Hyper Text Style Sheet.....What is it?

[Sharron]

Making web pages as I do, well I know it is not conventional. That said......yeah I know. I have discovered that Front Page will save as a Hyper Text Style Sheet. What exactly is that? When you first save it as that, you can browse it, but if you close it then re open it shows up as html code.

Is this style sheet then linked somehow to another page, like the html page. There is a link to the princess.css file on the bottom left of the page.

Here is what I was working on. http://alexupload.home.att.net/princess.html


PS, It might be a nice feature on this forum to offer a search forum for text inside posts. I have been thinking I want to go back and down load that program for css that someone posted a while back, also the css templates they posted, was that Jonra?

Anyway can't seem to find the thread.

Click on "Search" and then choose the option "Display results as: posts" when making the search

Hmmm.. .whatever FrontPage did is of course not a style sheet at all, why it would call it a css file, who knows. It's obviously just your own page, the same exact one you have up on the web.

I haven't used FrontPage so I cannot be any more intelligent about it, but methinks it's buggy

Sharron, seriously, you could take a quick course about webdesign and make an extra income designing websites from home... more than a webdesign, an artwork... that's what I love from websites.

But, apparently, they don't call it that. (fortunately) A "HyperText Style Sheet" could be anything they might want it to be (including, I suppose, CSS). CSS is "Cascading Style Sheet", but "style sheet" is a fairly generic term that's been around in the printing world long before the developers of CSS applied their unique interpretation to the term. FrontPage has also been around for longer than CSS, so this might be some kind of legacy term. And, although the "HT" in "HTML" stands for "hypertext", that is also a generic term of which HTML was but one example when Berners-Lee introduced it.

But, whatever it means in this instance, it doesn't appear in this glossary of FrontPage terms.

So, I too am at a loss. I tried out FrontPage several years ago and ran from it in horror... largely because of who-knows-what-that-might-be proprietary notions like "HyperText Style Sheet".

Thanks, what sort of faster.... I mean quick course are you talking about? Websign in general or a particular format, like css, php or is that even what they are called...formats.

I would love to make money!

Might they be using Hypertext Style Sheet to mean a template???

[Sharron]

Well the version of Front Page I use has save as Hyper Text Template in addition to activer server page, web pages, front page template and of course the hyper text style sheet, which when choosed saves with the .css extension.

But I don't think you were asking me, haha

I am off to count sheep night

just a dvery dum notion - I think it's pretty silly and allows you to save as any extension but it's up to you to make srue the contents match the extension.

Dreamweaver allows me to save as php for insatnce, but it won't check that what I have is valid php.
