Use JavaScript to embed CSS text styling into Text Area in Spotfire Desktop

[Thomas Hren]

I am trying to use some of the recent Dr Spotfire tips and tricks for formatting text areas using CSS. I have created an embedded JavaScript variable that contains CSS styling for HTML tags such as through , , and . This works well inside my HTML, as any changes in the CSS through the JavaScript changes throughout the text area.

Can anyone help me with the necessary CSS code structure for an embedded JavaScript variable
