It's not for everyone. Like I commented above, if you wanted to make a special announcement, say at top of a Group - - you could enter the text, wrap it in the <div class="errordesc">your special group announcement</div>, and it would look like this:

 

your special group announcement

All you're doing is styling text, and adding a border and background color, by using Ning's built-in CSS style. Otherwise you could create your own class and apply to a div, paragraph, etc...

Basic CSS Styling Lesson:

Let's say you wanted to add special content to a special box, that has a thick dark blue border with a light blue background, to several paragraphs across your site - - here's what you could do to save time:

• Add the following line of code to your Advanced CSS - - we are creating a class called mybluebox.
• .mybluebox { background-color:#99D0E7; border: 5px solid #003366; padding:10px; }
• I will add the class to my Advanced CSS right now, and not take the chance of the CSS working in a comment. So, I can show you the live example below.
• Add your newly created class to a paragraph or DIV, or just about any HTML tag. You could add to a text box, a new page, a Group Text Box, etc...:

<div class="mybluebox">This is my first basic CSS style. It's a class. I named it mybluebox. I must add a period before the name in my CSS. I must use class="mybluebox" when I apply this style to a paragraph, a DIV, or other HTML tags.</div>

Example Below:

This is my first basic CSS style. It's a class. I named it mybluebox. I must add a period before the name in my CSS. I must use class="mybluebox" when I apply this style to a paragraph, a DIV, or other HTML tags.

There's also a blue one.

Very cool! And simple to use.

 

<div class="dy-ning-msg"><p>Your Text Here.</p></div>

 

---------------------------

One caveat: It sometimes requires a page re-load (in Chrome) for the div to display.

On our network (a Design Studio theme mod) it comes up with its icon.

Maybe I'm missing something.

But it's not a big deal as we'll be using these boxes for warnings and support comments, so the icons fit.
