Formatting rich text field on web

A document is being editing in Notes.

A typical problem:

The document contains a rich text field. When I save the document the font size is set to ex. Verdana 9.

I use another form to view the document on web. The rich text field on web is shown with the same properies as when it was saved in Notes. I now want to change the font size on web. I have set this code in pass-thru HTML before the field, but it do not work…

I have also try putting this in the stylesheet, but it’s only working in editmode…

TEXTAREA {

font: normal 7pt verdana;

}

Is there any possibility to format the font size of the rich text field?

The reason you are having this problem is this -The data saved in richtext fields incorporate the formatting as well as the text. If a user were to change from verdana to courier, that would be saved too. The font that is specified in a form is only the starting point for the richtext field’s formatting. Displaying a document with a different form having a different font doesn’t change this.

but is there any way to manage the look of a rich text field on web?

If your objective is to display all the text with a single format (i.e. the same font, the same bolding, etc.), then you can use a text computed-for-display field with a value of @Text(richtextfield)

Personally, because of problems like yours, I avoid richtext fields wherever I can, particularly in Web applications.
