**bugga**

this problem has been bothering me for quite a while:

I kept all the fonts and border attributes in a separate file named gtext.css and put it in my "incl" folder.
e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/incl/text.css

I have a php page, which I called hello.php, is put under the root.
e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/hello.php

In hello.php, I linked the css file using the following code..

<HEAD>
....
<link href="incl/gtext.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
.....
</HEAD>

the world's perfect; I checked the hello.php with IE 6.0 and Netscape 7.1; both browsers displayed the page correctly.

the problem is; I was looking at the web statistics, and an alarming number of error hits (http code 404) keeps growing. Here is the no.1 ranked error hits:

URL (/gstyle.css); Number of error hits (179); Referer(http://www.mydomain.com/hello.php)

Of the top 10 ranking in error hits, 7 or 8 of them points at my gtext.css file.

Does it have anything to do with the lack of support from the old browers? Or do I link the file incorrectly? If so, how come I can view hello.php without any problem?

Thanks in advance!

please ignore the possible naming errors: I found out that I have text.css instead of gtext.css at the top.

This is not the root of the problem; it's just my typo (sorry)!

URL (/gstyle.css);

IS this a typo too?

**bugga**

yep it is (i'm really sorry about it)

the strange thing is, I can view hello.php perfectly (which means naming file part should not be a problem), and yet the error hits keep mounting....eerrrrr!!

I get a 404 for both pages you listed...

**Akh**

@arden,
i think mydomain.com is just a generic domain used as an example, and not his actuall domain
