What You’ll Learn

  • How to view the CSS of live webpages
  • How to understand the CSS in Page Builder modules

Inspecting CSS

You can see the HTML and CSS of any webpage by using Inspector Tools in your browser (we recommend Chrome).

In Chrome, you can do one of the following to open Developer Tools:

  • Right click any element on the page & select ‘Inspect’
  • In the Chrome menu, select View > Developer > Developer Tools
  • Command+Option+I (Mac) or Control+Shift+I (PC)

The CSS will show under the Styles section.

Looking at just the Text Block with Buttons Module on our Restaurant Page Builder page, here’s the CSS styling the button that we can derive from inspecting.

HTML

<a class=" btn primary-cta btn-primary btn-lg lp-param lp-param-cta1ButtonUrl lp-param-cta1ButtonText" href="#" role="button " onclick="Yext.analyticsEvent('calltoactionclick')">
    Order Now
</a>

CSS

.btn-lg, .btn-group-lg > .btn {
    padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
    font-size: 1.17188rem;
    line-height: 1.5;
    border-radius: 0;
}

.btn-primary {
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #c81500;
    border-color: #c81500;
}

.btn {
    display: inline-block;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-family: "Segoe UI", "Source Sans Pro", Calibri, Candara, Arial, sans-serif;
    text-align: center;
    white-space: nowrap;
    vertical-align: middle;
    user-select: none;
    border: 1px solid transparent;
    transition: color 0.15s ease-in-out, background-color 0.15s ease-in-out, border-color 0.15s ease-in-out, box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out;
}

a {
    text-decoration: none;
}
