Re: [LUG] css file in site root called from a subdirectory

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, i will look into that,  I don't know the aboslute path,  on my 
server for www.paigntonrugby.net I am given a ist of directories and 
have to put things in httpdocs,

What I have seems to work fine locally, and fine when uploaded to the 
server (well the method being used worked for my own site),

I have just fixed my web site again as it was broken, with 6 errors,  
there are some on the other pages,  I want to type text, the  leave a 
gap, betwen paragraphs so I wil have

paragraph 1
   blank line
paragraph 2

I am not sure why this is not working when I am using the <p> </p> tags.

anyway, I am geting there slowly, If I take these out everything is 
together with no spacing, but at least it validates. not sure if it's 
because of the css tags, that this is not working properly, or should i 
set up the tag for a paragraph in the css file. same goes for the <ul> 
tag for lists however this seemed to clash with one of my css tags, so I 
removed the list tags, and it worked,  not as a list but displayed the 
links across the page,

Paul
