RE: Link - CSS

Hi Amanda,

I guess you could link to someone else's CSS, assuming their CSS code is in a separate (linked) .css file.

View the Source of their web page, and look for the line that looks like this:
<link href="/asset/css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

That line indicates the file global.css is located in their /asset/css folder on their web site.

Now on your web page, insert the same line of code (must be between the HEAD tags) but href to include their full domain name URL, like this:
<link href="http://www.microsofttraining.net/asset/css/global.css"; rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

I'm not sure if this will work, but it should, as CSS is just plain text file.

A better option is to type that full HREF URL into your browser to see the CSS file. You can then save it as your own .css file on to your machine and use it on your own site, making changes whenever you want.

Let me know how you get on!

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
