Rails 3.1 asset pipeline css styles in 404 static page

Question

I am building a static public/404.html page. Before Rails 3.1 I can reference it with the public/style.css. But now with asset pipeline I am not sure what to link to. I heard that the styles will be compiled into asset/application.css. But on production it will come with a timestamp.

What is the best approach to style the static 404.html with the normal styles I work with?

Answer 1

It's true that the assets in 3.1 come with a digest in production, but you can still use the regular file, meaning that you can link to /assets/application.css and you won't have any problems (try it! :)).
