Can't edit a parameter in HTML

[Moonlion2]

I'm trying to change "middle" to "top" in code you see below.

When I make the change and save the topic, RH7 undos the change whenever I switch out of HTML editing mode to Design mode (I presume that's when it happens, since it doesn't happen before my eyes while I'm looking at it and it has changed back when I re-enter HTML editing mode from Design mode).

My first thought was that a style sheet was overriding my changes. I checked the style sheet that the topic's associated with and I couldn't find a TR specification anywhere, just a TD one, and even that doesn't specify an alignment.

Why is RH7 not accepting my change?

And: Assuming that a style sheet is, somehow, overriding the edits I make in HTML mode and I'm overlooking the style somewhere. How do I force RH7 to accept my change no matter what?

[Moonlion2]

Let me expand my question to include: -any- part of the table HTML. Further experimentation shows I'm unable to change anything.

Also, when I manually create a table from scratch, it still inserts the "x-cell-content" tag. Grr!

What's causing this?

Have you tried selecting the row(s), right clicking, and selecting Cell Alignment > Top (in Design Mode, that is)?


Good luck,

I have.

The ost likely things that come to mind:

* You're working over a network (bad).
* You're working in a topic that's assigned to a template or master (whatever they call it in RH7).
* You have style info inside the HEAD section of the topic.
* The style assigned to the text in the table rows is superceding the table cell alignment.


Good luck,
Leon

1: Nope.
2. There is a CSS style sheet assigned to it, but like I say there are no definitions in that stylesheet that would seem to conflict with it--but even if so, say I'm overlooking something, how could I override that?
3: Not that I see.
4. No, for if I make a blank table from scratch using just HTML then RH7 still injects things on its own.

You might want to try editing it outside of RH. For example, edit it inside a text editor and then reload the topic inside RH to see if the change sticks. Sometimes RH just needs a kick to get it jump started.

I tried exactly that actually. I tried editing it in Notepad and pasting it back in, and then I created a brand new table starting with Notepad and pasted that in and the same behavior occurred.

In your reply, please click Attach Code and paste everything in one of these puppies, from <!doctype...> up to (and including) <body...>.

I've just tested a topic, and each valign change in Design was reflected in the code without exception (I ran through all three options twice).


Good luck,
Leon

Here ye be (with asterisks instead of sensitive words):

[MergeThis]

This line:

<link rel=StyleSheet href="..\tech_manual.css">

should have a forward slash, like:

<link rel=StyleSheet href="../tech_manual.css">

In addition, the ../ indicates that the CSS file is one level above this topic's location. Is that the case?
