When a Notes document is opened or read in a web browser, Domino automatically translates all font names, colors, sizes, etc. used in a Rich Text Field. So, if a Rich Text Field contains text that uses Arial font, Domino serves the following to the user's browser:

<font face="Arial">On February 5, 2006 Detroit will host Super Bowl XL. A number of events are planned leading up to the game starting the week of January 30 that will bring visitors from around Michigan and from out of state to Southeastern Michigan. Branches are asked to carefully consider appropriate cash levels to accommodate increased demand on branch serviced ATMs or bankcard cash advances. If your branch is in the downtown Detroit area or near local hotels or transportation centers, please take this demand into consideration when placing cash orders during the weeks of January 23 & 30.</font>

I tried adding the typical stylesheets to over ride the font tag served by Domino, like applying a font-family to the </body>, <p> and <td> tags. Didn't work. I even looked through the series of articles Scott Good wrote for the Lotus Advisor a while back. Nothing in there, either.

Then it hit me: I just need to override the <font> tag. No problem.

Overwriting the font tag is a nice prank you can play with web designer that haven't upgraded to CSS. Overwrite it with different sub selectors (in FF even attributes would work) and let them figure out what happend...

Just put the following code in OnLoad section of your form and you CSS will work:

var oFONTs = document.getElementsByTagName('Font');
var oTmp;
if(oFONTs) {
for(var i=0;i<oFONTs.length;i++) {
var oTmp = oFONTs;
oTmp.removeAttribute("size");
}
};
