Creating a Master Page and Importing a CSS

rubends · December 15th, 2005, 01:15 PM

Hi,
I am doing the 'Try it out' in chapter 2.
Step 5 says:
"Switch back to Design View to set the style sheet. At the top of the Properties box, drop down the list of controls and select Document. At the bottom of the properties list, find Style Sheet (see
Figure 2-5), click its ellipses, and browse to site.css. Click OK."

I don't have a 'Stylesheet' option in the properties of 'document', the only property I get is 'Title'.

What could I be doing wrong??

I am having the exact same problem. I am using VS 2005 professional. Is there a setting that i need to change ?

When the master page is in Design View, you can just drag the .CSS file from the Solution Explorer on the page. VWD will automatically add the necessary stuff to the <head> section of the page.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks for the quick response Imar.. I did what you suggested, at first it didn't work,but when i closed visual studio and reopened the project BAMMMM.. i got the "Stylesheet" option under the documents property..

Thanks a bunch.
