dummy beginer's question

[Lloyd Dupont]

I'm creating a new web site with a master page.
Imy master page is using a stylesheet
Now the problem is: what if I don't want all page in the same directory but
have some kind of hierarchy, like
www.domain.net/webapp/home.aspx
.....
www.domain.net/webapp/forum/default.aspx
and so on....

The problem is, in my MaterPage I write:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cookweb.css" />

but this is valid only in the 'wepbapp' folder.
I though I could use '/cookweb.css' but while it will work on my webserver
it won't work while I'm develping...
How could I do that?!?

I think the most common way to resolve this is by using a base class all
content pages inherit from. In the base class you use the ServerVariables
collection to get path info and write that path info and css filename into
an instance of the link element. THis can be done using the new Page.Header
property [1].

This article [1] could prove helpful as will the MapPath property.

That should have been MapPath method [1] -- not -- property

I'll look at it! (when I'll get home).

Anyway I used that:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/cookweb.css" />
the trick is the "~/" and the runat=server head section.
And it works beautifully.

Good news. Some of my other suggestions were not even pertinent.
