Using a style from within

Hi again,

The image button thing posted earlier is working now.

We do have one other issue that puzzles us. With EditorWysiwygModeCSS it is
possible to specify a location for an external stylesheet. Is there a
possibility to use styles defined within the <head> tag of the page that
itself contains the RichTextBox?
Our stylesheets are stored in a database, so we do not have a file location.
What we do not like is to save the style sheet temporarily to a file
location and point to that. We already have the styles in <head><style> so
we would like to use these. Any suggestions??

TIA,

Kind regards,
@win.

Hi Edwin,

The scenario you describe isn't directly supported, but I think there
are a couple of ways to approach this:

1. Output the CSS to a file and import it using the CSS property (as you
described). If the stylesheet is common across content, this is probably
your best bet.

2. If you have large numbers of styles, you may find that including them
inline is the best approach. The challenge here is to add them to the
document in such a way that Internet Explorer does not remove them. For
example, below is a piece of HTML that includes a style inline. If you
paste this into the HTML view of a RichTextBox and look at the page,
you'll see the heading appear in red. In general this approach seems to
work fine, although if you move the <h1>.</h1> to the top above the
style, you'll find that IE will strip the style tags. A workaround for
this is to place the styles *last* in the document. If you still find IE
is removing them, and add some white space after the style definitions.
To keep your documents and the styles separate, just strip the <style>
tags when the page is submitted to the server.

Note that the styles must go in the document, because the it is
displayed in an iframe and the only way to add styles to the iframe is
in the document. Well, actually, that's not entirely true. I believe you
can use script to add individual styles to the iframe, but I'm not sure
that is going to work for you.

Any help?

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for your reply - it is of help. We will try the second option first.
Is there any other advantage to point to a CSS file? For instance: Is the
drop down list in RTB with the style classes being updated dynamically with
the styles defined within the external file??

Thanks again,
@win.

Hi Ollie

I'm the colleague of Edwin and also working with your control. We've tried
option 2 and it works, but now we want to take it a step further, of course
:-)

Is it possible to remove the style we added, when we go from wysiwyg mode to
html mode and visa versa?

TIA

Kind regards

Ronnie

The drop-down list contents are entirely under your control. So really
where you put the styles is down to your needs, although as Ronnie
mentioned in his post, if you use inline styles they will be added to
the document and therefore visible in the HTML view. Because of that the
preference is usually going to be to go for an external CSS file.

Hi Ollie,

Unfortunately (or fortunately from the content editors' point of view)
WebDirector.nl can be used by a lot of different content managers at the
same time, editing a lot of different pages, using a lot of different style
sheets. So it's not that simple to just create an external style sheet file
somewhere.
So if there is a hookup somehow to control what happens when the HTML
checkbox is clicked, than we could make the style sheet automatically
disappear when content editors switch to HTML view and include it again when
they switch to WYSIWYG mode again - like Ronnie suggested.

TIA,
@win.

I think with the feature set of the control as it is at the moment, your
best bet is going to be external stylesheets. When I suggested using
inline ones, I assumed you were disabling the HTML view and that's
obviously not the case. I think we're hitting the limits of the control
in its current form here.

Hi Ollie

We've solved the problem, we've set the EditorWysiwygModeCss property to an
aspx file. Like this:
.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "GetCss.aspx"
and the GetCss.aspx.vb
Dim strCSS As String = GetCSS(ConnectionString,CssID)
Response.Expires = -1
Response.Write(strCSS)
You have to expire the page, so that it couples a new stylesheet instead of
the one that was created the first time, because it stays in cache.

So we're pushing the limits a little further. :-)

inline is the best approach. The challenge here is to add them to the
document in such a way that Internet Explorer does not remove them. For
example, below is a piece of HTML that includes a style inline. If you paste
this into the HTML view of a RichTextBox and look at the page, you'll see
the heading appear in red. In general this approach seems to work fine,
although if you move the <h1>.</h1> to the top above the style, you'll find
that IE will strip the style tags. A workaround for this is to place the
styles *last* in the document. If you still find IE is removing them, and
add some white space after the style definitions. To keep your documents and
the styles separate, just strip the <style> tags when the page is submitted
to the server.

Note that the styles must go in the document, because the it is displayed in
an iframe and the only way to add styles to the iframe is in the document.
Well, actually, that's not entirely true. I believe you can use script to
add individual styles to the iframe, but I'm not sure that is going to work
for you.

Any help?

Subject: [aspngrichtextbox] Using a style from within <header>

Hi again,

The image button thing posted earlier is working now.

We do have one other issue that puzzles us. With EditorWysiwygModeCSS it is
possible to specify a location for an external stylesheet. Is there a
possibility to use styles defined within the <head> tag of the page that
itself contains the RichTextBox?
Our stylesheets are stored in a database, so we do not have a file location.
What we do not like is to save the style sheet temporarily to a file
location and point to that. We already have the styles in <head><style> so
we would like to use these. Any suggestions??

TIA,

Kind regards,
@win.
