Problem with CSS - 11/26/2006 0:32:33   
I was trying to clean up some of the HTML of all of the submenus of my web page and I accidentally deleted this line:

<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="../../style.css">

It was in the middle of some code that I wanted to meticulously delete off of every single page (over 400 pages) and I didn't notice it until I published just a small number of what I had edited.

All of a sudden, everything is jacked. All the pages are wildly distorted.

It takes a while but I noticed what I did wrong. I put that line back in and it did seem to fix it for the index page but all of my submenu pages are still jacked.

The weird thing about it is that when I publish updates, everything displays on IE the way it is supposed to.

This really sucks because I no longer have that WYSIWYG look and feel anymore.

It seems like I can get a page or two to revert back to its orginal CSS but everything else is jacked. The CSS is still the same.

I am very much a newbie on CSS so my question is:

Is there anyway to get everything back to where it was? The CSS file is still the same so is there some sort of way that I can do something like, hey every page, just look at that ONE CSS file so that everything can be displayed on FrontPage like it used to.

Any insight or comments would greatly be appreciated...

It sounds like it's something to do with the path to the CSS file not being correct - I don't know how FrontPage sets up it's file paths but I suppose it's possible that if your sub-pages are in a lower directory to your home page then the path could be incorrect. If the subpages were at the same level as the homepage then the CSS would work there too.

Does it work when you publish the site to the webserver?

In a way, that kind of makes sense (if I understand you correctly because I have limited knowledge on FrontPage).

Let me know if this assumption is correct.

In the navigation page, the homepage is at the top level. Underneather it are all of my submenus.

The home page is correctly displaying but all the submenus are jacked. However, all of my articles (pages that are linked from the submenus) display fine. And all of those pages are on the same level of the home page but to the left of it (that is, they are actually above the sub menu pages). I placed it that way so I could get the navigation from the home page to show up on all of those pages.

If that is indeed the case, then what can I do with that CSS path to get it display like it once did?

I think we need to see a link so we can work out where it's going wrong

Sometimes I feel like such a dork...

I have another web site with the identical template. I took a look at their sub menu pages and I found this line:

<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="style.css">

I put that in there and all of a sudden, everything works fine. It displays exactly the way it gets published. The CSS file was always fine but it looks like how it got pointed to it was the problem.

It's usually the first thing to check
