[IUG] Re: Request rule error message

[kathy dot koch at GM dot com]

Since no one replied to my original question I can only assume that either
I'm the only critter who's run into the problem of  manipulating the size
of the font that is displayed with the error message on the
request_result.html page or else no one had a solution...

But I'm happy to report for future reference (for the archives) that
Innovative was able to figure out if I put the class designation within
"div" markers it will work.  Using it without <div> had no effect.

For example:

...snip from request_result.html >

      <!--{iferror}-->
      <div class="reqMsg">
      <font color=blue size=2>
      <!--{errormsg}-->
      <!--{else}-->
      This item will be delivered to you when it is available.
      </font>
      <!--{xif}-->
      </div>

...and then snip from stylesheet >

      .reqMsg font { font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      font-size: x-small; }

[As a side note, the reason I have the font color in the html versus the
css is that I wanted to have the color of the book title in blue while
retaining the default "red" of the error message -- if I put the font color
in the class then it affects both.  And the reason the font-size is x-small
in the stylesheet, is that the code is still doing a +2 but this then lets
it double the x-small size which brings it to normal.  Whew.  Now I just
need to remember to monitor this with each upgrade as I'm sure at some
point innovative will decide that doing a +2 on this error message is not
particularly user friendly. One can only hope anyway.]
