I believe what you are asking is how to get the html 'previewed' IN BBEdit to use the appropriate CSS file. You probably ARE using a link in the html page to use it when on-line. However, you may not be using the full path to the file. "/The_site/style.css" in the html file. That's usually fine, when all your files are in the same directory. When you open the html in BBEdit, the link doesn't work because it actually refers to the directory some where on the web server, not on your hard drive. I think you have two main choices: 1. Keep viewing your work with a browser, a separate page that is not usually visible to the public should work. In this case, you can maintain the shortened file paths as you may already be doing. 2. Change the links, not only on the web but on your disk based files. Surely there is a better, easier alternative! And I'll bet the BBEdit experts will tell both of us real soon! ;-) Of course, if you were using some kind of file management system, it would probably take care of all the path changes the last option would require. Obviously, I'm no expert, but using the space online works great for me. If you have a fairly fast connection, it will take only a second to upload changes and refresh the page. If you do things this way, you might also want to keep the browser's as low as possible, zero, even. This will usually keep it from storing anything the page loads, e3specially the CSS file. It can be very frustrating to refresh the screen/page when you change the CSS and not see any effects just because the 'friendly' browser kept the old CSS in its cache for you! ;-) Jim Chaffin [email protected] ---------- aibohphobia - fear of palindromes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
