Changing AR System server font styles


AR System uses fonts that are styled for browsers by CSS class rules. These rules are applied automatically to the data or label portion of a field. The following table outlines the style rules used for AR System fonts.

These classes include the specifications of such CSS properties as background color and font (which includes font family, weight, style, and size). These properties cannot be edited in Developer Studio.

The default class for a field's label and text is based on its entry mode (specified in the Database tab). If a field's entry mode is Required, its default label class will be f9, in addition to label.label. In the HTML, the label tag contains class="label f9"). Otherwise, the label class will be f6 (for an optional field). For system-level fields such as Request ID, the default class is f10.

To override the default class for the label or text of a field in Developer Studio, make selections on the Color/Font tab of the Field Properties dialog box. To override the default color (usually black) of the label or text of a field, clear the Default Label/Text Color check box, and select a color. Doing so adds inline styles to the field's HTML code. These inline styles take precedence over the CSS rules in any linked style sheets.

Warning

Do not increase the font size unless you also increase the size of the field's bounding box in Developer Studio. Because the scaling factor is tied to font sizes, your result might contain overlapping fields.
