[Radiant] External javascripts, stylesheets, etc.

[Sean Cribbs]

Mike,

Not exactly.  Another layout or page would need to refer to the Radiant page
(CSS, Javascript) by its URL for it to be used.

The real reason they need a layout is to set the content-type.  Other than
that, it makes good sense to just dump the content of the page when it's CSS
or Javascript, unless you're doing something programmatic (i.e. Radius tags)
in them.

So, to create your own text-based assets in Radiant, you would simply enter
the content of the file, assign it the Stylesheet or Javascript layout
template, take note of the "slug" (click "more" near the title) and
construct the appropriate URL to the asset based on its slug, parent slugs
and root URL path of your application.  Then you can use that path/URL in
your layouts, snippets, or other pages.

Hope this helps!
