CSS Questions

Freeway
1

  1. Does Freeway upload .css files to the server? The only one I see on my server folders is ie6.css.

  2. If I have a .css file how do I import it into Freeway. I know how to import styles from another freeway file, but not from a .css file.

OR

  1. If I have the script contents of a .css file—how do I get that in Freeway.

Thanks.

If you want it to. Use File>Document Setup and look under the Output Tab to enable the ‘External Stylesheets’ option.

If I have a .css file how do I import it into Freeway.

Several ways to do this. Link to the CSS in your Markup

link rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” href=“http://www.yoursite.com/yourstylesheet.css”

Or use an action such as ‘ESS - Use External Stylesheet’

Or copy the style code and add it into Page>Html Markup in the Before section.

If I have the script contents of a .css file…

See above

Of course that should be

<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/yourstylesheet.css”/>

You probably didn’t do it right.

Any style declarations have to be wrapped in opening and closing style tags

<style type="text/css">

styles declarations

</style>

didn’t work.

Just to add to this - if you can post a link to an example online that you are working on then we can have a look at the underlying code and tell you why it ‘didn’t work’

Then Freeway will write all of its style code into external stylesheets. Unless you enable this feature, Freeway will write only the styles needed by each page into the head element of that page. The IE6 shim is there to normalize features that creaky-old versions of IE get canonically wrong.
