    You can even plug in the URL of an entire style sheet. Use the browser's View menu to see where the style sheet is stored. If the style sheet is linked, replace the last part of the URL with the folder and style sheet filename to browse to the style sjeet
    • WSU's home page, for instance, is at http://www.wright.edu .

      We know that index.html is the invisible filename, so we are actually looking at http://www.wright.edu/index/html . View, Source,gives the style sheet's shorthand address as /cwis/css/toplevel.css . Put the home page address before the style sheet folder information, to find the style sheet.

      The URL of the linked style sheet is: http://www.wright.edu/cwis/css/toplevel.css .
      This is the address you can copy into the Selectoracle web page box to learn more about how the style sheet controls and shapes the looks and styles that combine in the WSU home page.
