preview with css support

Post by Longa »

Starting to get used to webbuilder, but have one small problem, which is probably easy to solve. :?:

When working on my htm file, I would like to see the page with CSS support. I have not figured out how to do this internally in webbuilder. As I'm not a pro I would like to see the result of my coding immediately with the preview feature. At present time it shows me just the htm page without CSS support. By the way I'm switching over from a big program as it can't display floats the correct way.
Thanks for yr help

I forgot to mention this only happens when I download htm files from my server to edit it.
Local preview is of course no problem

With no response to my question yet, :?:

I have to assume that when a user uses the FTP download feature in HTMLPad to edit a .html file from an external Server, one can not preview the file correctly if CSS is involved in it. :(

The File does only display like in a Text Browser like LYNX.

I've never tried this but I think the linking is the problem. You might try editing the HTML file to link absolutely to your CSS file and see if that works. so instead of /css/mycss.css link the page to http://mysite.com/css/mycss.css

Again, never tried it but it just might work.

Yes, syrupcore is right. Try his suggestion. Unfortunately direct CSS support for FTP files is currently not available.

Thank you for your help!

I understand the idea of direct linking. Just thought that there is maybe another way of handling it.
