Hi Joe,

First I'm not sure why you're using the default built-in HTML editor, I use Webuilder 2020, I do my edits in Webuilder 2020, then copy and paste into the code window. I couldn't be happier.

Anything that you do in the HTML built-in editor is going to be confined to the body tag area of the bigger page, I seriously doubt the built-in editor takes into account the bigger picture, which can include external CSS formatting when all is said and done.

I also seriously doubt that you can insert stylesheets using the built-in HTML editor for the simple reason it will not be able to place it inside the header tags. The contents of the HTML editor will be inserted between the body tags.

I think what you are experiencing is quite normal.

--------- for those who want a more detailed technical explanation -------------

Another way to look at this is that the built-in HTML editor is probably using the browser built-in CSS.

Going back to CSS basics, in order of importance's:

1. Arthur CSS
2. User CSS
3. Browser CSS

Since no one barely ever uses a User CSS anymore, the contents that you type into the HTML editor, unless the HTML editor itself is programmed otherwise, is using the built-in CSS from the browser, which means what you do in Firefox may display differently in Chrome as you type.

Once the main page is loaded, the Arthur CSS prevails, that your CSS, regardless if it's internal, external or inline.
