Default color/font

OK, I know I' being stupid, but...

I have an external CSS file set up via the TextBoxCssFiles which works as far as it goes - it defines the background color of the editor to be black - and this works. Now I want the default text color - when a user comes along and starts writing (and before they select any style/fonts etc) to be white. Tried everything but can't get it to do that...

...?

Re: Default color/font

If you reply with the content of your external CSS file to show how you set the color attributes, we can help you better. Thanks.

Re: Default color/font

Well, there is nothing to post, really. I have
body
{
background-color : #000000;
}
which sets the text editor background to black. Now I want to set the (default) font color to white, (before the user selects any styles or fonts)

cheers

background-color: #000000;
}

Re: Default color/font

You'd think so, wouldn't you? This works in Firefox, but in IE (8) the text appears as black on a white "highlight"...

Re: Default color/font

Our ExternalCssFiles live demo sample uses both background and foreground colors and it works properly for both IE8 and Firefox. Please try our sample at http://www.karamasoft.com/Samples.aspx?component=UltimateEditor&sample=ExternalCSSFiles and let us know if it doesn't work for you. If the live demo sample doesn't work for you, let us know about your operating system and web browser version details so that we can try to test it in a similar environment.

Re: Default color/font

I have seen that sample, butg the only way (I can get) to set the text color to be anything other than black is to select a style for it - but I need it to be white *without any style having been selected* - ie the default. Your sample defaults to black text, and color is only applied when the text is wrapped in a style attribute seting it so.

Re: Default color/font

If you take a look at StyleSheet2.css in that sample, the body style is defined as follows:

body
{
color:#0000FF;
}

Therefore, the body text color is defined as blue, not black. If you are not able to achieve what you're looking for through external CSS files, try setting the initially selected values for the foreground and back color toolbar buttons in your editor XML file as shown in our Initialize Toolbar Items sample at http://www.karamasoft.com/Samples.aspx?component=UltimateEditor&sample=InitializeToolbarItems.
