Custom pages and CSS

[Albert The Daft]

Just a quick question...

I've created a custom page with a little embedded CSS using:

<style type="text/css">

...

</style>Should this go before or after the $[zone_1] tag? I assume that tag adds some html to the source which could affect the page as it's being rendered by a browser.

Common coding practices mentions that css should be placed at the beginning of the page (generally in the header if possible), as you would want the css to run as the page is loading, not after.

Hi Albert The Daft

What's between the opening and closing style tags is referred to as an internal Style Sheet. It contains a list of rule-sets which define how HTML elements on the page will be styled. While it can be placed anywhere within the document, best practice is to place it before any HTML, as Joshua Farrell stated.

Thanks, both.
