How can I edit the CSS on an Access Custom Web App hosted on Sharepoint Online?

Question

I want to hide the filter-box div on a List View in an Access 2013 Custom Web App, but do not know how I can get to the css files on the server.

I can't seem to find them on Sharepoint Designer, and am wondering if they are within Azure? Could I access my Azure server hosted by Microsoft with a certain tool? Visual Studio, perhaps?

Answer 1

I am assuming your SharePoint Online instance is through Office365. Regardless, best practice is to override the CSS styles that SharePoint has, rather than changing them. The easiest way to do this is through the browser by just adding a Content Editor Webpart(CEWP) to the same page and then add your overriding css styles to that webpart. Then make the CEWP hidden so it just runs behind the scenes.

I don't know if this applies to SP online, but on premises you can turn on publishing for the site and use an alternate CSS to apply styles to you Access Web APP. I've got a blog on it here: Apply styles to access web application
