Style Sheet Attached To A Template
I have a template and attached a stylesheet to the template.
Questions:
If I make changes to that stylesheet, are the changes reflected on all the pages which are based on the said template or do I have to manually insert the relationship on each separate page?
When I make style changes using the "page Properties"; the styles embed into the head of the template - how do I ensure these are inserted into my separate stylesheet instead?
If I have both a separate stylesheet attached to the template and other styles are also embedded in the head of the template - how are the styles subordinated as the page renders? Is it possible to have both running side by side?

As long as the external CSS stylesheet is linked to the template (in a locked region) and to its child pages, you only need to upload the changed stylesheet for the changes to take effect throughout the site.
You will see all styles in effect on a particular page shown in your CSS Styles Panel. Simply move them (in that Panel) by selecting them and dragging them into the list of linked styles (assuming that the external file is linked to that page). Don't forget to upload any changed pages, including the stylesheet.
Yes, of course, you can have both separate external stylesheets and styles embedded in the head of the template. Styles in the head of the template take precedence over the styles in the external stylesheet, but again, you would have to re"put" all child pages if you change the styles embedded in the template. Better to make more specific styles in your external stylesheet

Template with CSS style sheet attached, not updating in pages
It shows when I look at it in a browser but its not updating in page view. Also not updating image links of style sheets.
I am a developer for a long time. I know dreamweaver and how to do this. Its a bug I think. But need need to know what I can do to get this fixed.webgirlfl wrote:

Do you mean it's not showing in Design View?
This could be caused by errors in your code. DW's Design View is very unforgiving of even small errors that the browsers handle with ease.
Check your template page against these validators and clean out any errors...
HTML: http://validator.w3.org/
CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Is the css that the template is attached to embedded within the template's <head>, an external .css file or inline css?
Is any of the non-updating css in editable regions? -
How to use own style sheet in user interface templates to change buttons, fields look
I want to use my own style sheet to change the appearance of buttons, form fields etc. while applying my own user interface template. I know I can create an unstructured UI template to change logos, body color etc. but how do I apply css to buttons, fields generated by the portal components form wizard ?
If this is not possible, how do I create my own form and get the same functionalities of a wizard generated form ?
Thanks.Mrinal,
I have solved that problem fortunately.
What I did was to create my own unstructured user interface template. In the unstructured UI template, you can use style.
for example, in between the <head> tags, write <style> tages and create own classes for buttons, textboxes etc.
Then write a javascript to assign those classes to the buttons. Call the javascript function on OnLoad event in <BODY> tag.
That will do the job.
for example you have a style class called buttonclass for buttons.
<script langauge=javascript1.1>
function setstyle(form) {
for (var i=0; i<form.length; i++) {
if (form.elements.type == 'button') {
form.elements[i].className = "buttonclass";
</script>
<BODY onLoad = "setstyle(document.forms[0]);">
hope this helps.

Web template style sheets(.css) !!!
Hi,
where can I create my own style sheet for the web template and also how can i edit the exisitng style sheet in BW..
Thanks for your help in advance,
AC..You can create your own using notepad or any other authoring tool. To get a stylesheet from the BW server, go to the Mime Repository (Transaction SE80). From there you need to find it in the directories. Normally it is in the SAP->Public->BW->BEx->Stylesheets or BW->Customer->Stylesheets. You can import, export, display, and change the stylesheets from here. If you make changes to the stylesheets, you will need to invalidate the global cache by using the transaction SMICM. Use the GoTo menu in the top menu and select HTTP Server Cache->Invalidate Global in System. This should help you out. Use this link for more on the stylesheets:

CS3 to CS4 - Style Sheets not working
I created some writer templates in Microsoft Word by exporting styled text from a CS3 document to an rtf. I modified the style sheets in Word to be a generic font (Times) and made all the text black; however, the text still had my Indesign style sheets attached. I've been using these Word documents for about a year with freelance writers and they've been working great. I don't have to apply all those styles; when I place the text from Word to Indesign, the Indesign attributes take over.
However, when I recently saved my Indesign files in CS4 and placed text from the Word documents, all the Indesign style attributes do not take over. In other words, the font stays in Times rather than change to the font assigned in my Indesign style sheet. Some attributes do work, the color changes from black to white, etc., but the font is not changing.
Has anyone else had this problem?>

a guess- renaming the files so they don't start with a . and
DO have .css
file extensions will probably fix this.

