Symptom: The report is not using any of the cascading style sheet's formatting.
Solution 1: Check to be sure that your browser supports cascading style sheets; if it does not, install an appropriate browser version.
Solution 2: Reset the browser to accept a document's cascading style sheet. For instructions about checking or changing a browser's setting, see your browser's help.
Symptom: The report reflects some, but not all, of the CSS formatting.
Solution 1: Upgrade your browser to a version that supports all the CSS features used to format the report, or edit the cascading style sheet to remove features that are unsupported by some of the browsers that are used to display the report.
Solution 2: Reset your browser to accept the cascading style sheet for each document, or edit the rules in the two cascading style sheets so that they no longer conflict.
Solution 3: Remove the unsupported property, or upgrade your browser to a version that supports the property.
If a class has not yet been assigned to a report cell, and you specify conditional formatting for it, only the first class whose condition is satisfied by that row is assigned to the cell. The others are ignored.
Solution 4: Do not assign more than one CSS class to each report component. If you need to apply multiple attributes, bundle them into a single class.
Solution 5: Specify the formatting of a report in a rule for a different element (for example, if the browser does not correctly implement inheritance from BODY, use a rule for TD), or else upgrade your browser to a version that correctly supports inheritance.
Solution 6: The solution depends on the kind of formatting conflict. In the example above, the solution is to generate an internal cascading style sheet.
