framesets - where do i put css files?

**stef25** · Jul 29, 2008 11:49

i have to build a site using framesets. my index.html is below. the top frame always stays the same but the bottom one changes. at the moment i have my css file in the index.html but styles arent being applied in either of my frames.

where do i put the link to the css file? there are no <head> tags in the files which appear in the frames. do i have to use inline css?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
	<title>My Page</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="_css/reset-fonts-grids.css"> 
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="_css/styles.css"> 
</head>
			
<frameset rows="110px,*">

  <frame src="top.html" />
  <frame src="home.html" />

</frameset>

</html>

Each frame contains a complete, separate HTML document which needs to link to a CSS file. You can use a single CSS file and link to it from each frame page, or they can be entirely separate.

A frameset is not one page, but an agglomerate of separate pages.

so does each page loaded in a frame also need a doctype, head and body tags?

Yes - each frame contains a completely separate HTML page.

I am trying to post a query here along with the code..
I am not able to do this..
why.. can any one please let me know ?

Do I need to post at least 10 messages prior to post codes?

If you don't have an explicit head section, you need to place the stylesheet reference between the DOCTYPE and body element (or the first element in the body, if you don't have an explicit body):

Code html4strict:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
 
<title>Sample frame page</title>
 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="..." type="text/css">
 
<h1>Sample frame page</h1>

I don't think so, but you need 10 posts before you can post a URI. In the meantime you can circumvent it by adding space characters around the periods in the domain name, e.g., www . example . com.

"The number of tags you tried to add to this thread exceeded the maximum number of tags by 1."

and until my post count increases.. this system is not allowing me to post..

This is so bad..

I guess, I have to increase my post count by writing these kind of stupid posts first..

The whole purpose of the limits is that if you post too much garbage in the first few posts then one of the moderators can delete all the fluff posts and spam before those responsible get a high enough number of posts to get the benefit that the spammers are looking to get by spamming in the first place.

Ah. This is problably the tags 'feature' of the forum, where you can specify 'tags' (keywords) for a thread. There are no tags specified for this thread, though.

Since this thread is quite old, why don't you just create a new thread for your question? Don't put anything into the 'tags' field of the new thread, and you should be fine. (You won't be able to post live links until you reach 10 posts, though. This is an unfortunate effect of SitePoint's efforts to reduce spam.)
