Multiple style.css files?

I'm a complete newbie to Dreamweaver and have several sites
that run off of the same domain. I have to admit I don't know mcuh
at all about Dreamweaver, style sheets, etc. but bought two
templates that I was able to update, but when I publish them the
background color, and some fonts change to the defaults of the
previous template (1 has a blue background with white type, and the
other green with black type).
From what I can tell there is sowmthing called style.css file
that seems to set the default styles, and they have the same name.
Is there a way to have two of these files on the same site? Can we
assisng different names so that the pages know which style sheet to
follow?
Any help you can give would be great.
Renee

Can you post the URL?

Multiple Spry CSS files?

I'm wondering if it's possible to have more than one style
sheet for, in this case, Spry Tabbed Panels. I'd like to have a
couple of different looks for tabbed panels in the site on which
I'm working and want be able to do that will CSS. So...
1) Is it possible?
2) Is there a specific naming convention, (i.e.,
"SpryTabbedPanels1.cs")?
3) Presumably they would need to be stored in the SpryAssets
folder???

Style.css compatibility

This may be a silly question, but I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my style.css file.I'm new at this and I'm getting compatibility issues with a color selection that I'm using and I don't know why. Dreamweaver is saying that it is incompatible in IE 6,7 Netscape 8 etc.
Here is a sample of the code:
12.      }
13.      td, textarea, input, select {
14.      font-family: Tahoma;
15.      font-size: 10px;
16.      color: c6c6c6;
17.      font-weight: normal;
18.      }
Line 16 is giving me the error. Unsupported value:c6c6c6. But, the site shows perfectly in Chrome or Mozilla....
Thanks,
DJ

Put a hash mark "#" in front of the color hex. Interesting that some browsers show it correctly without it, but all will be able to show it if you use the hash.

To wit: #c6c6c6

Searching the correct "style.css" sheet for InfoView

Hi guys,
i have to customize the apperience of InfoView for a Customer. I did pretty good by using Firefox and "FireBug" PlugIn so i can see which *.css Files i need to edit.
I hearbly cant find the "style.css" sheet for the Panel in the "Document List". I mean the Panel with the Buttons "Switch to Folder", "Switch to Categories", "Refresh", "New", and so on.
I also need to customize the Background color, Font, etc. there.
Firebug tells me the style.css lies here:
SERVER:8080/InfoViewAppActions/ure/ure/dhtmllib/custom/skin_ure
But on the OS side i only have:
D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions\
And even no "style.css" file under the whole Folder InfoViewAppActions.
Anyone knows where i cant find this stylesheet ?
Environment:
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
BOE XI 3.1 FP 1.4
Default Tomcat 5.5
Thanks in advance!
-Seb.
Edited by: Sebastian Wiefett on Aug 26, 2009 4:52 PM

The file omni.jar is a ZIP archive in the Firefox installation folder that stores a lot of the extra (chrome) files that Firefox uses. In previous Firefox versions those files were separate files on disk, but those files were moved to one large ZIP archive that has an optimized file order to load the files in it as quickly as possible during the start up. If you want to inspect files in that archive and your file manager doesn't allow access directly than make a copy of the file and add a .zip file extension.
You can open that archive file and browse to the /chrome/toolkit/res folder.

Css-file on Romote Site does not show changes

hello
I use Dreamweaver CS4 on Win7 64bit system.
I have a new website in construction and today the developer made changes to the Style.css file. Made the changes on an other computer and not in Dreamweaver.
Now, when I open the Style.css file from the Remote Site, it does not show the changes that were made. However when I delete the Style.css file in my Local Files directory and copy the Style.css file from the Remote Site to the Local Files and open it from the Local Files in Dreamweaver, it shows the new file with the changes that were made. But the Remote file keeps showing the old data.
I took several steps to try to eliminate this problem. Closing Dreamweaver and deleting the Configuration folders in Users>[NameUser]>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Dreamweaver CS4> Both in en_US and nl_NL, although the latter did not contain any files.
This did not work. Deleted the Style.css file on my Remote Site and uploaded it again from my Local Files. Nope. Still shows rthe css-file with the old data.
Anybody any idea where Dreamweaver gets these old data from and how to make it work differently?
greetings, Lex van de Oudeweetering

Hello Ken
I did not say my page is troubled. The trouble is that the style.css file opened from the Remote Site in Dreamweaver shows the wrong data, but in effect has the right data, because when copied to the Local Files and opened from there it shows the right data.
The link to the page/site in construction is http://www.lex-illustrator.nl/lexillus
And I have made screenshots of the opend css files and assembled them beside each other.
On the left opened from the Local Files and on the right side the same css file opened from the Remote site.
The orange dots indicate where they differ, the green ones the items that were changed today. So it's not a problem of only today.
http://www.lex-illustrator.nl/2xcss.gif
And I have to say I had issues before with updating files to the Remote server and how Dreamweaver shows them. Much of the times I have to delete the Remote file first to get it dispayed right if I check if it has worked by trying to open it from the Remote server.
So it's not only limited to this site under construction. It looks like a Dreamweaver thing to me.
Greetings, Lex

Have a simple External .css link, but it is overridden by basic & agl-styles css?

