CSS and Fusebox

Hello,

I am using DW 2004MX, and love the new style functionality, but since almost everything I do is in fusebox, which uses includes for almost everything, I cannot figure out a way to easily use CSS.

I know you can attach a style sheet to a single document, but when one document includes another, the style should only be included in the first document.

Within DW, this means that I cannot see or use the styles unless I attach it to both files. If I do this, when I publish, the stylesheet will be included twice.

Does anyone have a solution so that I can effectively assign a style sheet to an entire project?

I can't seem to find a way to do this.

Thank you! :o)

Design Time CSS should be an excellent solution.
You may check DW's Help for additional details

Massimo,

Thank you for replying.

Designtime CSS seems to be what I'm looking for, but do you know if it can be applied at the project level, rather than at the file level?

What I did was attach the style sheet to a document, and then when I closed and reopened it, DW did not remember that I had attached the designtime CSS to that document.

If DW would remember this on a per-file basis, it would be acceptable, although tedious to have to attach it to each...

However, if I can specify a designtime style sheet for a whole Site, that would be just what I'm looking for. Do you know if I can do this?

Thanks again,

Kenny

No, not out of the box unfortunately.

That's weird... DW stores the info about Designtime CSS inside a DEsign
Note, be sure to have them enabled.

It's supposed to do that and it does just fine for me (both DW MX and DW
2004)

Somebody with the relevant knowledge could make a dedicated extension :-)

I see now that it does remember the style sheet for each document. Thanks for your help!
