CSS within templates

30/06/2008, 17h51

I have an old site (>250 pages) built using a muddle of DW templates and
libraries. I want to change the general layout and rationalise the templates.
I've done this experimentally using scripts to determine the contents of the
old editable regions and writing the text into a new files with empty editable
regions. Inside the template for these files there is a a link to a css file:

<link href="wp1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Because the files are in multiple folders, the path is wrong but the running
the template page update correctly alters the path, e.g.

<link href="../wp1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

This is great and the pages view correctly in a browser but not in DW8 design
view.

If I move the link outside the editable region, all is fine.

Any ideas gratefully received!

You cannot have links to stylesheets within the body of your HTML pages.

If that's not what you have, then we would need to see a page that is not
correctly rendered.

The css link is not in the body but I think you've put me on the right track -
Thanks. I made my new dwt from a DW6 original page that I'd cleaned up. The
cleaned up structure was

<doctype>
<html>
<head>
<meta...>
<title>...</title>
<meta ...>
<link to css>
</head>

The dwt adds its bits like so:

<doctype>
<html>
<head>
<meta...>

<title>...</title>

<meta...>
<link to css>

</head>

This means that my original metatags for one page were included in all the
constructed pages and were uneditable - not what I wanted at all. (I guess the
DW8 template is allowing for these bits to be included in the editable region
called 'head'.)

The doctitle region of the pages in DW6 included the metatags and, in altering
the new dwt to try to sort this out, I'd obviously messed up the css link (but
even now I'm not absolutely sure how) - but it is now sorted. Thanks.

You're welcome. If you are still using the doctype inserted by DW6, be
aware that this version used a broken doctype (it was valid, but not
complete), which caused IE to render the page in quirks mode - not a good
thing. Your best bet here would be to copy the desired doctype from a newly
created page, and replace the DW6 one with it.

Exactly.
