Linking external style sheets to multiple pages in a Web site

Adobe GoLive lets you easily link external style sheets to multiple pages in a Web site without the laborious task of applying it to each page one page at a time.

To link an external style sheet to multiple pages:

1 In the File tab of the site window, select two or more pages.

2 In the File Inspector, choose the Styles tab.

3 Enter the URL of the external style sheet into the text box at the bottom of the Inspector. You can also use the Point and Shoot button to select the style sheet in the Files tab of the Site window, or click the Browse button.

4 Click the Add button to link the selected style sheet to the pages selected in the Files tab.

You can link more than one external style sheet. The order of link creation shown in the Styles tab indicates the order of precedence of the properties in the external style sheets. The higher the external style sheet appears in the Styles tab, the lower its precedence.

To quickly change the style sheet referenced by multiple pages:

1 Create a new style sheet document, and save it as part of your site. The Save dialog box has a shortcut menu that lets you navigate to any open site document.

Use the same style names as in the original style sheet, and your pages will reformat automatically.

2 In the site window, select the .css file you want to replace.

3 In the Link Inspector, locate the icon of the style sheet document you want to replace, and use the Point and Shoot feature on the new style sheet document.

4 In the Change Reference dialog box, click OK to confirm the change.

When you open a page that references a style sheet, it will contain a new set of styles. If the new style sheet uses the same style names as the previous one, your page will be reformatted with the new styles.

To unlink an external style sheet from multiple pages:

1 In the File tab of the site window, select two or more pages.

2 In the File Inspector, choose the Styles tab.

3 In the Styles tab, select the external style sheet you want to unlink.

4 Click the Remove button.

To view a referenced external style sheet:

Double-click the external style sheet in the Style Sheet window to view the style sheet in a separate window.
