    Hi Roland … THANK YOU again for all the help so far and for the creation of this brilliant plugin.

    For link fields we have added the following attribute:
    # onMouseOver=this.style.color=’red’ onMouseOut=this.style.color=’blue’ style=color:blue;text-decoration:underline; target::_blank

    This works perfectly so that links on the Single Page looks and behalves like a link and when clicked opens on a new tab.

    However, when we add the HTML: style=color:blue;
    To the attribute of a Text-Line field form element — on the Edit-Record page it appears in blue, but is NOT styled on the Single Page view.

    What are we doing wrong?

    Let me know.
    Thanks.

    Not doing anything wrong, the “attributes” setting of the field is for forms presentation, so isn’t consistently applied in a read context such as in a single record display. It is also not designed for “style” attributes.

    In general, even though you can use attributes to style individual elements it’s much better to use custom CSS rules for that sort of thing. Doing it that way gives you a lot more flexibility, easier to achieve consistency and is a lot easier to debug and maintain because all your rules are going to be in the same place.

    Thank you Roland …. and who said:
