Hi there
I have a simple HTML page using a single CSS file. The file link looks like this
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main.css" type="text/css"/>
Works fine when published
When using the F11 preview in HTML Editor, the preview window cannot find the css file unless I give it an absolute path:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="c:/myvbcode/v7winv2/package/web/css/main.css" type="text/css"/>
Is there a setting in the Editor which will allow me to tell the F11 Preview where my CSS file is please
Thanks

Try removing the leading "/" in the href:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" type="text/css"/>
Other than that, if your local file path is correct, the css file should be found.
For example, your index.html file would need to be here:
c:/myvbcode/v7winv2/package/web/index.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" type="text/css"/>
Other than that, if your local file path is correct, the css file should be found.

c:/myvbcode/v7winv2/package/web/index.html

You might have done this but load your css file in the editor do save as and put your css file togethr with index.html. Sometimes you can get issues that are illogical but if you havent done that see what happens

This sounds like you don't have your css files inside a css directory on the root directory of your site. In other words, wherever the index.html file is there should be a css folder with your css files in it right there. If you don't have that then it won't be able to find them.
Also, just to be sure, what version of the HTML Editor are you using?
