I tried looking up a decent guide on the advanced stylesheet and came up short other than the occasional "someone else has the same problem that I do" but I would like to try and also understand what I am actually doing rather than just ripping code.
Is there a good guide to css/ia scripting like a reference guide to things like popups, title bars, etc in ignition? Thank you
Kind of the whole point of the advanced stylesheet is that it's an escape hatch for people who already know what to do with it. You're going to have a better time within the guardrails of style classes, in general - it's possible to do stuff in the stylesheet that messes up your views significantly.
That said, your best resources are going to be general purpose "learn CSS" tutorials/books/whatever, and your browser's dev tools to show you how Perspective's components are actually rendered.

I don't know of a guide other than the manual and there are also some elective studies in the university surrounding the advanced stylesheet and CSS. Utilize the external debugger in the designer and/or your browser developer tools to find names of components and such. Also you can utilize the stylesheets that are included in the install of Ignition as reference to see CSS information to get you some information on popups and other such information when it comes to their naming.

While you're probably not wrong, there are some things that can't be done without using it like in this forum post here. Unless of course, I am the one who is wrong, which is likely lol, to do things like change the font/size/color of title bars in popups.
Thank you, I will check this out
