Hi

Im new to EE and i have a problem, and that is that the files that i keep outside the template folder (I have them in the EE folder root) wont apply, EXCEPT when i open up the site. If i navigate to one of the other pages it isnt working, same if i go back to the startpage.

example:

this one is working as it is a template:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{stylesheet='styles/responsive'}"/>

but if I do it this way and place the css file in the EE folder root:

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

it doesnt work… except when first opening up the page as mentioned above.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

(using EE locally btw)

Use an absolute path:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{path='site_index'}responsive.css"/>

or if that won’t work (because your site url is configured wrong)
http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/admin/general_configuration.html

try

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost/responsive.css"/>

For more info read about “Absolute and Relative Paths in html”

the first one didnt work, but the second did. I cant see anything wrong with my site url ( if what u mean with that is the root directory?).... which is http://localhost/PROJECTS/EE/

Any guesses why the first one didnt work?
