applying external style sheets

Rookie here, sorry.

I use dreamweaver.

My code is:









So the external css sheets are linked within the page.

But I don't understand how to get into the page and start putting
things into the header, footer etc. In dreamweaver the help talks
about seeing it in the window but in the css window I don't see the
styles. I see the them in the folder. I'm lost and I know it's
something silly, but I cant seem to figure it out. I'm moving from
tables to css design so I'm sorry for the very rookie question.

You have created the individual .css pages, and you need to add
content to the .html pages? Or have you created the .html pages and
need to add css styles to the .css pages? More or better info please.

Re: applying external style sheets

Sorry, I've created the css sty;e sheets but now I want to add
content. Using dw I linked to the external sheets but I'm lost at how
to use them on a new page.

For instance, if I wanted HEADER LOG GOES HERE in the box that the
header css sheet would apply to, how do I do that? I've div tags and
I'm assuming there's basic code I'm missing on how to start/stop the
css sheet I think.

You've already shown you know how to attach the style sheets to your
page. What is in them? Post a URL.

I think .. well .. you need to step away from Dreamweaver and learn more
about how web pages are constructed. Trying to explain this in a Usenet
post would be somewhat difficult. Not dissimilar to teaching you to
drive a car when you've never been behind a steering wheel before.

As others have said, you really need to step away from Dreamweaver and
learn the actual HTML.

One thing I would suggest is putting all your external stylesheets into
one sheet. Eg:
#header {height:100px;}
#left {border:1px solid red;}
#right {border:1px solid green;}
#body {font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}
#footer {margin-top:2em;}

Then in the markup:
