    I am running Apache on Windows. My DocumentRoot is:

    C:/apache/web sites

    The site is at:

    C:/apache/web sites/mysite/index.php

    In index.php there is a common include file (header.php) with a stylesheet link as follows:

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

    So far so good. But I have a directory within "mysite":

    C:/apache/web sites/mysite/advertising/index.php

    Again in index.php there is the include file, but obviously the style sheet reference is pointing to the current folder.

    I tried changing the path of the stylesheet link to "/styles.css" and "../styles.css" but this obviously will give the root file an invalid path.

    How can I satisfy both conditions? Do I have to specify a RewriteBase or something?

    Just use the absolute URL path to the stylesheet. No need to mess with rewriting paths. 

    
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yoursite.com/styles.css" />
