greets,

still playing with the Trial...

i noticed that a javascript folder is created when exporting a project with 3 js files in it:
boxsizing.htc, html5shiv.js and respond.min.js.

just wondering what those do and if they are really necessary.
i noticed that the HTML file exported as a test makes no mention of them, so i guess they're not really needed...

also, i noticed that 3 CSS files are exported:
css/coffeegrinder.min.css
css/wireframe-theme.min.css
css/main.css

curiously, the main.css file is empty...
why 3 CSS files anyway?

This is not a full qualified answer, but my guess is that the three css files come in for different reasons, depending on what kind of transformations and editing you do with your layout.

From what I understand about these css files is they have sorted them into three(actually five) different files for ease of use for us. The coffeegrinder css is full of different classes to add styling to your website. The Wireframe css deals strictly with the layout. And the Main.css is nicely orginaized to deal with the customization of all the elements.

There are 2 for coffeegrinder and 2 for wireframe-theme, one is compressed and one isn't also for your connivance.

That being said I would create a 6th css file called custom.css or whatever you want to call it. Make your css modifications in there. That way if you want to go back to the layout maker and tweak your layout you can just re-export it to a different location then grab the css files it spits out and replace them with the ones in your folder. This will allow you to change the styling without over-writing your content.

I think Adam had a post with how to do this, maybe he will chime in here and repost.

I hope this makes sense.

If you want your responsive site to work as it should and display consistently across browsers, leave these in place:
boxsizing.htc, html5shiv.js and respond.min.js.

Is there any way to manually amend a css file built by webform builder which is to be uploaded automatically to the Sdrive?

Hi George,
No, but you can use some css overrides on your form by placing them in a html element. You can also do some cool things with JQuery.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
