CSS Panel Dreamweaver question...

[anna]

Simple little question, hope someone can answer...

When I am working in DW, I see on the CSS Styles panel that I have the option to throw some style sheets away, but on others, the trash option is grayed out.

Does anyone know why? Thanks!

hey anna,
when you say "on others", do you mean on other installations/versions of DW or on other pages you are working on?

Hi Pixel,

I mean that I have several style sheets in my css styles panel and one of them does not have the option of throwing out but every other style listed does have the option. Here are a couple of screen shots, maybe they will explain better.

is this an external or internal style sheet?

Hello Lou,

It is an external style sheet.

 

[LouTheDesigner]

Try not selecting the style sheet, but instead click in the white area around it.

Hopefully this picture helps:

Note that doing this will cut off the reference to the external sheet, and will likely leave a bit of "orphaned" code in your html.

Hope this helps,

-Lou

Thank you for the suggestion, Lou; unfortunately it didn't really make a difference... Oh well, I was just curious, if you think of anything else, please let me know. Thank you for your help!

You know Anna after looking at the screen shots, I am not sure as to why you can delete one and not the other, especially when it looks like they are the same class? I do use DW but I don't use the CSS panel. I tend to just go through everything manually.

Looks like your using CS4 too huh? I am jealous I love the tabbing feature in all the CS4 apps.

 

[anna]

Yes Pixel, I am using CS4. What version are you using? What tabbing features do you speak of? Am I missing out?!?

 

[LouTheDesigner]

He's referring to the tab feature when you have multiple documents open.

It's much easier to switch between documents this way, as opposed to having another instance of Dreamweaver open.

Ahhh yes, pretty handy, I see. Thank you for the information, Lou!

Oh, BTW, I figured the style sheet problem out.

I was working off my style sheet when I was trying to trash them so it wouldn't let me. As soon as I clicked "source code" then the option to throw them away was available.

Thanks for all your help gentlemen!
