Re: CSS in templates in MX

Jon:

1. If I put the link in an editable region it's gone when I look in a file
created by that template, or

Changes to editable regions of Template pages are not propagated to existing
child pages, but will appear in child pages spawned after making those
changes. This is one of the prime directives of Templates. It has always
been that way.

2. If I put the link in a non-editable region, it appears and works within
the browser but DW doesn't see it when I look (from within DW) at a file
created with that template and DW insists there are no CSS styles defined.

If the CSS file is *within* the Templates folder then this is a) a frank
operator error, and b) a good way to get broken links like you describe.
There should be nothing in the Templates folder except for the Templates
files.

DW insists there are no CSS styles defined.

If I have a stylesheet that contains only redefined tags, e.g.,

<style>
<!--
td, tr, p, ul, li, input, select { .... }
-->
</style>,

then DW will insist that there are no styles. And, it'd be right, too.

In previous versions of DW I put links to CSS files within a template and
that worked with no problem. I'm discovering that in MX either:

1. If I put the link in an editable region it's gone when I look in a file
created by that template, or
2. If I put the link in a non-editable region, it appears and works within
the browser but DW doesn't see it when I look (from within DW) at a file
created with that template and DW insists there are no CSS styles defined.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing, is this an "improvement"
that
I don't understand, or what?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
