Hi Folks,
Total noob here. I've set up a css file (mystyle.css) for a couple of PHP pages but it's only styling one page. The first page has a simple 2-field form in it. When I click 'Submit Query' it links to the resulting (php) page as it should and the results are correct.

The only problem is it's a white page with black text - not affected by the .css at all (should have colourful fonts and backgrounds like the first). The mystyle.css file is in the same 'html-public' folder as the others.

I have this line in the <head> tag of both PHP files:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">

Any clues anyone?
Thanks.

Is the form response page in the same directory as the form page?

Yes it is, same folder.

Sorry, it's only local at the moment. Should I just put code in a post?

Probably a file in the wrong place or being referenced from the wrong place.

All 3 files are in the html-public folder. As mentioned both .php files have:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">

in the <head> tag.

It works for one page, not for the other ?!?

Ah, sorry, correction:

All 3 files are in html-public\testing

Does that mean it should be href="testing\mystyle.css"> ???

Wouldn't have thought so since all files are in the same directory.

No, if they're all in the same place then no extra paths are needed for any of them.

Does anyone have any more clues on this ?!?

Crisis over. I realised I didn't have my text in <p> tags on the second page. Noobs eh, what'll they think of next?
