Yes I do get a the "More Page Templates" but there is no "styles" template tab. I am trying to follow the MS tutorial instructions. As Curious Monkey noted it will probably work by saving the file as a .css but this defeats the purpose of the tutorial. Terry (in reply to curious monkey)

That could be why they are not showing for you, but you can create a stylesheet in notepad, or other css editor and bring it into FP by importing it, this is how I do it. To apply that css to a page/site then, quote: Linking a Style Sheet to a Page In Page view, open the page that you want to link to the style sheet. 1. On the Format menu, click Style Sheet Links. 2. In the URL list, select the style sheets that you want to link to the page. 3. Click OK. 4. If you look at the code in HTML view, it will look like this: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sitestyle.css"> Tips * If the URL list does not contain any style sheets, click Add. In the Select Style Sheet dialog box, browse to the style sheet that you want to add to the list and then click OK.

jedstump Posts: 22 Joined: 7/30/2005 Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/5/2006 14:47:13 Hello caz Okay. I will try that. I don't ever do a custom install but it looks like for some reason it is not showing. Thanks for the help. Terry (in reply to caz)


jedstump Posts: 22 Joined: 7/30/2005 Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/10/2006 0:24:47 Hello caz This doesn't seem to be working. I have created a style sheet in notepad, imported it into the _private directory of my website. When I go to format the option "style sheet links" is not darkened so I can not select it.

caz Posts: 3517 Joined: 10/10/2001 From: Somewhere south of Chester, UK Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/10/2006 4:52:41 Why did you put it in the _private directory? You should just save it in the normal website list, don't put it in any directory for the time being and then have a look in Format>Style Sheet Links> you should find it there. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

jedstump Posts: 22 Joined: 7/30/2005 Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/10/2006 14:05:36 Hello caz I have imported my .css file into the root directory. The Format>Style Sheet Links> is there but is greyed out still. Could you please take a look at my source code at http://www.trailerhitchesonline.com/ The text in the .css file is H1 {font-size: 24pt; font-style: bold; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;} Terry (in reply to caz)


caz Posts: 3517 Joined: 10/10/2001 From: Somewhere south of Chester, UK Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/10/2006 16:27:06 Your style sheet shows up un the html code as <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="textA.css"> and using the Firefox browser I can edit the css and it will work, so it's working . You must have done something right. . I think that you should just go back to the reference that I gave you above and read it; you could also do a Detect and Repair on Frontpage, maybe that will do the trick for you. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

jedstump Posts: 22 Joined: 7/30/2005 Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/10/2006 18:08:19 Hello caz I will read the info in the link you gave me but I notice that using my browser IE 6 I am not seeing any changes to the H1 font. Also in the sourc code I also see the Times New Roman associated with the H1 tag. Isn't that all suppose to be cleaned up? Terry (in reply to caz)


caz Posts: 3517 Joined: 10/10/2001 From: Somewhere south of Chester, UK Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/11/2006 12:55:28 As you seem to have applied the style sheet now you are seeing just how FP doesn't write valid code - they promise us that the next generation html editor MS Expressions Web Designer will write valid code. In order for you to wite valid code and take advantage of CSS you have to use the code view in FP and not the Design View. You also need to have a relevant DOCTYPE to tell browsers how to render your pages. From this page you can get the all important low down on successfully working with DOCTYPES in Frontpage 2003, 2002 and 2000. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odc_2003_ta/html/odc_landfrontpage03_ta.asp I would also suggest that if you haven't already then download the Firefox browser and add the Web Developer extension. You will then be able to see what your work looks like in a standards compliant browser and have a load of tools to help you write valid code as well as validating the code as you go along. When I looked at your page in Firefox there were a number of errors caused by MS proprietry code plus you have a sitemap thingie from Google that is also interferring. You will have to read all the links that I gave you if you want to use css because the existing code that you have is overiding a lot of your style sheet statements. You have a lot of learning to do if you want to follow this road because there is no quick fix - except hiring someone else to do it for you. < Message edited by caz -- 6/11/2006 16:36:01 > _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

jedstump Posts: 22 Joined: 7/30/2005 Status: offline	RE: No style sheet tab - 6/11/2006 18:29:36 Hello caz I see what you mean. Up until now I have put this site together with the very basic of knowledge which FP allows. Once you start adding other elements you have to conform better. It looks like cleaning up my web site or doing a total re-write is needed. Thanks for the help. Terry (in reply to caz)
