file hierarchy works halfway

[jmdirc]

This is what I got:

--desktop--
-main folder-
index.html
page.css
-sub-page folder-
page2.html

Both web pages use the single CSS file. When pulled up individually, the pages work great, everything works, the html and the CSS.

Here is the problem. When I follow a link from either page to the other, the html loads, but the CSS file isn't applied. Any suggestions? Oh, I'm on a Mac 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4.

What I've tried - removing the sub-page folder and re-linking -- still don't work; renaming the file inside the sub-folder -- nope. Dragged everything over to a Win 2000 with IE 6, won't even open the page link.

Will appreciate any help.

I assume you are running this without the benfit of a local webserver setup.

It's how you link to your css.

When you are in index.html the css file is in the same folder. When you are in page2.html the css file is back one level.

Your choices are to either copy the css file to the subfolder or state the link to it explicitly with the full path like: c:\blah\blah\style.css.

Complicated further by Safari which, when run locally, may require links to be prefixed by file:// instead of http:// which would be used on the web, or some such thing.

Thank you.

Your up early. 10 more minutes and I can go to breakfast -

Merry Christmas.

What's late, what's early?

I stayed up late (4:30 am EST) which means I went to bed in the early morning hours

I usually do that on weekends and holidays.

I went to bed about 12:30am

Woke up in the morning, got dressed, went down to the kitchen made a cup of tea. Took it down to the living room and switched the computer on. While waiting for the computer to boot up I glanced up at the clock, the time was 4:05am!!!!!!

Normally I wake up at 6:15am every morning, no matter what time I go to bed.

Aw, how cute! Joe, you were so eager to catch Santa

Wasn't Santa yesterday?

Here at 6:30 am we were looking at the full moon in the early morning light - which is unusual for this part of China as the sky is usually too thick with stuff other than fresh air.
