Use this sample HTML and run it. If you change color property of some div in Rule Editor, you have to save the file to see changes <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .a{ color: gray; } .b{ color: blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="a"> AAA </div> <div class="b"> BBB </div> </body> </html> Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 Beta (Build 201209232010) Java: 1.7.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.3-b01 System: Linux version 3.2.0-30-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Thinking about it, it is P4 if any. It makes sense that html file has to be saved since embedded style is a part of the page. I guess that trying to "fix" this would force user to save HTML file although he might not want it. Please feel free to close it
This can work the same way as modifications of non-embedded stylesheets work, i.e., without saving, but it would require some infrastructure changes. I am changing this issue to enhancement because the current behaviour is as designed for the current release.
