Ok this is going to be a little hard for me to explain so please bear with me I made a site with a free css template in dreamweaver and everything looked great, I previewed it in my browser (firefox) and it looked exactly like I thought it would... sweet Then before replacing my original crapy looking site with my new CSS template site I uploaded the site to a domain name that I own (which was not in use) and it worked great apart from the fact that I had to follow the folder name on the site to get to it What I mean is the free template was called 'the reckoning' and when I downloaded it, it came inside a folder called the reckoning so I uploaded it to the testing domain and I had to go to www.mydomain.com/thereckoning for it to work and I didnt like that much but I thought ok, all I have to do it is change the name of the file 'the reckoning' to index or better still take the images, index.html and the style.css and put them on my other site and it will work But it didnt now the site only has text and some bullet points and stuff its a real mess it worked ok in Internet Explorer for a while then it stopped working I have deleted all of the stuff that was originally on my site so there should be nothing conflicting with my CSS file When I uploaded the new site I also made sure to upload the images folder aswell, Also I tried deleting the images folder and just having the images but to no avail Please help Thanks
the css template has absolute paths or relative paths in whole html. like its <img src="www.mydomain.com/thereckoning/images/image.jpg"> or <img src="thereckoning/images/image.jpg"> or <img src="images/image.jpg"> it would be also be nice if you send a link to preview. vineet
Thanks for your reply the site is http://crabrevenge.com Also the template has an uneditable thing at the top of the page to call the style sheet <***link hr*****ef="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Alex/Desktop/fkd/fkdmusic/reckoning/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen***" /*****> **** so it shows up correctly Could this be causing problems also?
<head href="style.css"> <link href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Alex/Desktop/fkd/fkdmusic/reckoning/style.css"> are these both stylesheet same. secondly "document and settings" path will not work on server. whats your directory structure on server. you have "www" folder and what all files you have in it related to template. vineet
Well I have my /public_html/ file > (Crabrevenge > cgi-bin- and everything else is located in here including my images, index.html, style.css on my remote server) The template wont let me change the directory its grayed out <link href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Alex/Desktop/fkd/fkdmusic/reckoning/style.css"> Yea both the style.css are the same thx again for your help
normaly the structure is public_html/images public_html/stylesheet public_html/index.html public_html/otherpages.html which shows the index.html by default on typing the domain url. either you should do it this way or you should go into the control panel and redirect the domain to folder url. vineet
mate, take off the heighlited code from index.html file when you take that off make sure your style.css file is in root directory , if it happens to be in a folder you'll have to change it accordingly. for ex. if your style.css is in a folder called css thn you have to change the path as "css/style.css" also change this code as well man, body { background-color: #021414; } your site looks jst black can't read nything hope this helps Cheers
you can open /templates/crabtemplateGREEN.dwt and correct that stylesheet document and setting path vineet
