stylesheets and .tpl's

I don't think my presentation .tpl is finding my stylesheet...help!

The link in .tpl looks like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/httpd/iw/ewebeditpro20/LCV2.css">

(note: same directory as the IW default stylesheet, ektnormal.css)

Is this the correct way to specify the path? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I think the href in your <link> needs to start at the root level of your workarea, or if you want to access it in the ewebeditpro20 dir, you need to start with "http://YOUR TEAMSITE SERVER/opt/iw-home/...."

OK, now I've put the .css in the root level of the workarea. The link in the .tpl is as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="LCV2.css">

It still isn't picking up the stylesheet settings. Smiley Sad

So, you're saying that you have the css file in root level in workarea and you have a web page generated by a template in the same directory that refers to the css, but it's not working? If it's Unix, did you make sure the css file is case sensitive.

This time I put the .css in the same folder as the generated html, and IT WORKS! Now my problems is that I'll need to have dozens of copies of the same stylesheet for each generated folder. My branch structure looks like this:

/content_type/ (contains datacapture.cfg)
/content_type/data (contains DCRs)
/content_type/generated (contains generated html)
/content_type/presentation (contains .tpl)

To copy .css into each generated folder (there are probably around 50!) will be very tiresome. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help so far....getting closer!

your link tag was right, you just need a slash in there...
href="/LCV2.css"

It's working now....thanks so much!
