Could you not just add your styles to the default sheet the LO is using?

Ah I see, I’ll give that a miss, I’ll just end up breaking it!

What is an “icon” then? I presume we’re not talking the fluffy little
boxes on my desktop?!

It might be a nice feature to be able to import additional
styles in toolkits to let us web developers make things look pretty J -
surely if css is coded to w3 standard the accessibility stuff should still
work?

The icon property doesn’t load a stylesheet. It, er, loads an
icon…

If you want to load stylesheet in toolkits, I think you’ll have
to modify the Nottingham.rlt file and put it on the LO icon in there. Use the
‘stylesheet’ property.

Beware what this will do to all the accessibility options in the
bottom of the interface…

The only difference I can see
is that my stylesheet isn’t called style.css (but I presume this makes no
difference?...if it does I’ll sulk in the corner).

I remoted into the server
just to check the css file is in the media dir – it is.

You’re
doing something wrong, as your example works for me – see attached.

Do
you have FileLocation + ‘styles.css’ on the LO icon? Can’t really see what else
it could be.

Hi Dave

Adding a space after the
colon doesn’t make any difference. Just to check I copied the example css from
the wiki:

link

{

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

size: 12px;

color: #00DDFF;

}

and then linked this to my LO
using the icon property on the root learning object page

on an introduction page tried
using <link>this is some styled text</link>

publish/view = no style

L

any other suggestions?

Think
you need that space after the colon.

Also, this helps:

display: inline;

Otherwise if tags are nested you get a line break.

Paul discovered that one.

OK, so I’ve created a CSS
file with

niceText 

{

font-family:
Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

color:#009999;

font-size:40px;

}

Located it using the Learning
Object icon resource.

In a text area I coded:

bla bla bla
<niceText>testing the style</niceText> bla bla bla

published and viewed but the
style hasn’t changed. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

(I tried #niceText in css and
lowercase variations to no avail – I also tried a
la xhtml syntax but that didn’t work either).

You
can also create your own tags in the stylesheet.

Check the archives for the discussion recently.

There
is. Its in the helpfile:

You can
format text with html
tags. The HTML tags supported are
<a>, , <li> 
. You can also specify a style sheet for the learning
object on the Learning Object icon's properties.

Is
there any documentation outlining what xhtml tags Xerte will understand? It
seems to work with some tags (e.g. <li>) but not others.

Thanks
