RapidPHP 2008: CSS Preview [solved]

Post by BertrandH »

In the help file Editing style sheets > Previewing style sheets, it says:
Style sheets can be previewed in two ways

Based on automatically generated web page which generates content for each selector
Based on any HTML document of your choice

Style sheet preview mode can be selected using Preview toolbar. Click here to learn more.
But, when you change the page that should be used for the preview, it doesn't work. (I mean using a different HTML document.) Speaking about the preview from the .css file of course.

Tried these three ways:
1) in options > preferences, and then preview> CSS preview by adding the page, highlighting (selecting) it, and choosing "apply", the page was also on top of the list,
2) using the preview bar as described in the help file,
3) combining 1) and 2) doesn't work either.

Closing and reopening the application (RapidPHP 2008) doesn't solve the problem.

Edition: [solved] added in the title

I just tested this with 9.1.98 and it works, but you do have to kick it.
Create your CSS as desired. Create a sample HTML file as desired, which uses your CSS class(es). In the preview of the CSS file (where it says 'Generate Preview File') click the 'Open' button to the left of the combo box and select the HTML file you created. The combo box might then change back to 'Generate Preview File'. However, the file should have appeared in the drop down combo box now, so select it and the HTML should appear using your CSS file.

I've not got my screencast software installed on this laptop so can't show you easily, but if you're still stuck, simply post back and I should have everything installed properly and can show you properly. :)

Yes, it works.

I should have thought about the dropdown menu. Maybe, it can be added in the help file?

Thank you for your help.
