Also needing CSS help ...
I shall confess up front that I'm working in Frontpage and still learning ... which might be the whole problem anyway. But who knows ...
I'm doing some editing in a site and for some reason all of the pages in one particular folder have decided to completely ignore the CSS (not created by me or fiddled with and working fine elsewhere).
Initially I noticed that some of the pages in this folder were appearing with defaults (Times New Roman, blue links, purple followed links ... I vomit). So I cleverly used pages which were working fine, saved as, and copied the text across. At that point the pages were all looking like those in the rest of the site, no problems.
Then I moved the folder and placed it within another folder in the site. Since that time none of the pages will reflect the CSS. I've re-typed and copied and pasted in the link rel for the CSS to no avail. The other folders located in the same place are unaffected.
None of this has gone live yet, so I can't give a URL, however my CSS link looks like this:
(I have also tried it without the dots)
... and there are no tags or similar which should override all of the CSS ... at least that I can see.
Any clues would be muchly appreciated ...

Here is another good reason besides crappy coding to not use Frontpage. Included in the Frontpage 2002 licensing agreement (which no one ever reads any way)
I would say that it would be a path problem. Where is your stylesheet in your webtree in relation to your other files.

I know Frontpage is pants, but I'm yet to convince the office we need to get something else ... so I'm a bit stuck for now. Working hard on it though!
As for the webtree ... hope this makes some sort of sense:
MAIN WEB FOLDER
> CONTENT FOLDER > MEDIA FOLDER > various_pages.htm (not working with CSS)
> CONTENT FOLDER > NEWSLETTER FOLDER > various_pages.htm (working fine)
> CONTENT FOLDER > various_pages.htm (also working fine)
> OTHER FOLDERS (working fine)
index&frames_stuff.htm (working fine)
ethics.css
Thanks for your help.

Is this a Windows or a Linux server?
If it is a Linux server, then using a / in front of your link will always force it up to the document root.
If it is Windows server, this link might help you.

It's a windows server and - thank you thank you - the information in the link worked perfectly!
