.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007CSS in MasterPages
I have a master page I want to use a CSS stylesheet for. I put the link tag in the master page markup, like this <link href="Styles/MyStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> It works fine in Visual Studio design view when I look at a content page that uses the master page. However, when I run my web site app, the stylesheet markup mysteriously disappears. Does anybody have any ideas? This is kind of baffling. Is the content page in a different folder than the master page? Try an absolute path in your css link. Or better yet, use Themes. >I have a master page I want to use a CSS stylesheet for.

What exactly do you mean, regarding themes, that they 'don't work' When the Master page includes the exact correct theme, I have had no problems using themes with CSS files. Of course, I assign my theme in the Web.config file David Wier http://aspnet101.com http://iWritePro.com - One click PDF, convert .doc/.rtf/.txt to HTML with no bloated markup > Both are in the same folder.

I am declaring the theme in the Content page and have EnableTheming=true in both Master and Content pages. I did try declaring it in the web.comfig and it made no difference. CSS will work at design time only if I put a <link rel....> declaration in the Master Page. At run time, the markup disappears. > What exactly do you mean, regarding themes, that they 'don't work' > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > >> > This > >> > is kind of baffling. I can understand your frustration, but rest assured that CSS *does* work. It's just not working for you. ;) What I usually do when I have a particularly frustrating problem is try to create a very simple project that exhibits the problem. You can then share that simple project with the community and they can help you troubleshoot. More often than not, I am *unable* to duplicate my problem in a new, simple project - which means that I've got something whacked in my big, complicated project. Then it's a matter of finding out "what's different". Perhaps you could try that. Create a simple web project (no security or anything) and see if your CSS file works. Assuming it does, keep adding things to your sample until it breaks. Then share that project with us. Scott > Skins do work, but CSS does not.

What is frustrating is that if I use themes and look at the source of the page I can see that the Styleheet is being inked in as it is supposed to be. It just isn't doing anything. > Is the content page in a different folder than the master page? Try an > absolute path in your css link. Or better yet, use Themes.

I have forms authentication but the web.config file has a location entry for the css file that should make it accessible. I've played around with it quite a bit but no luck. > Do you have security on the folders holding the CSS and/or Theme files? > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >> > This > >> > is kind of baffling. To verify that your location entry is working, try typing the url to the CSS file directly into your browser address bar. Do you get an error? >I have forms authentication but the web.config file has a location entry >for [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> >> > This >> >> > is kind of baffling. No. It directs me to the logon page. Once I have logged in, I can type the url of the css into the browser address bar and it asks me if I want to save it to my hard drive. As I said, it displays the css markup in design view, but not at runtime. On the other hand, skins do not show up at design time but do show up at run time. Pretty weird. > To verify that your location entry is working, try typing the url to the CSS > file directly into your browser address bar. Do you get an error?

This > is kind of baffling. Improve you markup. <link rel="Stylesheet" href="~/Styles/MyStyle.css" runat="server" /> I have tried every variation of the link markup I can think of. As I said, the css works in design view. It is just at runtime that it disappears. > > I have a master page I want to use a CSS stylesheet for.

I am giving up on CSS and instead of defining things like tables in html, I am using asp, which is a ridiculous increase in server load but what else can I do? I want to use CSS to save time, but have already wasted an entire bloody day on this and have to get on with the job. Very, very frustrating. It is hard to imagine something more basic to web development than CSS and to have this sort of problem is just not acceptable. > I have a master page I want to use a CSS stylesheet for.

This > is kind of baffling. Hi, I have noticed many times that changes in my stylesheets are not immediately effectuated at runtime... Internet Explorer has cached a previous version of my stylesheet file then. I have to manually delete cached files in Internet Explorer: Tools | Internet Options, tabpage 'general', press 'delete...' in 'Browsing history' and then press 'delete files...' After that I press F5 and then my changes are effective. Hope this helps, Hans > Well it appears that I can get skins to work but CSS simply will not work > no [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> This >> is kind of baffling. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I tried it but it didn't help. I will keep checking here to see if there are any other suggestions, and I am grateful for the advice you have all given, but I have to move on with the project. I am not going to waste any more time on CSS but will put the markup in the Master pages directly. At least that will provide some level of reusability and control.
