Styling the editing area

Hi there,

I'm having trouble changing the styles of the actual editing area of FCKeditor. The content being edited has styling that I need to see, but it's not showing at the moment.

I've tried adding CSS definitions to fck_editor.css in my custom skin folder (which is under a separate directory from the site root), and the skin is being applied so that seems ok, but nothing I put into fck_editor.css is being applied to the editing area.

I've also tried editing FCKeditor/editor/css/fck_editorarea.css, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. (To test, I'm just trying to make the editor background area red first.)

I am wondering if there is a refresh issue too... yesterday I couldn't change the default font style of the editor area, yet today it's changed. Should I need to restart the browser/computer to see changes?

I've also searched the forum archives here but so far haven't found the solution... any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Karen
