Thanks Patrick. I can sense what you are talking about but it would be helpful clarifying how to do that if you don't mind. Thank you!

Hi Qwer,
The 200 forms can be linked to the same form template. And that form template can have the CSS that you want. Not sure I understand your scenario though.

CSS Inheritance in SharePoint

qwer — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 23:12:35 GMT

Hi all,

This is a topic streaming from a topic I posted before which was about having many forms referring to 1 single cascading stylesheet (CSS). Basically I can now pretty confidently say that you cannot have this many to one relationship happening unless you include the stylesheet as a resource (which defeats the purpose of inheritance since changes will not be reflected globally across the forms). I have tried a <link> reference as well as the @import method in the view.xsl file, both of which failed unless I include the css as a resource.

Now my question is, does sharepoint portal server allow this many to one relationship? where my 200 or so forms can be uploaded onto sharepoint and all referring to one css file also uploaded onto sharepoint WITHOUT including the css into every single form. (I vaguely remembered reading about this possibility but have lost the information source.) Please help!
