[Need Help] Dreamweaver shows site correctly but crap when preview in browser

I am creating a new website in Dreamweaver and built all CSS divisions and HTML code manually to create a rough template. However although the site appears fine inside the 'design' view of Dreamweaver (CS4), when I preview it in the browser - firefox and IE both - it looks like there is no CSS at all. Let me explain with these screenshots:

It seems from the second screenshot that the CSS stylesheet is not attached with the html page but when I check the code the link to the stylesheet is very much there.

Help would be much appreciated

 

Looks like an obvious stylesheet location error to me, make sure the path to your stylesheet is specified correctly in your HTML document.

 

i think the path is pointing to drive c on your computer.. when its on live you should change path with your domain.

 

OK. let me try uploading on ftp and change the path to domain. Then I'll reply back

 

In Dreamweaver, if you point to the stylesheet before naming your file, it points to stylesheet location on your harddisk.

 

Thanks mate. I actually de-linked the stylesheet and then linked again. Problem solved

Never get confused between hard link and relative links in html or you'll get all mest up!
