CSS Not Updating

[emersonbsmh]

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at Contribute 3 to see if it's the thing to use to
implement across the organisation, and I've stumbled whilst updating in
Dreamweaver alongside it.

I've added a new run of classes in my CSS stylesheet which Contribute previews
fine, but as soon as I try to edit the page, the new styles dissapear, and I
can't select them from the drop down list.

Am I missing a way to force Contribute to refresh its style list from the CSS
file?

What I've found is that CSS IDs and classes which are preceded by a tag
do not show up in Contribute. For example:

Won't show in Contribute:
div.orange { color: orange; }
h1#header { background: #abcdef; }

Will show in Contribute:
..orange { color: orange; }
#header { background: #abcdef; }

Hope this helps.

- Kevin

I had a look through following your suggestion and bizarrely it seems I've got
the opposite problem - as soon as I specify a tag - td.eventtitle {
color:etc... } they appear in Contribute - no preceding tag and they're not
there.

Does anyone know a reason for this?
