Question

Up until now, I considered myself a decent programmer but now I am having doubts.

My folder structure is like below

Root
 |
 |--- Images (folder)
 |
 |--- Inc (folder)
 |     |
 |     |--- main.css
 |      --- autocomplete.css
 | 
 |--- start.aspx

I had my css file linked in start.aspx

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

But that was messing up the style… After long frustrating day, I just changed it to

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

just to test one more useless possibility & it worked. It was working fine with / in start before & still works on production server…

I dont understand… Why suddenly css stopped working?

Don’t be so hard on yourself – stuff happens. 😀

The leading “/” should resolve to the site root.

Using just “styles” would look for a styles folder in the current directory.

What browser were you using? Did the problem occur in one or every one?
