Dumb CSS Question

[Sitara Lal]

Hi,

I am trying to use a CSS template on a FP 2002 site.

I can easily assign class attributes (e.g. .texthead{font:small-caps bold
36px Georgia} to chunks of text by selecting the text and using the
formatting toolbar to select the style.

However, how do I employ an ID attribute (e.g. #rightcontent p
{font-size:10px}) to a block of text? These ID attributes do not show in the
formatting toolbar.

Of course I understand that I could hand code HTML and use the CSS template,
but the whole idea of using FP was to avoid hand coding!

Thanks for clarifying this,

SL

Hi,
That's not a dumb question atall - it would be a good question to ask MS
There's no way to do this without getting into the code - clearly this would
be a useful feature and hopefully it will appear in future versions.

Actually, FrontPage 2003 has this capability.

1. Choose Toolbars from the View menu, and then Style.
2. Select the element you want to identify.
3. Type the ID value you want into the ID box on the
Style toolbar.
