@import tag

I'm trying to use the following code to import my CSS style sheet but
Dreamweaver MX 2004 isn't reconiging my style sheet

I Would like to do it this way so I can define another stylesheet when
printing.

Thanks,

<style type="text/css" media="all">@import
url(http://www.lvthunder.com/layout.css);</style>

try calling the stylesheet normally:

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

or using import; then have the stylesheet call the other stylesheet.


In other words have the stylesheet contain "@import
url(http://www.lvthunder.com/layout.css)".

I don't think you can import a stylesheet in a <style> tag.

DW doesn't recognize absolute urls (e.g.
http://www.lvthunder.com/layout.css), so you need to copy the .css file
to your site and use a page or site-root relative path.

For example, if you copy layout.css file to the same folder as your
page, then the markup would be:

<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url(layout.css);
</style>

But its more useful to link to it as a short-absolute path. This way DMX
doesn't change its path, and also it can be found from any file on the site.

And... there are two ways to link to a style sheet using the @import rule.

(1.) <style type="text/css"> @import: url(/css/index.css) </style>

(2.) <style type="text/css"> @import "/css/index.css" </style>

I suppose I'm wrong given the replies.

Also, it will work on your www site as absolute (if you can use import
in the <style>).

Thanks everyone for the help. I took out the direct link and replaced it with a relative link and it works now.
