We are interested in changing the look and feel of the on demand paging controls. We found where to replace the images on the server and that is completed, now we want to know where to change the background color for the HTML.
If we view source, we see where it is set, but I want to find the source file for this HTML on the server to make the change if that's even possible.
The colour is probably controlled by a cascading stylesheet. Look for the .css files in the same (or sub) directory as you found the HTML. Be aware that if you change the .css it might affect other backrounds as well.

Paul is correct regarding the css file and it can be found in ibi\WebFOCUS71\ibi_html\viewer\minion.css.
A word of warning, as usual, make a backup of the original and remember that an upgrade will probably overwrite your work so keep a copy together in another folder with all the other customisations you make. I usually keep a document in the custom folder detailing where and how the customisations should be made.

I just checked a customized application that I made a while ago. I applied my own .css to the focexecs. To point to the .css , add to the top of the fex :
SET CSSURL = '/approot/myapp/mycss.css'
And before the END statement:
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
In this case you need to make a .css called mycss.css in yout application (myapp) directory.
This also works fine with OLAP reports and with WEBVIEWER reports.

The apps directory on a local or same machine install, just happens to be the apps directory on the web server and therefore Paul's suggestion will work.
However, to be absolutely sure that you have the css (and javascript modules etc.) file(s) in the correct directory you should add them to the directories under Web Applications and not under EDASERVE in the Data Servers path.

well, we tried chaning the minion.css file and realized later that it isn't even referenced by the ODP control form...
We have tried changing the colors in the HTML, but it is getting overwritten. So, I ask again if anyone knows where the HTML for ODP actually gets generated and can we modify the source to change that resulting HTML?
