component style sheet?

Options

Is there anyway you can custom style your components and configure the layout? If so is there a reference on how I can modify my css?

  • Yes, although you maybe limited somewhat in changing layout - and the amount of control you have varies from application to application. Changing colors and whatnot is often fairly straightforward.

    I don't know that there is any documentation from Convio in particular, but there is a great tool to use to investigate HTML and CSS on a webpage -- the Firebug plugin for Firefox (Google's chrome has something similar built into it, but I don't think it is as nice a tool).

    You can right click on a portion of the page, and find what styles are influencing what part of the page.

    You should be able to override any particular style in your site's CustomCSS file.

    I think Firebug is the javascript debugger heavyweight. Give the Web Developer extension a gander. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60) Indespensable!

    Javascript debugging is only 20% (if that much) of what Firebug does. I use it all the time to find out what styles are applied to an element by using the inspecter tool.

    True enough, Firebug does do lots more. I just meant that Firebug does JS debugging better than just about anything else out there. However I personally think Web Developer does the CSS, html, forms, and what not better. Give it a try. It does just about everything you'd need to design your page (aside from JS debugging.) Just browsing thru the toolbar I see...

    Disable - Java, Javascript, redirects, cache, etc.

    Cookies- View, manage, disable cookies.

    CSS - View, disable, edit live, add

    Forms - Inspect, populate fields, enable disabled fields, etc.

    Images - inspect, hide, display alts, etc.

    Info - summary reports on everything! Links, anchors, div order, stack order, table depth, colors, etc.

    Misc - Rules, guides, show comments and hidden, etc.

    Outline - block elements, table elements, depreciated, etc. (One of the coolest features!)

    Resize browser

    Validation - html, css, rss, links, section 508, etc

    I also like X-RAY quite a bit for CSS inspecting, its very neat if anything. You should see it.
