Hi All, Was just doing some minor edits in the ‘styles’ pages when I refreshed and noticed that the site styling is gone =\> [http://www.fourwallsandaroof.com.au](http://www.fourwallsandaroof.com.au) Checked the production\_log and the authorised access has only been myself and hopefully my boss, we have edited no radiant files. What ids a possible cause of this and where do I check that the correct style sheet (styles.css) is being referenced? At least the site is still up, that’s a bonus! cheers, Ben. ---

After some further testing on WinXP/Linux, seems that only Firefox fails to render using the style sheet. Opera 9.2 and IE6.0 work as per usual. Any ideas? ---

By chance is the Content-Type wrong on your stylesheet layout? It should be set to text/css. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

Maybe so, but nothing has changed, in regard to the radiant files, only being editing via the /admin/login and Firefox worked fine this morning, and now doesn’t. ---

Hm, I wish the structure for the stylesheets would change in Radiant. Wouldn’t it be better in the stylesheets and rss feeds code where placed under Layouts. Insted of using \ under Layouts to link to the Page etc. – Gustaf Lindqvist [http://lindq.se](http://lindq.se) 5 maj 2007 kl. 15.47 skrev John W. Long: ---

To create a Stylesheet layout: 1. Switch to the layouts tab 2. Create a new layout and call it “Stylesheet” 3. Set the body of the layout to: 4. Click the “More” link underneath the title of the stylesheet layout and set “Content-Type” to “text/css”. 5. Save the layout 6. Switch back over to your “styles.css” page 7. Set it’s layout to “Stylesheet” – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

I’m with Sean. Pages really means “all text files” and Layouts are for enhancing (or wrapping) them. For instance, I have a site where I’m using two page parts to store a single javascript page. One holds commented, human-readable JS, the other is in a tab called “compressed.” My JS layout includes the logic to serve up the compressed JS file if it exists (along with some added copyright stuff), otherwise it serves the standard page. So this method does add some neat options. That isn’t to say that there aren’t issues with treating all text files as a generic “page.” There are different types of pages and users view them differently. I think Radiant should too. ---

I see what you mean, but Layouts are not navigable/serve-able content, they are wireframes for the structure of content. XML feeds and Stylesheets are just degenerate cases. Sean
