How do I link to an external stylesheet in Ruby on Rails?

Question

I'm trying to link to the YUI reset stylesheet in my RoR layout using the following statement...

<%= stylesheet_path("http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/reset/reset-min.css") %>

but this path is being echoed on my page instead of being applied. I got this syntax from the the rails docs. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Try this

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application','http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/reset/reset-min.css' %>

Try stylesheet_link_tag as described in the Rails API Docs

the link is not working. Its always better not to give external links if answer can be concise. – hrishikeshp19 Mar 10 '12 at 03:42
