The Cascading Style Sheet

A Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) determines the appearance of Registration Services pages. The CSS contains style definitions for elements, such as fonts and color, in an HTML or JSP page. A CSS is used to maintain a consistent format appearance across multiple pages that reference the same CSS. A change in the CSS is reflected in all of the pages.

The Cascading Style Sheet defines the following elements:

Style Name

Description

Background color

.lightBackground

The predominant color of the Registration Services screens. The color is expressed in the CSS as a hexidecimal code.

Border color

.darkBackground

The border color in the Registration Services screens. This color is expressed in the CSS as a hexidecimal code.

Field name

.Field Text

Used for field names on collector and submitter pages, such as user_data_collector.jsp. Also used for the welcome message on the Registration Space Selector Page.
