Style Sheets in Account Setup

Account Setup uses JavaScript Style Sheets to control some aspects of the display of text in its screens. The primary reason for using JavaScript Style Sheets is to ensure a uniform appearance and layout across all of the Windows and Macintosh platforms in the defined space of the Account Setup window. Style sheets also enable you to make global changes to fonts, positioning, and many other text attributes from a central file.

However, because the style sheets are signed, you can only change the styles if you are planning to re-sign the Account Setup files. Refer to Style Sheets in Account Setup for more information.

Turning Off Style Sheets

If you don't want to use the style sheets referenced by Account Setup, you can turn off the style sheets by removing the `<LINK></LINK>` tag from the `HEAD` element of the files. You can then define fonts locally or use default HTML formatting for the files.

Style Sheets and JavaScript Signing

All of the screens of Account Setup are signed with Netscape's certificate, for security.

If you make changes to the style sheets, you must then re-sign the Account Setup files with your own signing certificate. For more information on how to re-sign the Account Setup files, refer to the Signing the Account Setup Files section of the Mission Control Guide.
