Hello

Have just ?up-graded? to GoLive 9. Yes I have CS3 DW. I'm to old to change at this point.

Long time user with many websites, designed with GoLive 7. Most of these sites I have created, using one external "textMaster.css". All is fine.

I've created a simple new Golive 9 site with one "index" page. Imported one of my External.css, and placed this file in the CSS folder that GL9 creates.

On this index page I link to my external css, as in GoLive 7. Now I add a Grid layout, add a text box, and type some text. Once I'm finished, I select all the text and at the top menu bar assign [H1] to my text. In Golive 7, this would then use the [H1] text font,size,colour,etc. When I do this with GoLive 9, a two new external css are generated.

agl-styles.css
basic.css

The font size now seems to follow the agl-styles css, which for some reason has a font size of 66px assigned to [H1]???

If I delete the above two css files, the font DOES assign MY textMaster.css correctly. However as soon as I create another text box and then assign [H1] to it. All the text boxes on the page once again go to 66px. Also in the external css window, these two unwanted css files are back. In the "code" view, they are also now there.

What am I doing wrong?

I have also tried this with a small existing GoLive7 website, that I opened and updated in GoLive 9. Same story.

I have looked in the GoLive9 pdf manual to find out what a "agl-styles.css" file is, and how to stop it from being generated. No luck.

Thanks in advance for any direction.

That's just how GL9 "works", with the auto-generated CSS and what-not. If you don't want to switch to DW, can you go back to your older version of GoLive? Otherwise, you might check out this extension which was made to strip out the GL9-generated code:

Thanks Nate for your answer.

It's a VERY SAD SAD DAY, when one of the only reasons I was going to update from 7 to 9 was for a more up to date .css implementation.

SO VERY SAD to see, the most very basic one external text css, not work on a page.

I'm back to V7, got a refund from 9. Soon this forum which I have used for 7 years, will look like the hallways of the Vancouver airport at 11:47pm.

Thanks Nini, Nate, etc. I'll still be visiting this forum until it dies.

SAD SAD SAD! I'm sorry sir, there is now only one brand of car, it comes in one model and you have no options.

Argh... sorry, I'd posted the wrong extension link earlier. Corrected above, but here it is again, in case it's useful to anyone else:

I'm happy that the forum seems to be linked to it's Usenet group again.
Much easier to use than going through the Adobe Forums on the web.

Hi Nate,

This extension will remove all the agl-styles from my site? Will it permanently turn off all the automatically generated css behaviors too?

nate_baldwin

It doesn't turn anything off really, it's just supposed to strip them out after the fact (when you save the page or switch view modes). Seemed to work OK when I was testing it, but since I had version CS2, I just stuck with that instead of 9.

I'm stuck with a bunch of GoLive sites (been using GoLive since Cyberstudio days) that I don't want to convert to Dreamweaver just yet. The learning curve with fighting off these agl-styles is killing me. I purchased a new computer this year and installed CS3 and so sorry I didn't read this forum beforehand.

I am washing my hands of GL asap but hoped for a better solution than these work arounds. Ahh, GoLive was so wonderful once upon a time.

Thanks Nate.
