Unable to view data in CSS Properties list
Hi,
On Page 92, when I select View...CSS Properties, it shows on screen for about 2 seconds and then all of the data disappears from view leaving all of the buttons greyed out. Can you help please?

Hi there,
What version of VS / VWD are you running? Did you install Service Pack 1?
And is the control maybe losing focus in the Design View somehow?

CSS Properties view
Hi Imar,
Yes it is losing focus and yes, I have installed SP1. I have however found a work around. If I right click on the tab and choose 'New horizontal tab group' the data appears in the view. If I then right click on the tab and choose 'Move to the previous tab group' everything is as it should be! Strange but there you go! I'm happy with this so thanks anyway and thanks for the prompt reply.
Bill

Oh right, I think I know what's going one. Someone else reported this issue as well some time ago.
The problem is that you loaded the CSS panel in the Document Window. That means that once the CSS Properties Grid becomes active, the Design View looses focus. Thus the seleced control looses focus and the CSS Properties Grid is cleared.
A separate tab group is an option, but personally I find it much easier to dock the CSS Grid with one of the other panels, like the Toolbox or the Properties Grid.
To make it a tool window rather than a document window, try this:
1. Right click the CSS tab in the Document Window and choose Dockable (it was propably set to Tabbed Document)
2. The Windows now becomes a draggable panel
3. Drag it to the left or right of the screen and dock it with one of the other panels.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Imar

Found the post I was looking for: Manage Styles tab empty in WDM Express 2008
In one of the posts, kiwibrit posted some screenshots that show the CSS Grid in the middle Document Window, rather than docked with, for example, the Toolbox.
Cheers,
Imar
