Linked style sheets

is there a way to create a style sheet (paragraph, character styles) that you can link to in multiple documents? And then you only have to change one document to affect all the other documents?

Not that I know of without scripting.
The character style flyout menu to load character styles does not even replace existing ones. Only method I know of is to make a text box with a sample of all your character styles, then paste that into each document and redefine each character style individually.

Link style sheet to .html file?

Hey dreamweaver community i'm really new to dreamweaver but have a slight grasp.
But i am creating a website (ethicistbeats.com). I have a design by using a css. style sheet and everything looks good in dreamweaver safari preview (on a mac), but when i upload it to my ftp client my designs/ format of my page does not show up, at all.
If you guys could reply and try to help me out that would be cool. i tried talking to one pf my friends who took a class on html code, but he couldn't help me.
Anyways, thanks in advance.
If you guys need more info about code and stuff i'll gladly upload it. Just again i'm new to this so i don't really know much... i just dove into dreamweaver like a need a webpage, not much help, but my site wasmade from a template - not sure if that helps.
Peace.

Unfortunatly, you have quite a mess on your hands. First you have embedded css above the external style sheets, which takes away one of the big advantages of embedded css, namely to override any rules in the external style sheet.
<style type="text/css">
.A {
color: #E12000;
.b {
color: #000;
</style>
But that is peanuts to the other probelms,
Your style sheets are not css files, they appear to be an html file. To create an external style sheet, go up to File | New | CSS and a new CSS blank file will be created. Paste your css rules into it.
You have
<link href="http://www.ethicistbeats.com.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
While I suppose you could link using an absolute link, I dont see an advantage,
but it would be more like
<link href="http://www.ethicistbeats.com/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
a better way would be
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This is not a style sheet, but another html file.
<link href="Index.html.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Take whatever css is in the files and put them into a new css file.
Start there, but there is more work to do.

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")

How to link style sheets to a jsp

Hi,
I have a html page which used a css file. I changed the html to jsp(by renaming the file , of course, there were no explicit jsp constrcuts)
But the effect of css file is gone although it is in the same directory as that of the jsp file on the web server, can somebody plz explain??
thanx
husane

Hi,
what you might want to try is to close the external css link by adding a backslash / at the end like the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/d1/d2/b.css" />

RH 11 v11.0.2.240: Cleaning up an External Style Sheet (CSS)

Hello,
I am in the process of trying to clean up a CSS for an "old" RoboHelp project. I believe the CSS contains many unused styles that were probably "trial & error" styles, but were never deleted when they failed to produce the correct format. I know it doesn't do any harm to leave them in the CSS, but I really don't want them around!
I did not see a report in RoboHelp that would provide this information, but before doing a search for each individual style using a program like Agent Ransack, I wanted to see if anyone in the Community had any clever ideas as to how to accomplish this task.
Thanks for your input/suggestions!

I can't say I've had this issue. But then again, I never use the CSS property inspector to create an external style sheet. I just hit File > New > CSS. I add my CSS rules and Save it to the local site folder.

Issue in using cascading style sheet(CSS) in coldfusion

I have installed coldfusion in my machine recently. The thing
is that my cfm files are not recognising the classes of the linked
style sheets though I have given the correct path of the location
of css file. Also it couldn't recognise <img src=""> tag to
display an image.
Please help me out to solve this issue.

CFM files are disinteresting in HTML, CSS classes and links
and that sort
of carry-on. It's all just "noise" to CF. So your CFM
template cannot, in
and off itself, cause problems with your CSS stuff.
What you need to do is to look at the generated HTML and see
what you're
doing wrong. I imagine you've got the URLs wrong. Bear in
mind that LINK
URLs are indeed URLs, and if you're using relative ones, they
should be
relative to the URL of the request, and have no bearing on
the file
location of the CFM file they are represented in. This is a
common mistake
nebies make.

CSS Link Styles

Having a problem displaying my links correctly using a linked
style sheet. The links at the bottom of my pages behave properly,
except for the fact that all of the links should be underlined, not
just a select few. They all behave properly upon roll-over, but in
a non-active state they all should be underlined. Everything
appears to be fine in Dreamweaver, that is, all links are
underlined.
Page:
http://relaxonmarco.com/
CSS:
http://relaxonmarco.com/ROMstyles.css
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have the visited state of the link set to no underline...
so once a link
has been viewed, the underline disappears.
a:visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
Change it to text-decoration: underline;
if you want it to remain underlined.

How can I get the link not to override my style sheet formatting?

