Created attachment 123773 [details] Project that reproduces the problem 1. Unzip and open the attached projects (Java webapp and HTML5 app) 2. Run the Java project on GlassFish 3. Run the HTML5 application - table with results obtained from web service will be displayed 4. Turn on select mode in browser and select some cell in the table => CSS Styles window is populated, but the Rule Editor continues to say <No Properties> At the end this is understandable, because the CSS we are inspecting is a remote file (btw there is a related bug 217664), but this should be signaled to the user in a better way. Currently it is not apparent why the rule editor does not display any properties. One possible way to fix it would be to display a read-only view of the properties, but there would still need to be some indication explaining the user why they are read-only.
Assuming we have the "css live update" I believe the RE can still "work" w/o saving the changes - just modifying the DOM. OTOH this doesn't make much sense if the file is truly "remote" and has no local counterpart.
I can't reproduce it as the styles view remains empty for the newhtml.html regardless what I try to select/inspect.
(In reply to comment #2) > I can't reproduce it as the styles view remains empty for the newhtml.html > regardless what I try to select/inspect. The problem is that the attached newHtml/html file is using http://mottie.github.com/tablesorter/css/blue/style.css stylesheet that is no longer available. It seems that the current location of the stylesheet is http://mottie.github.com/tablesorter/css/theme.blue.css Moreover, it seems that the original stylesheet was based on 'tablesorter' class while the new one is based on 'tablesorter-blue' class. Hence, you have to update the class of the <table> element for the style to be applied. > One possible way to fix it would be to display > a read-only view of the properties The page inspection has access to the text of the stylesheet no matter where it comes from. Hence, it would be possible to save a local read-only copy of the remote stylesheet and let the CSS infrastructure (including the Rule Editor) work with this file.
Implemented: * remote stylesheets are downloaded and represented by read-only FileObjects by now * Rule Editor is no longer empty for rules from remote stylesheets * Go To Source actions for Properties and Rules from remote stylesheets open a read-only copy of a downloaded stylesheet * links in Applied Styles section of CSS Styles view open a read-only copy of a downloaded stylesheet (for remote stylesheets) Modified files: http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/af1e87137566 http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/e18b01e6ce1b http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/1058447af7d7
