    ok people i designed a website for my boss and when he uploaded it its gone wrong.

    it uses CSS and he says the main stuff is there but the styles just gone, its not there.

    now seeing as i don't do the actual uploading i just need to know if theres something particular iv missed out on my part or if theres something else my boss needs to do.

    thanx for any help in advance

    note:first time we've both tried uploading a CSS site

    edit: can't find a tutorial that tells me how to actually upload css sites

    First off, did you use separate style and html files? If so, both files need to be in the same folder location, as referenced by the link in the HTML file.

    yes it all went up as it was saved in term of the file names and placements
    i really don't get it.

    i used only the last needed extensions, like:
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />

    it all works fine offline.

    do i need to do the whole address? i wouldn't think that would matter... -.-

    i made sure with my boss that all the files went up
    including the css

    hm thats a weird problem. naa you wouldnt need the whole address. usually from my own personal reasons as a developer i put the stylesheets in a seperate folder called css and references it using ./css/styles.css in your case. but what you've done is fine to my knowledge just cant figure out whats gone wrong lol

    since you dont have control over the uploading part .. im thinking the css might have got moved to somewhere else. so when the html is loooking 'style.css' it cannot find it. thats all i can think of at the moment. nearly 5am and so brain is a bit dead at the moment lol

    if you got an url to the site that is failing it easier to find out whats wrong :)

    website is in temp state atm, boss uploads the temp when my one doesnt work...
    he thinks its a problem with servers, the images aren't working but they in the same place i left em.

    its all gone up how it should...its just not working, code is sound. it even works on one of my old web hosts, so i dont get it.
    (web host is a free one: webs.com)
