Cant get CSS stylesheet to connect to pages

Hi Warriors,

I am doing a 'Silo' site that is good for SEO by using folders like this:

Property Clean Out Michigan, LLC.

But I cant seem to get the CSS and theme files to connect to the pages in the folders.

For example, the page seen here: Property Clean Out Michigan, LLC.

Should look the same here: Property Clean Out Michigan, LLC.

I used full path URLs on the pages in the folder back to the CSS files.

Any ideas?

    Wow.....I figured this out.....I put a full path pointing to an includes file, and I removed that.


    So the includes code now is: <?php include 'main-nav.php';?>

    and simply uploaded the main-nav.php file to that folder.....and it looks all good now.


    Thanks anyways!

    Bret,

    There are still problems with the other pages of your site. Do you need assistance with this?

    Bret,

    Use this:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
      define    ('CSS_DIR', 'http://www.propertycleanoutmi.com/css/');
    ?>
    Then when you want to call any css file, use:

    PHP Code:
    <?php include(CSS_DIR.'cssFile1.css'); ?>
    <?php     include(CSS_DIR.'cssFile2.css'); ?>
    That should fix your site.

      Big Squid,

      Is there a reason for including files using the remote address in this case?

        It's not a remote address. It's the local server.

          For PHP that is a remote address. It will include the data using unnecessary HTTP requests which is a). slower, and b). can cause higher bandwidth counter values for hosting account
          Also, I cannot see the reason for using PHP at all to include CSS in this case instead of using HTML <link>.
