I guess you need to ask that in the WYSIWYG and Text Code Editors [webmasterworld.com] forum since this is not really about CSS but rather about Dreamweaver. Andreas

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what the problem is - that's why I asked. I mentioned Dreamweaver because I thought it might help.

Can't say i have ever had the problem before So the code for the external .css file is in place in the template, and of course saved. Questions, Have you built a page from the template, and saved it before previewing?
Have you checked that the .css link (and correct) is in the new page? It sounds like a buggy problem with DM, as far as i am aware their are no restraints on including external files for style control on template files.

If you're expecting your styles to appear in DW's DesignView window when using an external sheet, my experience is that they will not. But if your links are correct, they do appear when using Preview A Browser. Internal styles, those imbedded in the HTML on your page, DO appear in the DesignView.

Thanks guys. Caine
Yes I did what you said. The link to the external css file is not correct when I save the new template based page - instead of css/file.css it shows templates/css/file.css. I don't know why it does that. However, when I correct the mistake it still don't work. And after I save and close the file and then open it back up - the mistake is still there! Dan

If you're saving your new file in the main root of your site and the external css file is in a templates sub-folder, then templates/css/file.css would be the correct path. As soon as you save a file in a different location from the original, Dreamweaver corrects any changes in file paths automatically. You didn't say if the styles were showing up in design mode. If they are then apply the template, save the new file first and then try previewing it - as mentioned, the external style sheet won't show up in preview until you save your file.
