Hello Admins,

Firstly, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help. We at Lakewood TM Club really APPRECIATE the many, many hours that the Admins have put into the FTH web server for it to have the wealth of features and functionalities it's capable of. Also very grateful for the continued tech support you provide tirelessly.

I've edited and been trying to save the changes on one of our custom web pages, for example this one:
1497.toastmastersclubs.org/L1497_Latest_News.html
but the "Save" button, seems not to do anything. I can close the editor but the changes are not saved even after confirming "Do you want to save ...".

We're using our website as our marketing tool and it has been very effective in attracting new members. It's able to present the club culture to the public, and also serves as our news portal to keep the members informed and engaged.

Gratefully,
Cori Ortega, VPPR || Website Admin

Oops I changed this to "Support Request" but forgot to do it again when it got closed accidentally. Will see if I can change the category after submitting.

You have style and scripts that are interfering with the site. Please read "The terms of use"
support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/terms-of-use-agreement

You will have to fix yourself all we will do is clear the page if you want us to.

Brian,
Thanks for your investigating.

I've started using CSS since maybe April or May to enhance the look of our pages. ( I didn't use javascripts.) The pages got too unmanageable for me to maintain with "style" tags all over the HTML tags. The CSS is the only way for me to separate the HTML from the styles. Been editing this page for months without any problem, last time I edited was yesterday or Saturday, no issues at all. Today I was just trying to correct two lines of text, no error message, but it doesn't allow any change.

Does this mean that pages with CSS now cannot be changed unless the CSS are removed? The irony is I just finished standardizing and separating the styles from HTMLs few days ago, spent perhaps 12 hours on 5 pages. ;-( Oh no!!!

This means you have to make sure all your naming is unique and does not interfere with any of the system templates, NO DEFAULTS !

If you are inserting style blocks in your content, the big issue is that the style blocks affect everything in the HTML pages in which they occur, not just the html elements below the style block and not just the elements at the same "level" or below of the style block.

Thus, you may think that the browser will only apply CSS from a style block in your content, but that is just not true.

There used to be a "scoped" attribute for style blocks that would limit their scope of application, but that attribute is no longer guaranteed to be supported in HTML. (it is deprecated)

Bottom Line: If you are determined to use style blocks in your content, you *must* take care to use class names and identifiers that do not clash with the system template. One way to do this is to come up with a prefix that you apply consistently to your class names and identifiers. (e.g. your web site alias or your club number followed by a hyphen and used as a prefix)

Thank you Brian for the work around. I do need to keep the CSS styles because our pages have become unwieldy. I've created more than 10 custom pages in there, and the pages are quite long with some complex objects. Yes, I will rename the CSS identifiers and use prefixes.

Again, Admins, thank you for FTH, and thank you for the user support!.

Steve, thank you for the work around. I do need to keep the CSS styles because our pages have become unwieldy. I thought I could "bound" the scope of my identifiers but apparently I'm wrong. Yes, I will rename the CSS identifiers and use prefixes. I'm not really a front-end developer, more on backend so I taught myself HTML and CSS so I can publish interesting things going on with our club.

Again, Admins, thank you for FTH, and thank you for the user support!.

Gratefully,
Cori Ortega
