I have added a number of new styles to my stylesheet. They show up fine in my Design view. However, once I apply them, then click on the preview button or even generate webhelp to see what they look like as generated, the styles are not showing up. What am I missing?
btw.. I am using RH10.
Thanks!

OK... i just scoured my updated help and found 2 "{" brackets that were out of place! Oh my gosh.. i'm so sorry... but I KNEW it had to be something simple I was missing... but i really had to go thru it with a fine-tooth eye!
THANKS! SO SORRY FOR THE BLONDENESS ONCE AGAIN!

Is the style sheet you use present in the output folder? Does the output view show any errors? Is the problem only in preview/webhelp, or does it also occur in CHM/AIR?
It's a strange issue and we need a little more information to find out what is going on.
Kind regards,
Willam

Hi... it's happening in the generated output as well as the preview. I tried generating various outputs... same result... no styles applied - no apparent errors. Here's what appeared in the Output View for each:

anything? It's a puzzlement for me... and I suspect I'm missing something really simple.
Thanks for your help!
I'm going to try removing the updated css and replacing it with the old one that did work. brb.

ok... so I took screen caps of the updated CSS results in both Design and output views, as well as the original (and just reapplied) CSS results in both Design and output views... I must have done SOMETHING to the updated one to cause it not to generate properly because it looks fine in the Design view??????????????????