Variable Entry Style Sheet (CSS)
The Web template uses the style sheet from the MIME repository:
<link href=/sap/bw/mime/BEx/StyleSheets/BWReports.css type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
But, when the variable entry screen is displayed when executing the query it is not formatted and uses this style sheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="OWNER">
What is missing or needs to be configured so that the variable entry page uses the same style sheet as the Web template?
Thanks for the help in advance.i had ot type out in the file:css in order for it to be imported into DW i dont know why its doing that.
Did you define a local site folder in DW before you begain your project?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WS753df6af718a350a60097e0f131686fa2b4-7ff e.html
This critical first step allows DW to manage your site links and assets for you. Without a local site folder definition, many of DW's advanced features won't work.

My page is displayed perfectly in design view, reflecting the CSS rules I've created, but when I preview in Live View and in a browser, it's as if there is no style sheet attached at all... ??
Some things to check:
1) Did you define a Local Site folder in DW before starting your project?
If no, refer to part 1 of this tutorial:
Creating your first web site in DW CS4 -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_cs4_website_pt1.html
2) Did you link your HTML page(s) to an external stylesheet?
See link below for details:

I would like to see a new InDesign feature or add-on whereby I could administer and edit paragraph/character style sheets for multiple documents, rather than having to individually edit style sheets in all those documents.
Rather than the style sheets being embedded in the document, they could be linked to it from a central set.
Recently I was involved in a job where we had to change the style sheets on 40,000 templates. Lucrative for me on a freelance basis, but somewhat tedious...Interesting idea.
But do you know you can already do a lot of what you want by using the Book feature? As long as the style names are EXACTLY the same in all the files you can add files to a Book (.indb) and synchronize the styles for all to a single document of your choice (the one you edited). Just be careful NOT to synch any sort of numbering or anything else. -
I have a lot of external style sheets linked in my template to various pages on my website. They directories are all off the root directory.
How can I specify in the absolute path linking the external style sheets rather than the relative path since each page would be from a different starting point?An absolute path would be
http://www.yoursitename.com/subdirectory/filename.css
And the way you would link it would be:
<link href="http://www.yoursitename.com/subdirectory/filename.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
You can see this when you link to a typeface hosted by Google:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Alegreya+Sans+SC' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
That absolute path links to the Google-hosted stylesheet no matter where the website is located and works for all browsers that have an internet connection (in other words, it will not work on a corporate intranet, unless the computer on that intranet could also see the Internet).

Problems attaching an external style sheet to several HTML files created with a template
Hello All;
I've been working on a task that should have taken me a few minutes but instead, it's been taken all day.
I am creating a site using a template and out of the template, I've created about 6 html files each of which is a different page off the main menu.
I created a blank css file and tried to attach it to one of the menu pages but it keeps saying that the link failed.
If you want to see my code, follow the link below ...
http://www.dedula.net/balloonsat/Contact.html
I am trying to attach a separate style sheet to this page so that I can style the table differently than other pages that use a table but up until now, I have not figured out how to do that in DW. I am not proficient at writing CSS code directly so I am using DW - hope that's possible.
While templates seem very useful, they are also a source of fustration for the beginner.
TimTo add to what Snakeyes has said, it should have created the "head" editable region to include your <title> opening and closing tags. So I would suggest that you change this
<title>Balloonsat High Altitude Flight (BHALF) - Home</title>
To this
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<title>Balloonsat High Altitude Flight (BHALF) - Home</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
Then directly after the closing <title> tag, add whatever head content you need.

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">

<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. -
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 helpWhy have two stylesheets? Merge the rules together into a
single sheet. And

How to bring Sample CSS Style Sheets into a Template?
I am creating a site from scratch using CS4 Template. Can I incorporate more than one DW Sample CSS Style Sheet? And how do I bring them into the Template site?
Thanks, gThank 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?
thank you very much -
Trouble attaching css style sheet in DW MX
Trouble attaching css style sheet in DW MX (NOT DW MX 4)
I am currently using Dreamweaver MX , and for some reason, in

the change). My divs, and images are all stuck to the upper left
corner, as though it were not attached.

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.
