Hi,

I have been updated our works website and have put some pages into a NEW FOLDER. That worked fine but they dont link to the images or the .css

If you imainge the website is set out as follows

www.site.net
/images
/common
/NEW FOLDER
default.css
index.html
etc.html

In the NEW FOLDER, how do I get the pages to point to the css in the root? Currently is has

Code:

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

Thanks for any help

Mark

FYI a single dot is the current directory and the double dot is the level above the current directory.

pffffff MS-DOS indeed

go and visit the *NIX forum where men are men and most write there own operating system.

. and .. are common on all OSs that I've used for current and parent links. Solaris, SCO, HP-UX, Linux even windows XP has them :eek:

. They are really usefull when you are in a command line only enviroment.
