link-doesnt-seem-automatic#post-1901 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:13:20 +0000 jlt 1901@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Greetings,<br /> I am sure I am just being slow... but I have just downloaded Style Master and started the CSS tutorial. I copy pasted the html into textedit and saved it as an html document called "index" in a folder on my desktop (root). I then choose new from HTML document and select the 'index' document. My problem is that I cannot cause it to link - nothing that looks like this:<br /> &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="core-style.css" /&gt;<br /> &lt;/head&gt;<br /> gets added to my document... even when I do it manually.<br /> As a result, my design window/web page just shows the html...<br /> and I can change its color/font size/etc... but there is a big missing step linking the html and style sheet. Argh... so sorry to bug you with what is probably a really boneheaded confusion on my part!<br /> Thanks much </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/bug-firefox-moz-border-radius-bottonleft#post-1954 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 09:24:22 +0000 wikitect 1954@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>-moz-border-radius-bottonleft .... should be bottomleft </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/stylemaster-closes-abruptly#post-963 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 11:53:53 +0000 gof 963@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>I am using the Demo version with Win XP-2.

Absolutely 'Nothing' happens! Of course, I can create it manually, but the whole point is that I need a program that will speed up my turn around time, as I've been coding CSS by hand for quite some time, and at this point it's just too time consuming. It would be nice if this program would work, minus the [other] glitches I've found, but none as nerve-racking as this one.</p> <p>FYI: I am running OS X 10.5.8, using Style Master v. 5.0.0</p> <p>Tracy </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/going-nuts-over-statements#post-1919 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:53:46 +0000 trevert 1919@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>I'm working my way through the tutorial as I attempt to both learn basic CSS and also see if StyleMaster is going to be the program I use to maintain our website. I seem to be running into a lot of stumbling blocks, though - already emailed support about an issue with the design pane, and command-S doesn't save (it makes screen caps). I've just hit another problem, I think.</p> <p>I quote from the tutorial:<br /> ------------------------------------<br /> To create an id selector</p> <p>1. from the Statement menu select New and then ID Selector....<br /> The ID Selector Editor opens.<br /> 2. don't worry about any of the tabs - simply type the name of your id in the field on the bottom right<br /> 3. click OK<br /> ---------------------------------------</p> <p>I'm trying to create a custom id selector, and do the following:<br /> Click the Statement menu<br /> Click 'New'<br /> Choose 'ID Selector'<br /> I type in the selector word I want ('workshop', for example, but I've tried many words), click OK, and nothing happens. No new selector appears.</p> <p>If I manually type in the new selector ('#workshop') in the code window, it will appear in the Statement List and all goes fine, but it seems that several of the 'New' options in the Statements menu do nothing at all.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong? </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/snow-leopard-support#post-1905 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:55:33 +0000 dharma52 1905@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Is there going to be an upcoming version of WebDesign that will work with snow leopard?

For example I have applied the display: block and now all links within &lt;p&gt; are now blocked.<br /> I have gone through the tutorial text three times now and can't find any reference to how to prevent this ( I've probably missed something).<br /> Any suggestions?<br /> Thanks </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/use-of-include-files-in-php#post-1521 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 03:46:04 +0000 be_lie 1521@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>I'm currently testing the demo and I'm wondering if there's a way for Stylemaster to deal with markup that exist in include files.
