Hi folks,

I got a little problem with DW (CS3) lately: It creates files intuitively,
for example it will create a file Style.css if include a Style.css in my
index file.
I do not want this though. Any way to prevent DW from doing this?

Please explain what that means.

A CSS file has to be included like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" hrefStyle.css" />

If I put this line into a file (html or php), and save that file,
Dreamweaver creates the Style.css (if it doesn`t exist).

Ok. And how is that bad? If DW didn't do that you would have a link to
nowhere. How would that help?

Because I am used to high-level coding, and thatfore used to
non-straight-forward including-structures.
Just because I state that my CSS file is calle Style.css it does not have to
be in that very directory.
DW let me decide that in the past, but for some reason it took that decision
from me.

So do you have actual advice on the topic?

Advice? Sure. Don't make the link until you have created the CSS file.
Without the file the link has no purpose or value anyway so why create it
prematurely?

So you still don`t understand, huh? :-)

Ok, check this out: I got a file x.php, which links to the file style.css.
style.css is not located in the same directory.
Here is the but: x.php gets included in y.php, which is one level higher.
style.css is in the same dir as y.php. So the path is correct now.
But: DW creates a file style.css in x.php`s dir, which will never be usded.

Got it now? I am really looking for help here...

I'm not sure that I understand either, but I use a lot of PHP
includes. I always make any links in include files as site root
relative links. That way they will work regardless of where the file
gets included.

Jep, that works for sure. Not flexible enough for me though.
If you`re moving depth-wise you gotta change your links...

And again: DW did not always do that. So there must be a way for me :-)

Okay, then I was right. I don't understand because a root relative
link will always be correct for me.
