Fields on the Folder Properties Screen

Field	Description
Foldername	Edit the name of the content folder. Note: You cannot change the root folder name.
Description	Edit the description of the content folder.
Style Sheet filename for this folder: (leave blank to inherit)	Specify a style sheet that defines styles that may be applied to content in this folder. The style sheet that you identify must reside in the site root folder. Or, leave this field blank to inherit the parent folder’s style sheet. The style sheet populates the style dropdown list (see below) within the editor. Note: This style sheet affects content being edited. It does not necessarily affect the content’s appearance on your Web site. To set or edit the style sheet that determines your Web pages’ appearance, open the page’s Web form and place a <link rel=”stylesheet”... tag within its <HEAD> tags. If desired, you can identify the same style sheet in both locations. To include user-selectable styles, they must be generic classes. Caption and Visible Properties eWebEdit400 ignores the CSS custom properties caption and visible. To address this problem for the Internet Explorer browser, replace them with the custom CSS properties localeRef, caption and visible. For other browsers, use the custom CSS selectors localeRef and unselectable (same as visible: false). To achieve cross-browser compatibility, use both approaches. Note: Non-IE browsers have no equivalent for caption.
Page Templates	Lets you specify one or more templates for content in this folder. This folder’s content uses the specified template when appearing on your Web site. See Also: Inheritance of Folder Templates
