Hello,

I am pretty new to DNN and am having a real bear of a time with CSS. I know that will come as a surprise to many but it's true.

Can anyone give me some pointers on ways to minimize the amount of time it takes to figure out which style is being applied and how to fix it when the CSS is coming from the module. I know I can edit the module CSS files but I want to do the right thing, which isn't always the apparent or expedient thing.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

J

try using a developer toolbar for your browser, like MS Dev Toolbar (included in IE8, simply press F8) or Firebug for Firefox. You can highlight an element on the page and get displayed the CSS settings applied as well as the files, they are defined in.

Hehe - I feel your pain with CSS - hate it ;)

Yes, you can't go wrong with Firebug or the Web Developer toolkit in FF - just right click, Inspect Element, and play around...

And I would not edit the module.css, since you will loose your changes if you upgrade the module.

You can add this skin object to not load a specific module.css file at all:

Thanks for the replies. I have added firebug and the cssunloader and will be working towards complete exorcism. Hopefully nobody has uploaded any pea soup to my site recently....

Question: As far as performance in DNN is concerned, is it better to have one large CSS file or multiple smaller files? Let's assume that all pages on the site are roughly equivalent in their use of CSS and are hit about the same amount.

I was thinking about excluding all other CSS files and just having one per portal. Is that generally a good or bad idea?
