    Css and frames

    On my site they are various article to sell from various companies.

    The companies update the database directly on my server.

    Now, some companies would like to "integrate" their articles also on their
    website.

    For this, we are doing the job to have their articles coming from our site
    in a frame.

    BUT !!! when we try to apply a CSS on the frame, we have a big problem:
    nothing appens.

    We'd like the customers to manage their own CSS, instead of asking us to
    change for them.

    <link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css">
    <title>No title</title>
    </head>
    <frameset cols="80,*" frameborder="NO " border="0" framespacing="0 ">
    <frame src="leftmenu.h tm" name="leftFrame " scrolling="NO" noresize>
    <frame src=www.mysite. com name="mainFrame ">
    </frameset>

    we'd like www.mysite.com to takes the test.css.

    How to do so? Our client don't have access to scripts (no php, no asp...)

      Browsers are very limited in the amount of styling they can apply to a
      frameset. In theory you would expect to be able to have some control
      over the borders.

      Of course styling of the actual pages within the frames is handled
      normally.

      Sensible. So you should provide a way for them to get the data out of
      your database and apply their own formatting to it.

      ><link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css">
      ><title>No title</title>
      ></head>
      ><frameset cols="80,*" frameborder="NO " border="0" framespacing="0 ">
      > <frame src="leftmenu.h tm" name="leftFrame " scrolling="NO" noresize>
      > <frame src=www.mysite. com name="mainFrame ">[/color]

      Do you really have a file on your server called www.mysite.com?
      [color=blue]
      ></frameset>
      >

      Then you'll need to reference test.css from inside the file
      www.mysite.com.

      Then they'll have to take what they're given. If they want something
      fancier they'll have to move to a web host that gives them the tools
      they need.

              no, it's Outlook express that remove "" around links. Didn't see it. The
              source is a website.

                  It's okay. I won't tell if you won't.

                      Whether there are quotes around it or not is irrelevant to my
                      question. That is not a web site address. It's missing something
                      important.

                          Do you mean http? or it is irrelevant ?
                          I took mysite as a general URL only because I won't tell everybody the
                          correct address.

                          Or I'm missing something here ? Sorry, I may not undersand what you mean !

                              Bingo. Without that you're referencing a URL on your server not one on
                              another server.

                              Without checking that www.mysite.com actually exists.
                              www.example.com exists for the purpose of examples like this.
