Help, How To Get CSS for different than root directory?

It is my first site with CSS, and I am facing my first CSS problem ever!

Here is what I've done so far:

* I uploaded my CSS folder into the root directory.
* I uploaded my index pages and other pages into the root directory.

Below is the link for the CSS:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">


==> Result: everything is fine.

Here is the problem:

I created a new directory, and then uploaded a page to this directory.

Here is the problem: That page in the new directory (http://www.mysite/newdir/page.html) doesn't take the CSS specificities.

My question: Should I upload the CSS file in each directory? I think I have to add this line: ../css/style.css

So that <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css"> will become:

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

Who can help me?

 

I've just resolved the problem.

 

It would have been the polite thing to explain how you resolved the issue, as there are likely others with the same question.

A possible solution would be creating a symbolic link for newdir/css pointing to css. This way:

cd newdir
ln -s ../css .

Code (markup):

That way you can use the same "href" for your stylesheet on all your pages
.

 

If you place a / (slash) symbol first, the path will be counted from the website root directory. So the solution is

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