Attributes

Attribute	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.
AlternateHeader	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. For example, add `AlternateHeader="myHeader.aspx"` to the Project element at the beginning of the Onet.xml file to specify myHeader.aspx as the name of the file that provides an alternate header.
