Usage Notes

dsp:link lets you reference files such as stylesheets and formatting pages and makes them available to the parent page in much the same way as the HTML link tag.

Note: dsp:link uses the iclass attribute in place of the cascading stylesheet class attribute to avoid using a Java reserved word in Java code.


<dsp:link rel="stylesheet"
  title="Jefferson High School StyleSheet"/>

This example creates a link from the current page to a stylesheet called style.css that is located in the same directory. The linked page uses the standard MIMETYPE for stylesheets (text/css) and is titled Jefferson High School Stylesheet.
