Validate Stylesheets opens with ADE

Moonraker · 11-05-2012, 09:47 AM

Sigil v 0.6.0, Windows 7 64 bit.

This used to work for me but now when I select Validate Stylesheets with WC3 Adobe Digital Editions opens instead of the WC3 browser page.

I seem to remember this started when I did an html spell-check with Word and all the icons then changed inside Sigil's Book Browser to Word icons after I saved the html file. I don't use Word for my html code and only use it to check for spelling and scanning errors.

I have uninstalled Sigil and reinstalled it again and the Book Browser icons are normal again but ADE still opens when I want to do a .CSS check.

@moonraker - you must have changed your default file association for ".html" extension files. Change that back to being your web browser instead of ADE.

Duh. I was trying to change the file association for .css I just didn't think of .html

Thank you so much. All is working now.

Glad you are sorted. In case anyone else is confused as to "why .html?" - when you use the "Validate with W3C" feature, Sigil creates a temporary .html file with all the necessary data for submitting to the W3C website (the css data is embedded within it, along with some javascript to submit the data after a few seconds delay). It then "opens" that .html file, expecting that .html files will be associated with your web browser in which case it should all work as expected.
