If you are using the dispatcher have a look at: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/trunk/whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.themes.core/themes/pelt.fv?view=markup and http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/trunk/whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.themes.core/themes/pelt/css/pelt-css.vt.xml?view=markup The important part in short: 1) you need to define a url specific structurer: <!-- CSS View of the request e.g. index.dispatcher.css --> <forrest:view type="css" hooksXpath="/"> <!--Use/define css contracts in themes/yourPelt/css/ --> </forrest:view> 2) Activate the css link to the url specific css. <!-- HTML View of the request (e.g. index.html)--> <forrest:view type="html" hooksXpath="/html/body"> <forrest:contract name="branding-css-links"> <!-- More information around this contract http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=113473237805195&w=2 --> <forrest:property name="branding-css-links-input"> <!-- You can request url specific css as defined above, but beware that you need to use the *.dispatcher.css extension!!!--> <css prefix="" url="#{$getRequest}.dispatcher.css" media="screen" theme="Pelt"/> </forrest:property> </forrest:contract> ... </forrest:view> This scenario will create to each html file a corresponding css file. e.g. requesting: index.html will as well produce index.css. I do not think this is what you want. Like I understand your mail you are looking for a file specific css (but only one). If you are testing your css you want to do only on one page, why not create an url specific structurer. e.g. ${project.resources}/structurer/url/index.fv.
