[Building Sakai] [DG: User Experience] CSS weirdness

[Plourde, Mathieu]

You know what Stephen, I think you're right. It seems like it's my Diigo toolbar that is adding these styles to show the web annotations other Diigo users have left everywhere. I should have thought of it myself.

Thanks for the tip!

It is indeed a weirdness but I don't think it's a Sakai weirdness (at least not in our deployment).

Maybe you have some local customizations or a browser add-on is inserting these?

Cheers

Hi y'all!

Is there a reason why there are embedded styles in Sakai pages? For instance:

em.diigoHighlight.a {
                background-color: #FF9;
}
em.diigoHighlight.a.mouseOvered {
                background-color: #ffc62a !important;
}

... are embedded in all page heads.

Why aren't those styles in "portal.css" or in any other central cascading style sheet anyway? Are they even useful at all? They seem to come from a Diigo style sheet of some nature.
