I’m having a stupid css issue I can’t seem to figure out. Here is my simple .css file:

#divBody
{
    margin-left:25px;
}
#divTrans
{
    margin:15px;
}
Body
{
    background-color:Black;
}

I link this in my pages’ tag like so:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="BodyLayout.css" />

The ‘Body’ style applies to all the pages in my site except my login page.. (index.aspx). Here’s the page’s code in question:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="index.aspx.cs" Inherits="index" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="BodyLayout.css" />
  <title>Optoma USA - Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
  <div style="text-align:left; width:990px; height:780px; background-color:White;">
  <div id="divBody">
    <form id="form1" runat="server" target="_self">
<!--The rest isn't important, I don't think

When I inline the style, it works.. but not otherwise. Like I said, it works in all of my other pages. Anyone know why this is happening?

Here’s my entire web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

I had a similar problem, mine was to do with permissions.

Your login page has to be public (so that people can access it) but you CSS script is probably in a protected folder or has permissions set to hide it.

See if putting your CSS in a public folder allows it to work.

EDIT:
Then it could be the individual file permissions in the web.config:

<location path="BodyLayout.css">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow users="?"/>
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
