The @import and the @page rules

[blackadder63]

I'm finding, utilising 'Frontpage 2002' as my editor, using 'web preview' and
'print preview' I cannot get the '@import' for htm and the '@page' for .css
to function.

Show me how you are trying to use them, please. Your description of @import
for htm is a bit confusing.

Hello Murry, thanks for your interest.
for the @import..
<style type="text/css">
@import "other.css" print;
</style>

and the @page which was part of a .ccs file
@page :left{size:8in 10in; margin:1in 1in .5in .5in; marks:crop cross;}
@page :right{size:8in 10in; margin:1in .5in .5in 1in; marks crop cross;}
@page toc{size:8in 10in; margin:3in .5in .5in 1in; marks:none;}

Try this -

<style type="text/css" media="print">
@import "other.css";

and the @page which was part of a .ccs file
@page :left{size:8in 10in; margin:1in 1in .5in .5in; marks:crop cross;}
@page :right{size:8in 10in; margin:1in .5in .5in 1in; marks crop cross;}
@page toc{size:8in 10in; margin:3in .5in .5in 1in; marks:none;}

These will not work reliably. The browser universe is not ready for it.

Change
<style type="text/css">
@import "other.css" print;
</style>
to
<style type="text/css" media="print">
@import "other.css" ;
</style>

The first version is not well supported by some browsers. Neither version
is supported by IE5.0.

The size attribute in @page is not supported by many browsers. The size
attribute has been dropped from CSS 2.1

Thanks Murray, I'll give it a bash in a minute.

Try this -

<style type="text/css" media="print">
@import "other.css";


These will not work reliably. The browser universe is not ready for it.

Thanks Ronx and thanks for the additional information on @print
