I've created a div with runat="server" to drop in some text with the RADEditor module.

The div looks like this in the skin html file:

<div id="HeaderText_innerPane" class="HeaderText_innerPane" runat="server"></div>

The idea is to drop a title into this div, which will appear over some content in another pane.

But after dropping in the title text ("Dr. Purewal")  it doesn't get the styling defined by class="HeaderText_innerPane".  The text gets dropped into a div within the dnn:HeaderText_innerPane div and gets assigned the Normal class.  The HTML at the browser looks like this:


div id="dnn_HeaderText_innerPane" class="HeaderText_innerPane"
    <a name="679"></a>
    <div id="dnn_ctr679_ModuleContent" class="ModDNNHTMLC">
        <div id="dnn_ctr679_HtmlModule_lblContent" class=Normal"> Dr. Purewal </div>
    </div>
</div>

The "Dr. Purewal" text is getting assigned the Normal class instead of HeaderText_innerPane.  

Does anyone see what's going on here?  Why is a link getting inserted into my HTML and why doesn't my assigned class have any effect on the text I entered through the module?

Thanks for any help.

Did you create the div in the skin? you will need to create it inside your module.

Yes, the div looks like this in the skin html file:

<div id="HeaderText_innerPane" class="HeaderText_innerPane" runat="server"></div>

However, in your current situation you should be able to style your class by using "HeaderText_innerPane Normal"

Yes, but how would I know that without looking at the source and seeing what the RADEditor produced?  The whole idea of supplying a class with the div at the skin is so that you know what class to style. And how do I know that the RADEditor will keep using the Normal class, since I have no idea why it chose Normal in the first place?

Yes.  I've found another way to to style the content is to switch the editor to HTML mode and have it insert the content in a paragraph with a class:

<p class="HeaderText_innerPane">Dr. Purewal</p>

Then I can style the paragraph directly from skin.css.
