Style Sheets - Intellisense

[Mr Newbie]

Does anyone know how (if ) I can get intellisense to work for style sheets
so I dont have to remember the damn CSS properties etc? its driving me NUTS
!!!!

Cheers

In FrontPage, there is not a lot of intellisense for things like style
sheets. You might try using an external style sheet. I know you have Visual
Studio.Net, and the style sheet editor in VS.Net *does* have intellisense,
so you may prefer to edit your style sheet threre.

Hi Kevin,

Yes, but Im having problems with VS, because the changes made to the style
sheet do not update allways and somtimes you have to close the webform and
re-open it to make the changes happen.

Ive posted a question regarding this in the ASPNET newgroups.

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Very odd. I noticed in the VS.Net newsgroup that you were using VS.Net 2003,
am I correct? I've been using VS.Net 2005 with no issues.

Yes I am using VS2003 not 2005

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Well, I can't help you there. I never did get around to using the style
sheet editor in VS.Net 2003.

The style sheet editor is OK, it has intellisense applied to it so thats
cool, but the style sheet changes sometimes dont update the webform.

Ive done what I needed to do now, so Im over that particular hump.

Life seems like such a list of peaks and dips with .NET, and what a learning
curve !!!!! There seems to be endless design descisions at every stage,
still as I get used to it, Im sure I'll find my way.

Thanks

Believe me, Mr. N, we all suffer with it. Web interface development is
extremely difficult. After doing it for over 10 years, I still find myself
spending hours a day researching. Unlike Windows Forms, you have quite a
slew of envirnomental issues, markup languages, client browsers, etc etc, to
deal with, and of course, new stuff is added every month, it seems.

I just finished work on a "frameless frameset," which uses HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript (otherwise known as DHTML) to create a frameset with 2 frames
that is not a frameset, but a single page, but behaves like a frameset. It
took me almost a week to write it, and it has no content yet (other than
lorem ipsum)! It's main purpose is to display a TOC on the left, with links
to bookmarks on the right. But between the vagaries of different browsers,
flavors of JavaScript and CSS, and the incredibly difficult-to-research
standards organization web sites, I'm about ready for a vacation now!

I bet you are.

Once its up and running, let me have the URL as I would be interested to see
how you did it.

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Email me, and I'll send you a copy!

I do hope to have one up and running shortly on our company web site, as we
are using it in-house for documentation of our .Net component libraries,
which we hope to market at some point. However, it will contain a lot of
HTML documentation in it. I do have the prototype as a zip archive, with the
CSS and external JavaScript files included. The prototype is empty except
for some lorem ipsum and a few test links in each frame. But it is
fully-functional.

As I get a lot of SPAM on my personal domain email address, your email is
much more likely to be seen if you send it to my work email address (remove
