@ import CSS Command

or other?

[SuzyUK]

I've just uploaded some pages to start the testing online

and straightaway there's a problem

I've put a link to my page in my profile...sorry I can't duplicate error as I don't know what it is

On viewing the page in IE & NN it's OK, but Opera is producing a strange thing..i.e. some styles are there...and it's missed out half the page...although on looking at the source code it's all there

HTML & CSS validates as per links at bottom of IE NN page

I'm puzzled...

unless it's my browser setting, but I can't think what I've done

ideas please

I've got a complete page in Opera on Linuz Suzy...

Very weird- I'm sure I've seen this happen, maybe someone will come along while I look for those posts. When you place your styles between the <style> tags inside your document they work fine. Have you tried relative links?

Thanks Nick...have amended my Opera browser settings and still no joy...

although..user mode now has no styles, at least the whole page is now appearing

still stumped...

Madcat are you saying you're seeing the same problem?

yes I was just trying that method..ddidn't remove the @import statement though

..........
added

but then I saw your post and I removed and replace with <link rel> and it works now!

what is the significance of using one method over the other again I can't remember...

Thanks
Suzy

Did I miss something? How did you get the page to show up?

[SuzyUK]

madcat we just crossed over again as I did my edit to previous post

first I got page to show up by taking out all the preferences in user mode, (just to prove to myself it was actually there!)

then I added them back in one by one in the Author Mode...but that didn't help

any way you'll see by the link in my post above the error was happening because opera wouldn't accept the two stylesheet commands, they were "merging" and now the main styles are there (amended online)...but the print styles aren't working...but I'll get there

Thanks

@import is part of CSS - while <link> is an actual HTML tag. @import won't be noticed by some browsers but you can use that ability to dupe NN4.

[madcat]

Ahhh...good stuff. If you wanted you could write it like this too:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url(http://linkToThis/main.css);
@import url(http://linkToThis/print.css) print;
</style>

-------------------------------------------------

I guess Opera was on the mark with that call.

[SuzyUK]

Yep...for a change!

now for another...with that last bit of code, with which I was experimenting anyway..NN & Opera are OK and IE6 doesn't like it...

and I if I use <link Rel> for the print sheet Opera gets a little bit fussy!

I give up...for tonight anyway!

Thanks
Madcat was beginning to think I was cracking up until you said you saw it too!
