CSS Problem Publishing - 10/30/2003 0:26:59   
I created a simple CSS and published it to the main directory in my site. But when I open a page in FP and go to "style sheet links", and select the sheet to link with all my pages, it does not recognize that the page has "changed" so when I go to publish, it will not publish any of my pages (without me manually selecting them all). I look in each page's html view and I do see the CSS link in the header. But why won't frontpage recognize that they have been changed and publish all the pages again, overwriting those on the server?

Try publishing all pages, rather than just changed pages.

It'll take longer, but should replace everything.

Or, if you're using FP 2K2 or 2K3, try changing the method of FP's publishing madness... instead of using timestamp, try clicking compare source and destination... or vice versa.

Yep, I tried changing the option and that did not work. I do know that publishing all pages should work, I was trying to find out why this way doesn't. Is it normal behavoir? Say I open up a page, and then link a style sheet to it, and close that page, FP does not prompt to save because it does not think that anything has changed. That's what baffles me. Or maybe that is just how CSS works??

Another victim of Frontpage's very poor style sheet linking :) it is important to realise that FP's stylæesheet linker only works properly when:

1. There is no "R" in the month.
2. Your zodiac sign is in harmony with sagittarius.
3. It isn't washing its hair that day.

if like me you like your software to work you can go here:

And get their free style sheet linker - which is a lot more robust and actually works .............

It is worth checking the other freebies there also

Now that worked! It went thru and linked all my pages, saved them, and then FP published them! I wonder why FP can't do that????

I do not know - it is a well known problem - and it is not as if it is all that difficult to fix. Oh well ..........:)
