hallo the people,

Does anyone knows how to avoid my portal loading the deafult.css styles?

thanks for suggestions

You could delete everything in it and leave it that way ...

I tought about this option, but I have many portals in my DNN install and they might would be affected.

They definitely would be affected.

Why do you not want to load default.css? If you don't want the styles in a particular portal, you can override all of them with skin.css.

I have made a container for text-html module, with it I also load a css file. In this css file I define the font-size in percentage, in order to allow the user to change the browser settings regarding text size. The problem is that it doesn't work: the text doesn't resize.

I think that probably this is due to some interference from the default.css, where font size is defined as fix.

The problem is online at : www.glanzmann.ch/next . The text in main content area won't resize if you tell to your browser to do so...

 

You want to focus on the skin.css file for your portal.

Lee has created quite a number of tutorials that deal with skinning and associated issues.  I believe that How to create a pure CSS skin is the tutorial that goes into great detail with regard to scalable font sizes.

Hello davico,
I have found it useful to import a css file into my skin that negates the style settings in default.css. First, copy all of default.css and follow the example below.
Put this code into a file called "dnn_default_overrides.css":

.Head {
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    color: inherit;
}

and in "skin.css" put this line at the top:

@import url(dnn_default_overrides.css);

I hope this is helpful for you!

Also, in the code in these tutorials you will see the section of code I use in the skin.css to reset the default.css file which will enable you to style your elements without worrying about the default.css
