- How to Keep the Background Image from Repeating
It appears that the easiest way to keep it from repeating is to make it the same size as the page specified in the title. If it is different, frequently it will repeat. If you want to stop that, create an HTML object at the title level so it will be on all pages. You can shrink it down so it does not get in the way of your design. It is only a place holder.
In the Custom HTML box enter this:
<style text="text/css">
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
</style>

IE 6 sometimes displays an annoying image bar when the mouse is rolling over an image.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">
- How to Right Justify an Entry Field
To make the entry field right adjusted as you would for entering numbers in a Form Entry field or
a Fill in the Blank question, create an HTML object containing:
a Fill in the Blank question, create an HTML object containing:
<style> input { text-align: right;} </style>
- How to Suppress Entry Field Borders
To suppress the borders on an either a Form Entry field or a Fill in the Blank question, create an HTML object containing:
<style>input {border: none;}</style>
This works only when published to HTML.
This will apply to all input boxes on the page. If you want it to apply to just one, then add the HTML name after the input like this:
<style> input.entry368{border: none;} </style>
- How to Control the Color of Hyperlinks
The styles Lectora uses by default do prevent the link visited colors from changing. It can be overwritten using a style sheet. If you want to change the link colors try adding a CSS similar to this. Create an HTML object with the default Properties. Insert this:
<style>
a span, a:visited span {color: red }
a span, a:hover span {color: purple }
or
A:link {text-decoration: none; color:#c29b80;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color:#c29b80;}
A:active {text-decoration: none; color:#c29b80;}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255,0,0);}
</style>

document.onhelp = new Function("return false;");
window.onhelp = new Function("return false;");
