style sheets & includes - 6/27/2002 19:11:02   
First time I' m using a style sheet. I have it working in the index.htm page but can' t get it to work with include pages.

<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=name.css.>

The above was placed before the closing " head" tag in both the index and include pages. Why isn' t the style sheet working for the include?

Thanks, gail

The style of the included section will be governed by the page it' s included into. When you look at the include page itself you may not see anything but should see it on the main page.

Hi,

If useing sub directories then you would need to use an absolute call instaed of relative.

Are you using quotes in the proper place like:

<link rel=" stylesheet" type=" text/css" href=" name.css" >

Just asking because they aren' t on the example you posted, but that could be an oversight...

As long as that is in the <head> of your document, it will apply to all the includes as well. The includes get dropped into the page before anything else is applied.

You do need to make sure that you have the proper tags on the include page... <p> or <h1> and what not.

Or like this:

<p>
<!--#include file=" xyz.shtml" -->
</p>

The style sheet won' t know to apply anything unless you use the tags that you' re defining...

I hope I don' t sound condescending, just taking some shots in the dark!

Aren' t style sheets the coolest?

I don' t think the presence or absense of quotes will make any differnece.

The call mst be to the correct location of name.css

As mentioned above, once the include is in its final page the styles will be applied. However it can be handy to see the styles as they will apply in the final page when you are working on the include page itself.

In general includes are in an include folder, a folder off the root.

So, if this called the style sheet sucessfully to a page in the root directory:

<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=name.css>

(Note: I removed period after css, which I assume was an error)

Then calling the css to a file in the includes folder (or any other folder off the root) would require

<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=../name.css>


Try that.

Reflect has hit your problem squarely on the head. Use an absolute URL and your problem will be solved.
