Question

CSS change works on my hard drive, not on network??

I'm using RH8 and generating web help. I have several tables that require the header row text to be rotated 270 degrees. To accomplish this, I added the following filter to the CSS: filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);

When I generate web help on my hard drive, it looks great. If I publish it to the network or copy the !SSL! folder to the network, the cell heading text appears normal with no rotation. Any ideas?

Here's a clip from the CSS:

p.CellHeading {
margin-left: 0.000pt;
margin-right: 0.000pt;
text-align: left;
text-indent: 0.000pt;
margin-top: 0.000pt;
margin-bottom: 0.000pt;
word-spacing: 0.250em;
color: #000000;
letter-spacing: 0.00em;
font-family: Arial;
font-style: italic;
font-size: 10pt;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
text-decoration: none;

By the way, I don't know just enough about CSS and HTML to get by with very basic stuff - I'm a real amateur when it comes to coding.

    Hi,

    RoboHelp has a habit of changing your css on generating output. Try pasting your original CSS in your output folder, it should all work then.

    Just note the a filter only works in IE. Check out http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/css-text-rotation for some more info on rotating text. (You will need to get creative to feed all the browsers the correct css so they will all display the text correct).

    Greet,

    Willam

    PS. You can replace stuf like margin-left: 0.000pt with margin-left: 0;

    No luck. I also compared the CSS files and they match exactly.

    That's rather peculiar...

    Do you open the WebHelp on the network with exactly the same browser as your local browser (Internet Explorer, same version?).

    I couldn't find anyting on it, but it might be a security setting. Try adding the webhelp location to the trusted sites.

    The MSDN-site has a comprehensive article about css filters: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532847%28VS.85%29.aspx you may find some more usefull information there.

    Greet,

    Willam
