CSS in VS2008

Ciphon · 13 Jan 2009 at 11:49

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with some CSS in Visual Studio 2008.

The layout / colours of the page display correctly in the Split / Design views, but when I press CTRL + F5 to view the page in a browser, all of the CSS is stripped out.

Anyone come across this before?

Cheers.

Can't help but think that as you mention both CSS and VS2008 you'd be better off in the HGP forum.

Do you mean HTML, Graphics, and Programming... is that not what this is? :confused:

Oh balls.

I'm asleep. Could have sworn I was in Windows forum.

See my personal title.

It's an external sytle sheet if that helps....

You have triple checked your HTML reference links and you dont have any developer tools running on the browser that disables CSS?

Solved!

For some reason - the website was saved in 2 different places. In 2 folders I didn’t create, one called Website, and other called Project.. CSS was in the Website folder, but not in the Project folder where the .sln was! Copied the CSS into both folders, and used full URL and it works! Woooo!

From now on, use Notepad++ to edit and your browser to preview

So is it best to just not create the CSS in Visual Studio, and use Notepad?

Not Notepad, but Notepad++

Anyway, it's just my opinion and I wouldn't take it seriously since I've never even seen VS...
