"CSS"

Hello..I've just finshed designing a website which I'm trying to upload for hosting, only its not reading the CSS files.Everythings there, but it It looks a mess.Where should I host them??I'm royally confused.Any help would be hugely apreciated...AW

One thing. The image paths that are referred to in your CSS file are incorrect. They are referencing files on your computer still. For example your body CSS is: body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image:url(file:///C|/Users /Mr%20Woggle/Documents/ollie/rrfal4-Brdr.jpg);
}


For a start i would advise uploading all your images into a folder called images which you need to create within the htdocs folder. You should then be able to alter you CSS to reference those images, so the above code would be: body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image:url(../images/rrfal4-Brdr.jpg);
}
.

Hi Andy, without 'seeing' your site it is difficult to suggest a solution. But one of the main problems may be where you have placed your css file.

If your page calls the css file like this - from within the page's header -

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

Then the css file should be placed in the main directory along with your pages.

If your page calls the css file like this -

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

then the mycssfile file should be in the cssfolder folder, which should also be in visible within the main directory.

If you see what I mean....

Hi 'andy w' and welcome to the forums.

If you are on Freeola's standard hosting package just upload everything to the HTDOCS directory.

Make sure your home page is named index.htm/html/shtml or php

EDIT: Just re-read your post. Make sure your CSS file has been FTP'd and you are linking to it correctly.
If you are still stuck perhaps you can post your domain name?
