the href portion of the the link tag for including external stylesheets is confusing to me, especially since most folks don’t use an entire URL.
For example, in
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyles.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
if I wanted to put my stylesheet in a subdirectory off wwwroot, what would be the difference in attempting to reference it via:
a) href=”/someDir/mystyles.css”
b) href=”./someDir/mystyles.css”
c) href=”someDir/mystyles.css”
Thanks Much
This is basic relative URL syntax. There is nothing CSS specific about this.
Assuming this appears in
http://example.com/foo/bar/index.htmlhttp://example.com/someDir/mystyles.csshttp://example.com/foo/bar/someDir/mystyles.csshttp://example.com/foo/bar/someDir/mystyles.cssAnd you didn’t mention
href="../someDir/mystyles.css"Which would be:
http://example.com/foo/someDir/mystyles.css
