External style sheet not showing in Edit mode

[itchylick]

Make sure the extension for your ssi is .shtml. Styles should then render correctly in edit mode.

Here's a little more info about what led me to making the previous post:

You can use a number of different file types as ssi's (.htm, .html, .asp.
etc). You might also expect that they'd be treated the same way in Contribute's
edit mode. They didn't for me.

Similar to a post above by ekp23, I am using a server-side include in the head
of my pages to a file that calls my external style sheet. The problem I
encountered was when in edit mode, the styles would not render and the page
would fall apart. I was unable find a solution until I came across this article
today ... [url]http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/contribute/extreme/extreme002.html[/url].
The line that caught my attention was "Also, make sure that users who create
pages with includes know to add the .shtml extension to the filename." So just
out of curiousity and a dwindling set of options I changed the filename of my
ssi from .htm to .shtml ... and guess what? It worked. My pages now render
correctly in edit mode. As to why this is happening I couldn't tell ya. I'm
just glad I can move onto the next problem.
