RE: CSS

Hi Stanley,

Great question.

I always store my global styles in a separate .css file. For me it's in a folder called /asset/css

Then between the <HEAD> tags of every page (in your template is best!), have code like this:
<link href="/asset/css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
which will link to that .css file each time. This is called stylesheet linking, and I would definitely recommend using it. You can link as many stylesheets in this way as you like.

Even if you're linking to a stylesheet, you can still override any styles on a particular page by redefining the same style 'in this document only (ie. between <STYLE> tags after your <LINK> tag). That's one of the reasons they call it cascading!

Thanks for attending our Dreamweaver Intermediate course today.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Paragraph formatting

in Dreamweaver if you type in text and press entre you get double line spacing.

To avoid this hold down the shift key and then press Enter for a soft break
