Since cfwindow uses a type of "reset" css all the main tags padding,
margins, padding, borders etc  have been reset to 0, and the
default inheritance tree from the browsers defaults have been reset to 0 and
none etc...

This is to maintain the same look cross platform, but it also poses issues
of its own when trying to use what you are used to.


I'd like to find a way to restate that the cfwindow code  (on the page I
> invoke in the window) should use my main CSS style sheet in its entirety



 You best bet is to open up the page in Firebug and determine what classes
you need to modify and re-define those before the display of the cfwindow.

If you redefine any of the classes or defaults inline before your cfwindow
call, the cfwindow will use those classes instead of the default.

f you need it to use your main site css, you may need to dig around and look
for the css that the cfwindow uses by default, then modify that direct, but
I would try the former approach first.

The "reset css" approach is becoming a standard way of setting up the base
to apply css rules to, it does help the cross platform issues quite a bit,
it is not magic, but it is a good way to deal with those padding/border
issues.

Hope that helps.
