Attaching style sheets to whole website?

My question about attaching CSS style sheets remains unanswered as far as globally having them appear in the panel for the whole site. David Powers did answer me about how to add them to new sheets, but I have a site I imported from GoLive and what it looks like if I'm correct is that I have to attach it to each page individually to have it appear in the panel each time. Of course once I've done that to each page they will 'stick', but what I would like is if I create a style sheet and save it to the root, that it appear for any page that exists in the root level. Am I wrong? Or is there a way to make it appear for all pages without individually attaching?
Thanks

Style sheets must be attached to each page. One simple way of adding the style sheet to existing pages is to to a Find and Replace operation.
Find:
</head>
Replace with:
<link href="styles/mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
This uses a document-relative path to the stylesheet, so you would need to use a site-root relative link or do it separately for each level of the site hierarchy.

  • Attach Style Sheet not doing anything in CC

    I switched from DW CS6 to CC and found what appears to be a bug:
    Start a new HTML document or open an existing one. Click Class and select Attach Style Sheet.. from the Properties tab and nothing happens.
    Has anyone else encountered this?

    Hi filip0,
    Thanks for reporting this issue to us. We are aware of this issue and you can expect this to be fixed in the next DW update.
    This happens only when the CSS Designer panel is closed and you happened to relaunch DW and try attaching a stylesheet.
    I would suggest you to have CSS Designer panel open and try out this workflow .You can find it at Window>CSS Designer
    ..Harish

  • Attached style sheet only shows background

    Problem attaching style sheet to a page. It only shows the background color, nothing else. The .css code is there, but the background is all that shows up in design view.

    You need to add some HTML content to your page.  CSS doesn't DO anything on it's own.  It needs HTML tags to grab onto.  And you have none to speak of.
    Paste this into your HTML document after the </head> tag.

  • Using more than one attached style sheet

    I have one document with two attached style sheets. One style
    sheet defines how to display links for a navigation panel and the
    other style sheet defines how to display links within the body of
    the document. How can I indicate which style to use with a
    particular link? It seems one style sheet is predominant....
    Thanks for your help

    Why have two stylesheets? Merge the rules together into a
    single sheet. And
    read these -
    Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here
    are some
    tutorials.

  • How come FireFox won't load linked style sheets for every website?

    It started about 4-5 days ago. No matter what website I go to, it isn't linking the style sheets so the websites are displayed incorrectly. Why? I didn't change anything!

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • New to CSS! Attach a Style sheet to exsisting website

    Hi
    Im self taught so I need help in a really basic style please!!
    Ive got a website which Ive made my self, learning via youtube etc!! Im trying to figure out the css business!  After ALOT of trial and error I think im slowly getting to grips but I could do with a little help!
    Basically what I THINK Ive been doing is adding styles to a single page, and Ive found that I can now carry on the styles via copy and pasting the css code from the top of each page and pasting in the next page individually.. BUT I suspect the proper way of doing this would actually be to set up a separate style sheet which applies to the whole website, However, A) im not sure how to do this, and B) My site is working OK at the mo, so will this mess up the site if its added AFTER the site is already working?
    Idiot proof answers please! x

    Hi Every one,
    I just want to say a really really really big thank you! with your help I have now got the basics of css! It seems so simple now, but when I first tried is was REALLY daunting and I couldnt figure it out, I just needed a little point in the right direction,!
    I dont know if you get paid for the help for if you just to do it to be nice, but I just wanted to say a great big thanks to every one above! Your help and patience is very much appriciated!
    THANK YOU!

  • Losing attached style sheets when updating template

    I am creating a new site using Dreamweaver CS3, temporarily uploaded at:
    http://www.sharpeacademy.co.uk/nick-jackson.co.uk/sharpeacademy/theatrearts/
    All my pages are created from a master template which contains formatting for the header, sidebar and footer.
    When subsequent pages were created, I attached new style sheets as and when I added new sections to the main content area.
    The problem I am having now is, when I update the template all these style sheets are being detached from the relevent pages and I have to reattach each time. I tried attaching them to the template but it didn't help.

    That's what I thought (I say, trying to sound like I know what I'm doing!)
    This is the relevant code for my page - in this instance it's a tabbed panel which is losing the formatting:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/theatrearts_template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <script src="../javascript/locationTabbedPanel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../css/locationTabbedPanel.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    <head>
    <link href="../css/sidebarNav_theatrearts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../javascript/sidebarEmail.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../css/sharpeacademy_textStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="../css/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../javascript/jquery-1.2.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/menu-collapsed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <!--[if lt IE 8]>
    <style type="text/css">
    li a {display:inline-block;}
    li a {display:block;}
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    The style sheet looks like it's there in the code but it doesn't show in my css palette.
    If I then re-attach it appears twice in the code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/theatrearts_template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <script src="../javascript/locationTabbedPanel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

    <script src="../javascript/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../css/sharpeacademy_textStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="../css/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../javascript/jquery-1.2.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/menu-collapsed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <!--[if lt IE 8]>
    <style type="text/css">
    li a {display:inline-block;}
    li a {display:block;}
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    If I then make any changes to the template, I'm back where I started. I've just about got my head around Dreamweaver but there's a long way to go to understand the coding.

