I designed my webpage in PS and sliced, optimized and saved it as images and html. I imported it into dreamweaver CS4, aligned it in the center and so far it displayed correctly. Then I added a new div tag to create a new CSS style sheet where I changed the background color to match the new site's, and added some padding along the top.

I can see all the changes I made in design view, but when I select Live View or preview in browser, none of the CSS styles have been implemented. I have tried to find an answer to this, but cannot. PLEASE help!

The CSS code I added was:

@charset "ISO-8859-1";
#site_layout {
    background-color: #d5dbd3;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    padding-top: 35px;
}

And the Source Code is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<title>sliced & optimized</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="/site_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

First, (silly question but I have to ask) is the .css file saved?

Second, try adding

<style type="text/css">
<!--
@import url("site_layout.css");
-->
</style>

For some reason I find @import works better than "<link href="/site_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">" for me.

Hope this helps :) Please mark as solved if this resolves your issue.

It was saved (I know you had to ask!) :)

When I added the @import - it all magically started working!!!

Thank you so much!!
(I will now mark this as solved)
:)

Glad to help :)

Could someone also help too? I am having the exact same problem with mine
