I want to use css at lotus notes client

  1. Create the stylesheet in any editor, you can, for example, have this info in the css:

table.IncomingSource {

border-width: 0px;

border-spacing: 0px ;

border-style: solid;

border-color: black;

border-collapse: collapse;

}

table.IncomingSource th {

border-width: 1px;

padding: 0px;

border-style: solid;

border-color: black;

}

table.IncomingSource td {

border-width: 1px;

padding: 0px;

border-style: solid;

border-color: black;

}

  1. Call it whatever you like, as in “teststyle.css” and save it somewhere on your disk.

  2. Create the stylesheet as a shared resource in your database. Just go to “Shared resources” → “Style Sheets” and select the file you just created.

  3. In your forms, place the cursor anywhere you like, but a good place is at the very top of the form. It doesn’t matter if that is a hidden area of the form or not.

Select menuitems “Create” → “Resource” → “Insert Resource…” and select the stylesheet you just inserted as a shared resource.

  1. I create a pass-thru HTML as follow

Odd as it may seem, the CSS in the style sheet only applies to the rich text constructs themselves. The reason is that the HTML to rich text conversion IBM uses does not recognize CSS at all. For that, you would need a third party product to convert the HTML to rich text.