  • Removing an attached style sheet

    I accidentally attached the wrong CSS to one of my Index files.
    I looked around and couldn't find a command to unlink or unattach the CSS so I just deleted the code from the Index file.
    It was a single line of code, and it worked, but is that the correct way to do it?
    The code I removed is this:
    <link href="LR Galleries/Bruce'sGalleryCSS.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    Did I leave any 'orphaned' code in my Index that's going to come back to  haunt me?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    What you did is fine.    Test in all browswers.  If you have any problems, make sure your HTML document doesn't contain any embedded or inline styles.

  • Automatically attaching CSS style sheets to new documents

    I wanted to alert everyone to a great new Community article published by Adobe Community Expert David Powers. The article details how to attach CSS style sheets automatically when you create new documents.
    Here's the article:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/505/cpsid_50564.html
    This handy option is easy to miss, especially if you don't use the New Document Dialog box to create documents, so big thanks to David for highlighting this.
    Furthermore, the appearance of such an article is a great example of how Community content can interact and live symbiotically with Adobe Help. We've linked directly to David's piece from our documentation, and this is indeed a great thing because David is able to go into much more detail about the process of automatically attaching style sheets than we are able to do in Help:
    Create a blank page
    Create a page with a CSS layout
    If you're interested in publishing Community articles of your own, you can download the Community Publishing AIR application and get right to work!

    Can I ask why?
    David's excellent standard should be the minimum standard for Help files.
    The quality of software manufacturers' Help (not just Adobe) has deteriorated greatly over the past decade - to the point where it's now my last resort for learning.
    Software manufacturers seem to tacitly rely on 3rd party book authors (such as David's brilliant material), bloggers and online tutorials to explain their products these days.
    I'm happy not to have a printed book with my software any more because they were always out-of-date and hard to update. However the quality of PDF and online Help docs is so poor and sparse for my use that I prefer to get my answers by Googling, visiting forums or buying the occasional book.

  • Moving CSS to an external style sheet [was: CSS]

    Hi
    I have in error created all my css for a site as "this doccument only" what i meant to do was create a site wide style sheet !
    Is there a way to copy my css and turn it into a .css file that applies to the whole site, without starting again.
    Help much appreciated.
    many thanks
    Mark
    [Subject line edited by moderator for clarity]

    Hi
    Highlight the css from the document and select - Format - css styles - move css rules. Select new style sheet from the dialog, name the style sheet and save. Check that a link has been created for the new style sheet, if not select attach style sheet from the - Format - css styles list.

  • Style sheet not linking is frame

    Hi,
    I have a frameset with three fames. Each of the frames links
    to a style sheet called site.css via and included file. None of the
    frames are linking the style sheet, but if I load each file
    independently they work fine
    it works like this...
    All frames include the line <cfinclude
    template="header.cfm">
    Inside header.cfm is the line <link href="styles/site.css"
    rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    Inside the frames I cannot select css tyles. It says
    New/Attach style sheet etc.
    I have another website where I use EXACTLY the same concept.
    I've compared the code line by line and they are identical.
    Anyone have any ideas why the style sheet isn't linking
    properly?
    thanks

    Thank you.  I added the 3 sample css style sheets I want to use into my site.  Now I am trying to bring a different sample css into different sections of the layout.  Example:
    Sidebar 1: green/yellow
    Sidebar 2: red/yellow
    Middle: blue/yellow
    I seem to only be able to have one for the whole page.  Is this true?
    What I am doing is clicking on the div tag: <div.sidebar#sidebar1>, then "Edit CSS" and then scroll down in the Class window to "attach style sheet" and there at the bottom is a link to the sample css style sheets.  I click on the one I want and it changes the css for the whole page not just the sidebar 1. Is there a way I can get a different css sample style sheet for each sidebar in a 3 column layout, and a different sample css for the middle?

    You can't bring 3 of the sample CSS style sheets together because there are defined areas like tables and lists and paragraphs that are just being redefined.  Then what happens is the browser picks (usually the last set) the instructions it wants to use to display the content.  The only way around this is to save a copy of the 3 CSS documents and open them at the same time.  Then use one as your master which will be linked to the page and grab colors from the other CSS documents.
