Style sheets are an advanced HTML and web authoring technique that allows a designer to define a set of preferences that dictate visual standards for a set of pages. These preferences specify font sizes and colors and page colors but may include custom-created tag definitions. UO/E is implementing style sheets with basic specifications for fonts, colors and font-style tags.
The style sheet for county site main pages is housed in the .../standards/ directory and is maintained centrally. When style sheet changes are made, pages linked to the style sheet will be updated automatically.
The style sheet is specified in the header section of each page that uses it. If you switch to "HTML View" in FrontPage, you will find this statement:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../standards/county.css">
The HTML command tells a web browser to load the file and format the page according to the instructions in the style sheet. The master style sheets are located at:

A server-side include resides in a central location on the outreach.missouri.edu web server and is accessible through any web directory or webpage. Server-side includes are identified with an .shtml file extension. Example: search box on UO/E home page. These files are unlike FrontPage includes, such as footer.html files, which must be located within a specific directory.
Pages with server-side includes will always have the file extension .shtml instead of .html.
