Hotspot format

[robert_sfl]

Hello all,
I found that any CSS format for expanding text hotspots is overridden by the link format. If I define hotspots red then this works, but if I additionally define links blue then both link and hotspots appear blue in the output. The WYSIWYG-Editor does not display correctly.
Is this a fact or can I work around and use two different formattings?

Now I found the solution: Simply alter the order of the definitions in the CSS stylesheet and it works! When I place the hotspot class definition at the end then it is not overridden by the link format anymore.

So this is actually sort of a bug of the standard RoboHelp output.

...or, it could be an unintended consequence spawned by the HTML Standards Committee.

Kinda like having to make sure that your link classes are always link, visited, hover, in that order.


Good luck,
Leon
