Description

AlternateCSS

Optional Text. Used in an Onet.xml file to specify the name of an alternate cascading style sheets (CSS) file located in the \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES directory that defines styles to use in the site definition.

Optional Text. Used in an Onet.xml file to specify the name of an ASPX page located in the \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS directory that defines an alternate header for the top area in site pages. This attribute provides a means to replace the header region of a native layouts page with the output of an ASPX page that defines a different header.
