I have recently moved to RH8. I am having a problem with the Preview display and the compiled CHM.
In the Preview, the font size is smaller than it is in Design View. In the compiled CHM, the links do not change color on mouse-over, there is no underline on the links, the list numbers use the wrong font and size, and the Heading at the top is the wrong style - it has a top border instead of shading. What do you need to see in order to help me. I can't see a link for posting a file to post my css. Am I just missing it?

Hi,
The design view is not a real WYSIWYG. Trust your output 
I'd like to take a look at your css. Please post it, or PM me for my e-mail.
Greet,
Willam

OK. This is THE most serious problem I'm having with RH8. The Style for the text shown in the image works fine in Design View. It also works fine and compiles in another project that uses the same .css. It does not compile properly in my main project. It works when I import a topic from my main project into the small project. I cannot figure out where the problem is. There are no styles defined in the topic. There are no styles defined or attached to my master page. There are no other css files in the folder. I'm going nuts. If I can't figure this problem out, I'm going to have to abandon RoboHTML altogether.
The scripts have to do with displaying video clips. These work fine. The images show the Box topic in the chm (left) and a browser window (right). Here is the topic code:
