I have created a page using a template (with a css file association)

It looks perfect while previewing in browser but after uploaded there is no sign of the template or the attributes of the css. It is an all white screen with the text and links in the top left corner. I am perplexed and am looking for help.

If you would like to witness the trainwreck it is located at http://www.eastsideyogaandfitness.com/gallery.html

The template is a deamweaver template. I don't think that this makes a difference because the Coffee Cup html Editor seemed to work with it fine.

Thanks in advance for your help

when I go to view your css this is what I see:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>404 Not Found</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Not Found</H1>
The requested URL /css/screen.css was not found on this server.<P>
<P>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
<HR>
<ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.eastsideyogaandfitness.com Port 80</ADDRESS>
</BODY></HTML>

I'm thinking you uploaded your style sheet in a different directory than the rest of your files...

Thanks but I have it uploaded everywhere! root directory, html folder,file folder, and I even created a css folder and put it in that.

I did the same with the template file!

Take a look at your actual CSS file.
The one at /css/screen.css is an actual html file as noted by Rebecca D.

It looks like your host may have overwritten your file.
Upload your original CSS file to /css/screen.css

Thank you Mike and Rebecca,

As it turns out I did not have the template or the css file in the proper place. I had their folders in the root drive and not in the public_html folder.

Thanks again for your help and patience with this newby!

I am building a web site for a customer using a template. When adding more links in the navigation, it moves them around and does not keep the links on one row. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? The one I added was the Webchempeels

#navigation {float:right; margin-top:74px; list-style-type:none}
#navigation #index {height:45px; width:146px; background:url(../images/left_button.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#navigation #about_us {height:45px; width:150px; background:url(../images/mid_button.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#navigation #Webchempeels {height:45px; width:150px; background:url(../images/mid_button.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#navigation #contact_us {height:45px; width:146px; background:url(../images/right_button.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#navigation li {float:right; margin:0; font-size:18px; color:#fff}
#navigation li a {display:block; height:41px; padding-top:16px; text-align:center; color:#fff; text-decoration:none}
#navigation li a:hover {color:#62acff; text-decoration:none}

#index_page #navigation #index {background:url(../images/left_button_pressed.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#about_us_page #navigation #about_us {background:url(../images/mid_button_pressed.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#Webchempeels_page #navigation #Webchempeels {background:url(../images/mid_button_pressed.png) 50% top no-repeat}
#contact_us_page #navigation #contact_us {background:url(../images/right_button_pressed.png) 50% top no-repeat}

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<ul id="navigation">
<li id="contact_us"><a href="WEBABOUTUSCONTACTrevised.mht">Contact Us</a></li>
<li id="about_us"><a href="WEBBODY.mht">Web Body</a></li>
<li id="Webchempeels"><a href="WEBCHEMPEELSMICRO.mht">Web ChemPeels</a></li>
<li id="index"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

probably the number of letters in "Web ChemPeels" is causing the whole line to wrap, some look like 146px wide, and some look like 150px wide, so when you add them all up together, are they wider that the container for your menu?.

Changed it to 146px but links are still wrapping. Also tried to change this to 146px but still wraps and moved it down into the photos. :mad:

#navigation {float:right; margin-top:74px; list-style-type:none}

Any other ideas?