I have an html page with text that has a style sheet applied
to it. When I insert a link into parts of the formatted text, the
style sheet formatting is lost in the linked text (the text for
mylars, shapes and number shapes becomes smaller: see code below).
How can I get the link not to override my style sheet
formatting?
Here is the html code I am referring to:
<span class="bodyheader20pt">Fall into winter's biggest
celebration with our New Year's Day <a href="
http://www.usballoon.net/web/default.asp?pagename=mg_cls&mg=A9&mg2=&cl=A4&sc=184&PageNumbe r=1"
style="text-decoration:none">mylars</a>, <a href="
http://www.usballoon.net/web/default.asp?pagename=mg_cls&mg=A9&mg2=&cl=L2&sc=184&PageNumbe r=1"
style="text-decoration:none">shapes</a>, and 2-0-0-9 <a
href="
http://www.usballoon.net/web/default.asp?pagename=mg_cls&mg=A9&mg2=&cl=L2&sc=166&PageNumbe r=1"
style="text-decoration:none">number
shapes</a>.</span>
I am using Dreaweaver CS3 on a Mac running OSX
10.4.11.

Show us this rule --> bodyheader20pt?
Also, having this in your three anchor tags -
style="text-decoration:none" -
will prevent your anchors from displaying any stylesheet
style for
text-decoration.

CSS Style Sheet Link Recursive Error?

I am trying to link a css style sheet to a new root file. When I try to link the css sheet I get an error - A recursive style import was found while trying to add Check Magazine.css. Please resolve this error by editing the file in an external text editor and try again.
What does this mean? I looked up recursive style everywhere and there is no explanation. I don't know how to fix. The answer I found on these forums mentioned an @import statement error but I dont even have any @import statemensts in my style sheet this style sheet is part of the Getting Started tutorial on this website.
@charset "utf-8";
#container{
width: 968px;
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
This is my code, can you help?

This is my index.html code, I am so lost as to what to do to get rid of this stupid error. My style sheet is not linked so of course it is useless and I have to code on both documents since the code doesnt show up automatically on the Style sheet when I add something to the index page

Using a style sheet with hbj:link

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a way to use a style sheet that I've created in my jsp with an hbj:link tag. Here's my style sheet:
<STYLE type="text/css">
a.button
a.button:active, a.button:focus, a.button:hover
</STYLE>
Here's my link:
<hbj:link
     id="<%=linkId%>"
     text="Sign Me Up"
     tooltip="<%=toolTip%>"
     onClick="signupLinkClick"
     linkDesign="REPORTING"
     >
</hbj:link>
I've tried wrapping an <a href="#" class="button"> tag around the hbj:link tag, but that didn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
there is a possibility to change the default style, but is not really clean. The browser when rendering a tag uses the last defined style for this tag. So you can redefine it. I used it in a DynPage, it worked ok.
First run the iview with standard style (normally). Look into the sourc of the page and find your "Sign Me Up" link. Check the class of the <a> tag. For instance it is a "urLnk".
Now just modify your style definition:
<STYLE type="text/css">
urLnk.button {
padding: 2px 10px 3px 10px;
border: 2px outset #cccccc;
background: #C0C0C0;
color: #000;
font-size: 11px;
text-decoration: none;
height: 19px;
vertical-align: bottom;
urLnk.button:active, a.button:focus, a.button:hover {
border: 2px inset #c0c0c0;
vertical-align: middle;
background: #cccccc;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
</STYLE>
and so on...
Hope this helps,
Romano

Link Spry 2.0 #Menubar to style sheet

I have a Spry 2.0 vertical menu bar. As you know, the css styles for the menubar takes up a lot of space in the header of the source code. I would like to have a link to it in a separate css style sheet. How do I do this. In the widget scripting?
Jeannette

Okay, I got it to link. I just put a link to the style sheet in the header and it found it. The problem I am having now is getting it to act right. I'll keep working on it.

Link to site-root relative style sheet not working CS4

I am trying to define links to site-root relative external style sheets - as I believe that IE conditional comments prevent Templates from correctly updating the links. The styles are not being applied when I use any href path begining with "/". So, the following do not work:
<link href="/styles/myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="/myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Dreamweaver can open the css file from a right-mouse click and even give me warnings about css properties as a tool-tip as I hover over the file. The styles are applied fine with document relative paths:
<link href="../myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Any ideas?
Jeff

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
Tanya

Hi Lad -
CSS is completely unreliable with the multitude of different email clients.
The attached capture of your email message to me has your image.somehow
Just host your image on your server with a full link to it (as I do)
and use inline styling for your text .
Here's a link to a recent HTML email I coded

Unexpected error when linking CSS style-sheet

I have been working on this site for over a month now. I have
a linked external CSS style sheet and everything has been working
seamlessly between Dreamweaver and the web. Today, I tried to
create a template and then disliked it, so I deleted it. After
doing that, my CSS rules were no longer displaying properly EVEN
THOUGH my formatting and everything has remained the same.
I have a feeling there is something cached behind the scenes
that is messing this all up. Community assistance is greatly
appreciated. This is not the first time I've been unable link a CSS
stylesheet.

upload the page and post a link, please.
