Style Builder Problem - Create Local Copy Loses Many Properties

[spacetanker]

In my infinite free time after work this evening I wanted to settle in to touching up the style for the web component in my initial page (index.a5w). Over lunch I watched all of the V11 Web Component Style Builder videos, so I was confident that in an hour I could create a copy of the GrGray style locally, named 2XCRGrGray, and touch up the horizontal navigation menu buttons so they are more aethetically pleasing.

Well, 90 minutes later and I am not even off the block. As it seems is so often the case I spent the majority of the time trying to figure out why Alpha Five (A5) behaved in an unexpected way. Sometimes it is my fault (simply newbie errors) and I learn from them. This one is beyond my understanding, however.

Following the videos precisely (and within my project, incidentally) when I create a local copy of the GrGray style many of the properties associated with it are missing from the preview. This behavior is repeated each time I attempt the copy process and it does not show correctly in IE9 or FF.

Just out of curiousity I closed the project and created a new database and repeated the process and lo and behold the properties were all there.

So...why would there be a problem creating a local copy of an existing style sheet with all its associated properties within my project? Does the fact that I created a style sheet for the page wen I initially developed it in Dreamweaver play a part in this issue?

You can see my page at www.2xcr.com, with its horribly formatted navigaton bar. I will post my CSS code below.

Thank you for your help.

Re: Style Builder Problem - Create Local Copy Loses Many Properties

To anyone else who encounters this issue, be advised that I solved this problem by not using a number for the firt character of my style name. Apparently A5 doesn't like this, because produced the same results when I repeated the experiment in a new database with the style named"2xcr". Renaming it "_2xcr" did not produce the problem.