Hello
Have just ?up-graded? to GoLive 9. Yes I have CS3 DW. I'm to old to change at this point.
Long time user with many websites, designed with GoLive 7. Most of these sites I have created, using one external "textMaster.css". All is fine.
I've created a simple new Golive 9 site with one "index" page. Imported one of my External.css, and placed this file in the CSS folder that GL9 creates.
On this index page I link to my external css, as in GoLive 7. Now I add a Grid layout, add a text box, and type some text. Once I'm finished, I select all the text and at the top menu bar assign [H1] to my text. In Golive 7, this would then use the [H1] text font,size,colour,etc. When I do this with GoLive 9, a two new external css are generated.
agl-styles.css
basic.css
The font size now seems to follow the agl-styles css, which for some reason has a font size of 66px assigned to [H1]???
If I delete the above two css files, the font DOES assign MY textMaster.css correctly. However as soon as I create another text box and then assign [H1] to it. All the text boxes on the page once again go to 66px. Also in the external css window, these two unwanted css files are back. In the "code" view, they are also now there.
What am I doing wrong?
I have also tried this with a small existing GoLive7 website, that I opened and updated in GoLive 9. Same story.
I have looked in the GoLive9 pdf manual to find out what a "agl-styles.css" file is, and how to stop it from being generated. No luck.
Thanks in advance for any direction.

Thanks Nate for your answer.
It's a VERY SAD SAD DAY, when one of the only reasons I was going to update from 7 to 9 was for a more up to date .css implementation.
SO VERY SAD to see, the most very basic one external text css, not work on a page.
I'm back to V7, got a refund from 9. Soon this forum which I have used for 7 years, will look like the hallways of the Vancouver airport at 11:47pm.
Thanks Nini, Nate, etc. I'll still be visiting this forum until it dies.
SAD SAD SAD! I'm sorry sir, there is now only one brand of car, it comes in one model and you have no options.

Problem with CSS files when placed in multiple locations.

Hi,
In our application we have a folder structure for the code files. Folder structure looks something like the one shown below:
ABC
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
DEF
Scripts
Stylesheets
Common
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
The problem is, if we create a CSS file and place it in its module specific folder (Eg: ABC) to which it belongs to and call the CSS on a page, then the styles are not getting applied to the page. But if we move the stylesheet to the Common folder, then page renders properly. In common folder, we already have a common CSS which is used across the project.
Facing similar problem with module specific and common js files.
We have to move all the module specific files to the module folders and all the common files to be placed in the Common folder.
MII Version: 11.5
Please help!
Regards,
Rajesh.

Rajesh,
Also note that, If your html is referencing to multiple css files then the last referenced CSS file style classes will override all the style class having same names in the previous css files.
for example,
say CSS1 has
.bodycolor
background-color:yellow;
.button
color:red;
h1
font-size:50pt;
and CSS2 has
.bodycolor
background-color:red;
.button
color:yellow;
And your HTML is,
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css1.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css2.css"/>
<title>CSS Test</title>
</head>
<body class="bodycolor">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<input type="button" class="button" name="B1" id="B1" value=" Click " size="50">
</body>
</html>
In this case the classes "bodycolor" and "button" will be overridden by css2 file but h1 will be taken from css1
Hope this helps!!
Regards,
Adarsh

HI

Hi adil,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1025/styles/Themable/corev4.css", file not found. Please verify that the file
exists under the layouts directory.” .
The issue happens in
We have customized master page
In the master page, we use path the script/style file like this: <SharePoint:CssRegistration name="<% $SPUrl:~SiteCollection/Style Library/coe/mainCOE.css%>"
runat="server"/>
While using the dynamic path in a multiple languages enabled site, language Id(1033 etc) will be added to the path automatically. That cause the file to be not found.
To solve the issue, please download the Arabic language pack http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3411 ,
install it on your SharePoint and refresh your browser.

