I took the approach of making a pure CSS skin but when I installed it there are a couple problems with it. Things are missing from my html file I used to build it. 

#1 My design has a toppane in it and I dont see that in the layout of the page. When I view the HTML I see all the tags and the CSS applied.

#2 My style class variables are not applied at all which Im not sure why this would be my css file along with all the gif and jpg images are in the skin package I installed.

Any ideas?

Haven't seen your code, I don't know exactly what's missing.

Here are my suggestions:

  1. "toppane" not being rendered, double check to see if you have it runat="server"
  2. make sure you have your stylesheet named skin.css
  3. double check if you have specifiied the doctype for your skin so it'll render correctly

Hope this helps!

The Toppane I was missing the runat="server".   I have my style sheet named skin.css and put it in the Skin Package.  Where do I specify the doctype?

Sample code from my default html file is below.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK ID="skin" REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="skin.css" />
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>
<table align="center" height=90%  width=80% class="themeWidth" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td height="79" class="themeLogo">
 <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
        <tr>
          <td valign="left" class="themeDNNLogo">[LOGO]</td>
          <td valign="right" class="themeDNNLogo">[BANNER]</td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="102" align="left" valign="top" class="themeMenu"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td height="30" colspan="2" valign="top"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
              <tr>
                <td width="100%" nowrap>[SOLPARTMENU]</td>
                <td align="right" nowrap>[LOGIN]&nbsp;</td>
              </tr>
            </table></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td valign="left" nowrap class="OtherTabs">[CURRENTDATE]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td valign="top" nowrap class="OtherTabs">&nbsp;[BREADCRUMB]</td>
          <td align="right" valign="top" nowrap class="OtherTabs">[USER]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td align="center" colspan="3" class="othertabs" id="toppane" runat="server" width="100%" nowrap></td>
        </tr> 
        <tr>
          <td colspan="2"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
              <tr valign="top">
                <td class="themeLeft" id="LeftPane" visible="true" runat="server" style="padding-top:25px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:10px;"></td>
                <td style="padding:10px;padding-top:25px;" id="ContentPane" runat="server"></td>
                <td class="themeRight" id="RightPane" visible="true" runat="server" style="padding-top:25px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:15px;"></td>
              </tr>
            </table></td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="32" valign="bottom" class="themeFooter"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td height="32" align="center" class="themeMini">[COPYRIGHT]</td>
   <td height="32" align="center" class="themeMini">[TERMS]</td> 
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</center>
</BODY>
<HTML>

I added the !DOCTYPE at the top before the header section in the above HTML and Im still not getting CSS elements getting applied.

What am I doing wrong here?

The CSS not being applied has no relation with the doctype.

Don't forget you should reference the toppane as #dnn_toppane or give it a class and use that.
