Proposed AnswerThird-party design method not applying theme

    Hello,

    I developed a web site using VS2008 Pro.  When i activate the third-party design tools and upload my site, it displays but none of the themes/stylesheets/css takes effect.

    Is it possible to develop for office live this way?

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Tony

    make sure that the css is linked correctly.

    <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="www.website.net/themes/stylesheets/css/style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>

    Hello Matthew.

    I have this:

     

    <link href="../App_Themes/Standard/css-content.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="interactive, braille, emboss, handheld, projection, screen, tty, tv" />

    Does the href= have to be in the format you have?

    Thanks,
    Tony

    no it does not have to include the www.domain.net 
    the ../ goes up one level from your current page.  If your css is in a subdirectory from your page then you may find ./ would be enough but if the style sheet is in a completly different subdirectory from your page you may need to do ../../
