Hi Monks I have been trying to link an external css to my run mode but have been unsuccessful so far. I have tried three ways of doing it 1. directly in template file like so.. 

<LINK REL=StyleSheet href="file:///C:/Program Files/Apache Software Fo
+undation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/myapp/templates/basic.css" TYPE="text/css"
+ MEDIA=screen>

[download]

2. declared as template var in runmode and used TMPL_VAR in path above in template file 

sub browse : Runmode {
    my $self     = shift;
    my $template = $self->load_tmpl("browse_form.html");
    $template->param (CSS => 'file:///C:/Program Files/Apache Software
+ Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/linkmotor/templates/basic.css');       
+ 
    return $template->output;
}

3. Declated in runmode like so.. 

$self->query->start_html( -style => {'src'=>'http://www.mystyle.com/st
+yles/style.css'} );

[download]

The problem is that when I view source in the first 2 ways, I see the linking with css path and when I copy source and save it as a dummy html file, it works - the styles take over. Why then it doesn't recognize css via calling the runmode? Thanks in advance for your help.
