Hi there

I need some help setting up CSS. I'm creating a newsletter to be sent to clients and I'm having a difficult getting the html sent to the client to show the predefined style sheets that's sitting on our server. How do I link the html email to look for the style sheet that's on my server? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

this should do it:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.yoursite.com/style.css" type="text/css" />

of course, user views their email off-line, bye bye style!

Many email programs cut off the <head> section of your html - so that means links won't work. Instead consider using inline styles.

I tried <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.yoursite.com/style.css" type="text/css" />

it doesnt work...but it should

k this is what I'm doing : I veiw my page on a browser and then I go > file> send by email> ...it opens in my email app (groupwise)then I send it to myself to test it...styles dont show up ..when it shows up in my email app it doesnt show the style sheets that I added to all the text...it just looks like the default version

I'd rather have the style sheet accessed remotely because I have to create 6-8 a month and it's gets to be a pain if I have to add each style manually
