Step 3. Create an External Resource

WAM100 - Using Cascading Style Sheets

• In this step you will define an External Resource using this style sheet and initially apply this to your WAM layout for iiiUsingCSS only.

• This will mean that style sheet iii_style.css will be applied only to all WebRoutines for the WAM iiiUsingCSS.

• In a later step you will apply the External Resource to the common layout iiilay01. You will see how it is then applied to all WAMs, sharing this common layout.

• In a later step you will also change your style sheet so that it targets only lists with an id of EMPLIST.

1.  On the Favorites tab, select External Resource / External Resource from the New button.

 

2.  Complete the details as shown in the table, but note the following steps:
