What do I have to do to get WebHelp browser styles to match RH's style sheet?

In the PDF rendering, the styles conform to the .css styles, but the generated WebHelp in the browsers (Firefox and IE) does not.

I've check all the generated project's topic folders for the correct .css, and they're there. I also put a copy of the .css in the project's root folder as someone suggested, but that doesn't work.

I'm using RH 10, and I'm certainly no expert at it or HTML. Forgive me if I've done something stupid or not done something I should have.

Thanks.

Posted this reponse on another post....I'm on RH 10.0.1.292:

I've found some really strange issues converting RH9 projects to RH10. One of the things I noticed is the Text fomatting issue. In RH9, every page I created would have it's own .css page, which are listed in the Project Master -> Project Files folder. RH9 would apply every .css to the individual pages I had automatically.

Now in RH10, I found that none of the .css pages were being applied, and I have to pick one in the WebHelp settings and select "Apply to All". Not sure why this has changed but it was the only thing that would make all pages of my project have the same Styles and Formatting:

I just picked one of my .css sheets that had all the styles I needed.

What styling is the browser not using?

Even though the CSS is in the output, do all the topics correctly point to those CSS files? (Open the topic in a text editor and search for the link tag.

Willam,

  •   Arial in the .css is being rendered as a serif font in the browser.

  •   Indents in the .css don't persist in the broswer. (All appear at the far left of the broswer window).

  •   Character styles (bolt, itals, etc.) persist in the browser, but they're in the body of the topic HTML anyway.

  •   Yes, all navigation is "accurate."

Thanks for your help.

Bruce
