Using "pages" to do your CSS files (so you can link to anchor elements
and so on) is the right idea, I think. I've recently been on official
reddot (Sorry - Open Text WS) training and this is how we were shown
to implement CSS files in the templates:
<reddot:cms>
<if>
<query valuea="Context:CurrentRenderMode" operator="=="
valueb="Int:2">
<htmltext>
<!-- This is the published mode -->
<!-- Add your normal links to CSS files as you would normally -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%anc_cssfile%>" />
</htmltext>
</query>
<query type="else">
<htmltext>
<!-- This is RedDot and preview modes -->
<!-- Add your CSS as a container so that it goes straight into the
page -->
<style type="text/css">
<%con_cssfile%>
</style>
</htmltext>
</query>
</if>
</reddot:cms>
Then all you need to do is reference your anchor to your template so
that it pulls your CSS file straight in and you're done.
I used to do this the same way, but used blockmarks to determine
whether or not I was in smartedit or not. This way means your preview
and publish can be differentiated against, which is useful.
I'm not sure what you mean about the CSS elements?
Hope that helps.
