I have a problem setting up the default editor font for the text area.  After searching the forums, I found two properties mentioned that should help me do this.  EditorWysiwygModeCSS and EditorBodyStyle.

 

First I tried setting the EditorWysiwygModeCSS to point to a stylesheet (Editor.css).  The editor.css file has the textarea style defined as follows:

 

 

When I go run the page, it shows verdana by default in the font dropdown.  However, as soon as I click on the text area, Times New Roman is selected.  Times New Roman is not specified anywhere in the stylesheet (nor in any stylesheet in the project).

 

So then I tried to use the editorbodystyle property as below (put in the page.load event of the asp.net page)

 

Same thing happens when I run the page.  Verdana is shown by default but when I click on the textarea, times new roman is selected.

 

I then tried both solutions combined, still no luck.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

 

PS Hopefully if you guys answer with a question and I reply to it you would answer back again.  My last few questions were answered with a question and when I replied back it was left unanswered after that (which defeats the purpose of asking the back up questions to begin with). 

 

 

 

 

ralc001,

 

This will not work:

 

edtField10.EditorBodyStyle = "textarea { font:normal 12px arial; }"

 

This is correct:

 

<CE:Editor id="Editor1" runat="server" EditorWysiwygModeCSS="Editor.css"></CE:Editor>

 

 

TEXTAREA
{
font-size: 10pt;
color: black;
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial;
}

 

Thanks.  That did indeed seem to work.

 

Which brings me to my next question:

 

Is there a way to programatically set the default font?

 

If a user prefers a default font (e.g. we have a dropdown with fonts on a "front page"), can I somehow pass on that font to the editor to use as a default?

 

Will I have to somehow programatically change the textarea values in the stylesheet file?  Or will I have to have several stylesheets (with different fonts specified in each stylesheet for the textarea) and change the stylesheet that the EditorWysiwygModeCSS property points to?  Thanks again
