I did put the code into the default.css file. As well, the class name was put in.

What may be at issue here is the client used Easy Mod to do some skin enhancements and there is a style sheet created by this module which may be causing conflicts.  I'm checking that out.

"I am confused about what you’re trying to achieve here.

If you want to style a DNN control in the skin there’s no need to mess with it. All you have to do is:

1. Put cssclass=”className” in the control  call (The part that is written <dnn:COPYRIGHT runat="server" id="dnnCOPYRIGHT"  CssClass="className" /> NOT the control call at the top)  I did this. :)  I'm telling you it didn't work.

2. Put the class definition as I sent you before in the skin.css file.  It is in there as we speak.

That’s it."

I certainly don't mean to be frustrating.

Thanks for your help.

Mike, does the skin object get the correct class you assign in the source of the page?
If so it's a CSS issue.
Also you should not edit default.css, it gets overwritten if DNN is updated (and you loose all your changes), use skin.css or portals.css please..

No frustration at all, just trying to understand your needs in order to help :)

I keep a copy of the default.css for that very reason. :)

One thing I do forget is what order the stylesheets are cycled through.  I edited default because in searching for the styles in use, that's where I found them.

I'll just try editing skin / portals css files but if I recall right, I did do this.  I set the class name in the object ... didn't work.  Specifically, I edited portals css with similar edits due to the concern you bring up.  When the class="stylename" didn't set for any attempts, and using default css did, I figured "Well, keep a copy of it because it will be overwritten," and figured that was how I had to do it.

What's wrong here?  As you can see, I'm a typical newbie at this. :)

From my documentation:

Stylesheet load order

If you want to create DNN skin effectively it is important to understand the order in which the stylesheets get loaded.

The order is; modules, framework, skin, container, portal.

 

Module.css

Default.css

Skin.css

“Skinname”.css

Container.css

“Containername”.css

Portal.css

If you use the exact same declaration in default.css and skin.css, it should be overridden by the skin as it is loaded later.
