  • I have a html element with lots of sub containers and classes. When I run it in C3 everything works fine apart from the bottom most (parent) container does not display. In my case this should display just a bright green background with a 20 pixel border.

    All of the child classes display perfectly (buttons, text etc) but for for some reason the background container is nowhere to be seen.

    When I run it as a html preview in the browser the background is visible but when I run via construct 3 it is not visible.

    I tried using a wrapper class around everything as described in the docs but this had no effect. Does anyone know what could be going on?

    Thanks

  • On export my html reads: 

    <body class="body-1">

    and the style is... 

    body.body-1 {
 position: static;
 display: block;
..etc
}

    But if I change these to the following it works fine. 

    <div class="body-1">

    and the style to: 

    div.body-1 {
 position: static;
 display: block;
..etc
}

    Can anyone explain why and is there a better way to get around this rather than having to change the body tags to div tags every time I export? Thanks

  • Why are you trying to use <body> tags? In HTML a document should only have one body tag, which contains everything in the entire document. You should be using a different tag like <div> anyway.

  • Im actually using an external tool to visually create the css and html. Its perfect for complex html interfaces all but for this little issue that it uses a body tag.

    In an attempt to fix the issue Im trying to automatically rename the tag in C3 at runtime. I can do this fine for the html using the 'set html content' action but there doesn't seem to be a way to edit the .css file via script.

    Is there some javascript that can replace the css class 'body' with a class 'div'?

    Cheers
