linked stylesheets proper linking ?

[prequel]

i use Dreamweaver and when i link a style sheet

it comes out as

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

now it leaves out type="text/css"

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">

is that important ?

Not very important for the functionnality of the website, but it's not standards-compliant if you forget the type= declaration.

It also can help if you make a dynamic stylesheet, like a stylesheet in PHP. In this case you'd have a PHP file, so you've got to put the type= declaration there, and add the same kind of thing at the begining of the style.php file.

hey, its all about how you handle your coding.
for example, to set a javascript tag, you also add the type. right?

thats with compliance to the standards. the same goes for css. make sure there's consistence in your coding.