Multiple css files in the project

Hi,
Iam working on a RH project which has files imported from
word. As a result a result I ended up with multiple .CSS files: one
.CSS file per Word document. The .CSS files are basically the same
so I would like to merge these into a single .CSS file and apply
this to all the topics in the project. Help for merging these files
would be appreciated. Also is there a way to to identify unused
styles and remove them from the project?
Thank you.

Welcome to our community, eastcongress
Try viewing the Topic List. Select all the topics and choose
properties. Then choose the style sheet you desire.

Issue with multiple CSS files

I am having a problem adding multiple css files in an article. When i alter the html close the article then re-open it. RoboHelp changes this and adds 1 css link. See images below. For now I am going to put all styles in one file, but want to know if there is a work around and what others are doing for this.
Before close
After close and re-open

Sorry but RoboHelp only supports one CSS file.

When I try to attach my css style sheet Dreamweaver gives me an error saying that my .css file appears to be an .html file and will not attach. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

I have built a css style sheet in Dreamweaver. When I try to attach it to my html website, it prompts me that my "css file appears to be an .html file and cannot attach". I've tried removing the /* */ as suggested by other forums, but this has not resolved the issue. I was using css style sheets with no problem 2 days ago. Now I get that error message. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

What does the code of the CSS file look like?
An external CSS file needs to be written in CSS only (no html tags like <html>, <body>, <head>, etc ).
It also must have a .css file extension, if yours has a .html extension it won't work.

Jquery mobile - how to create multiple CSS files?

I've been researching this heavily, and can't seem to find anyone discuss this. I'm a CS4 user, and understand 5.5 now includes builtin support for jquery mobile. I've watched the videos on how you set the sizes for phone, tablet, desktop, point each to the appropriate CSS file. Great, wonderful.
However, nobody is discussing how you get the three separate CSS files! I want to add a mobile version of an existing site. I have just the one .css file. How do I make the other 2 .css files? Do I duplicate the desktop file, and start somehow altering each item? Is there some type of automatic system to tweak the main .css file?
Seems like this step is critical. Any insights?

I built this page with CSS Media Queries. If you resize viewport to less than 480px, it changes layouts.
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS-centered-round-boxes.shtml
I made the Desktop.css first.
http://alt-web.com/Styles/Desktop.css
Then I removed the Desktop.css link from my HTML document and replaced it with the iphone.css link.
http://alt-web.com/Styles/iphone.css
After fine tuning the iphone layout, I re-attached the desktop.css link and added the following code to the head of my document.
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />
<link href="../Styles/Desktop.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (min-width:481px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Styles/iphone.css" media="only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px)"/>


Do you have to literally go in and manually change the wraps, floats, whatever for everything?
Yes. If you examine the comments in my iphone.css code, you'll see I changed some things to display:none, float:none, etc...

Problem with elements/text linking to styles in external css file

Hi,
the project I am working on is using a default.css and I would like to assign styles from the file to elements in edge - how can I do that?
I already tried the "class" setting in the GUI next an element but the elements do not use the styles defined in the default.css.
The default.css is linked in the html file properly. In the js file which edge creates I see that the value userClass: 'slideTitle' is assigned and slideTitle is defined in the default.css.

Use yepnope like this:
yepnope(
    nope:[
    // include your css file path here.
        'css/yourcssfile.css',
    complete: init
function init() {
//whatever you need here

JSF: Using own custom styles in skin css file?

I have created custom skin by defining custom css file and implementing predefined ADF style definitions (aliases).
Also, I need some other styles for use on specific parts i application, and my idea was to put these styles in same css file which is used in skin definition.
For example:
.footer_txt {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #FFFFFF}
My intention was to use this styles in styleClass attribute of various
adf faces components
But after starting application, I can't find my additional styles in generated css file (pfmskin-desktop-10_1_3_1_0-ie).
Looks like that css generator is ignoring any styles which are not ADF predefined styles?
I was thinking that this is possible, because at the end of srdemo.css file (in SRDemo application) there is one part like this
/* custom styles that I made up and set on the styleClass attribute of various
adf faces components */
.adfFacesDemoSearchPanelGroup
width:100%;
padding:6px 6px 6px 26px;
background-color: #0099CC;
I can put my styles in separate css file, but then I have to include this file in every application page...
Is it possible to have custom defined styles in skin css file, and use them in styleClass attribute?

Hi,
skinning only works with the ADF faces skin selectors. There are plans to support custom selectors in a future version

Is it possible to use multiple css files in epub?

For fixed layout I would like to use multiple css files.
Is it allowed by apple requirements?

Yes. ePub suports multiple CSS files and therefore so does Apple iBooks.
