Re: R: Re: external CSS style sheets problem

Quite a party it was I see looking back!

For me, I "always" use paths starting with a /.  It removes all the
confusion, well, after you understand that it's still a virtual path set by
the apache server.

I hate no front slash in almost anything.  I hate ../.../... even WORSE!

So my advice, go back the the beginning and use front slashes, put your CSS
it it's own folder under the Document root, and instead of just copying
source, learn what it does (or is supposed to do).
