JSP with Stylesheet

Hello,

i got a very simple web-app and wanted to implement a stylesheet for my view (jsp-document).

My JSP looks like this:



line 6 code above shows the html-tag which "connects" to the stylesheet. and yes the stylesheet is named "style.css" and is in the same folder as the jsp-document.

and the extremly simple stylesheet looks like this:



unfortunatly the border specified does not appear on the screen. Any hints ?
Thanks in forward...

UPDATE:

I found a solution, which seems too inelegant, but works:



that means adding the "meta-tag" and "html:base-tag" do contribute something i do not comprehend at this time.

Still i am open for other solutions...
regards

#wrapperTable is a comment in CSS. You want to use .wrapperTable

No definitly not, since:

1. After the UPDATE (see edited post), the stylesheet is working.
2. in stylesheets using # correlates to the "div-id" specifier.

Still im open to other solutions...

That is saying you are using a print style sheet...aka printer, not the browser

I was telling you what that tag meant, not what you are supposed to use.

You're right. I should have thought that through before posting. The ironic thing is that I'm working on css right now! I think that's why I posted it wrong.

To clarify what I was thinking. There is a CSS hack that uses the "#" for IE 6. Of course the most common instance as a selector uses a # normally.

Can I claim ignorance due to snow day?

You might also want to reconsider the use of page-relative URLs in JSP pages. They might work in some case, but not all. You are much better off sticking to server-relative URLs as outlined in the JSP FAQ.
