CSS Selector (Style Panel) - Post ID...

I have two questions:

1st Question:

When dropping any element on canvas, site designer adds it's own class name. For example in case of 'button' element it adds class name "a.link-button".

Now if i give my own class name ".btn", then it should be "a.btn", not "a.link-button.btn".

My question is how can we remove ".link-button" class so that it becomes "a.btn" ?

2nd Question:

One element can have multiple classes. My question is how to add them in site designer?

For example like this <button class="btn btn-primary btn-nav"></button>

site designer creates CSS wrongly. see 2nd screenshot.

In the 'Your Styles Panel CSS' section of the Inspector panel, the screen-shot 2.png shows the CSS used in the main.css file created by Site Designer, and it is indeed different from what one might expect if one were simply using an HTML editor to create a web page. The fact that it is different doesn't make it wrong, as can be checked by using validator services such as https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and https://validator.w3.org/nu/ on an exported SD project.

The bit that SD adds to the class name is simply part of how SD is designed to work, identifying what type of element one is using. It helps one to create a web page with correct code quickly and easily. It should not be interfered with by trying to remove the extra part of the CSS selector.

For those who don't code, it doesn't matter in the least. For those who do code, it can sometimes be important to be aware of the extra bit added to the class name. For example, if one uses document.querySelector in a bit of JavaScript in an SD project file, it will not work unless one references the full class name as shown in the 'Your Styles Panel CSS' section of the Inspector panel.

The matter can seem a bit of a nuisance on occasions, such as when one accidentally chooses an element that is not the one that is best for the job. If one chose a button-link element when a button element would have been better, the cleanest remedy is to remove the button-link element and replace it with a button element. Changing the button-link element by changing the cursor setting and ensuring that the href does nothing (e.g. using #!) is messy.

Site designer needs a lot of improvements.

I have one more question and I know it's not related to the post.

I purchased it 2 months ago. Can I get a refund for it?

Just because you can't figure out how to use it doesn't mean it needs improving, perhaps you need to learn how to use it. to answer your question no you can't get a refund after this amount of time.
