HomeExternal Style Sheets
External style sheets requires the creation of a new file. External style sheets don't require the <style type="text/css"> </style> tags. Once you create the file you save it as filename.css
Following on from the previous examples your .css file should contain something like this
B {color:red;
text-decoration:underline;
}
So all we have to do now is link to the style sheet using the following syntax.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/PATH/TO/style.css"> which gets placed between <head> </head> tags.
By placing the link in the head of all your pages your style sheet now controls the appearance of your whole site.
I can't think of anything to say against using external style sheets I use them all the time and have never had any trouble. I have seen other sites where they have perhaps removed the .css file which newer browsers ignore but Netscape 4x gives you an error page - you don't get the webpage instead you get an error message saying it can't find filename.css
That isn't really a style sheet problem more of a webmaster not paying attention problem :)
Now that we've taken care of the basics to get you started we will look at some common style elements you can control.
