[RESOLVED] css trouble

[ninjanutz]

im having trouble importing an external style sheet. i dunno wats wrong. i saved the text document as a text with the .css extension and i made the <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='text.css'> link to it in the document for the site but wen i go to the site it doesnt work. could someone help me out?

this is what I use:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/stylesheets/default.css">

where the css is stored in a stylesheets subdirectory of root

[ninjanutz]

still doesnt work and i cant figure out why

[ninjanutz]

ok i fixed the problem by taking an existing style sheet and copying it and changing the contents but it seems even wen i add the .css extension it still maintains the .txt does anyone know why this is?

How are you changing the extension?
In windows if you don't have extensions set to display and you right click to rename: test.css what you'll actually get is test.css.txt.
Open thefile in notepad and do a Save As "test.css" <include the quotes>

If your ending up with styles.css.txt and your using Windows, open up a Windows Explorer Window, Tools -> Folder Options -> View Tab -> Untick Hide Extensions for known file types.

thanks but my friend made a batch file for me that converts it

That doesn't help.... it just hides the extension.... but it's still on the file...

ninjanutz - After you upload your CSS file, try clearing out your cache in your webbrowser, that's probably part of your problem. I know I've had issues with that before myself.
