Linking a StyleSheet

[barski]

Can some one explain this? I have the following at the top of my page

 

 

<table height="61" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%" align="center" bgColor="#ffffff" background="graphics/ban_back.gif" border="0">

<tr>

<td background="graphics/ban_back.gif">

<div align="center"> <IMG height="61" src="graphics/logo_ban.gif" width="760">

</div>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

 

and everthing looks great but one I insert the link to the stylesheet

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

 

It shoves the img down and it looks horrible.

what's in the style sheet? Anything that refers to elements in your page.

[barski]

A little bit of everything. Yes, there are reference to elements within the page

You can: Remove the Table and TD tags from the CSS

or: Add a new Class attribute to each of your tags in your aspx page. (with or without its' elements in the CSS) In other words if you speficy a class that does not exist in the CSS then no harm the existing tags will not be altered.

That did it. Thanks.

Well I spoke too soon. It did fix my original problem but if the page contains a crystal viewer it does the same thing I mentioned before even if there's not a stylesheet linked.

The default sheet created for each asp project may not be suitable for everyone.

You should really remove all the generic style that you don't use from the styles.css and only keep the one you intent on using.

I just drag the style.css to the form I want it on; all is find then.
