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.
