Help with uploading files to site please!!!

[Trickac14]

Ok, I have my site in dreamweaver built in xhtml and css. My problem is when uploading my site through ftp only the html files shows up on the site and my background or anything related to my style.css does not show up. It shows that the file style.css has uploaded but it does not show when you enter the site. Everything is perfectly fine when I preview through dreamweaver though. Please I need immediate help this is driving me crazy!!!!

is your stylesheet being referenced properly by the .html files? same directory... the right name... etc...

yes, what I'm thinking is its not linking the style.css to the index somehow. Should I have it like this if I have my style.css in the public_html folder?

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

Or should it be linking to what it is under in my documents since I am uploading all of my files to the public_html like this?

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

just keep the stylesheet in the same directory as your index file and make it:

href="style.css"

If I have style.css in "myfolder" and I upload it to the public_html it should work correct shouldn't it?

 

[shockie]

yes as long as index is referencing to the stylesheet as

href="style.css"

otherwise it will be looking for a public_html folder under your myfolder.
