i'm just messing
around with some css and have created a simple homepage.
when my html and css files are on my harddrive and i open the html file it calls on the css file without any problem.
but when i upload them both to my webspace the html doesn't call on the css file and just displays the html

the link to the css file, which is in the same directory is fine, ("href="hpage.css"). so i'm puzzled as to what else it might be.

does anyone have a clue?

apologies for length

edit: wow, do i feel silly now. i re-uploaded the files just now and it worked... guess my hosts were just being bastards yesterday...

have you tried substiuting in an absolute path, ie. href="http://my.web.server/path/style.css"
?

Have you given
it the actual web addres as the link.... i.e

"href="http://www.yoursite.com/cssfile.css" "

rather than i.e local/css.css

edit: Pissage of the mind *points upwards*

Shouldn't really make a difference.
(Which isn't to say it won't.)

Did with me once.
Never did quite work out why. Perhaps it is because I'm mostly pissed.

Could be a case sensitivity thang.

Servers tend to be case sensitive, Windows is not. Also Windows sometimes lies and shows filenames in lowercase when they are actually in uppercase.

To make sure, rename the files something different, then back to what they should be, in lowercase. (Just changing a file from FOO.HTML to foo.html under some Windowses won't necessarily change its 'real' name. This is due to stupid, copout, bug-for-bug backward compatibility with MS-DOS.) Then reupload and try again.

it appears
to have been my hosts being bastards.
but thanks for your help anyway, i'm sure it'll be useful to know at some point :)
