Links to images and CSS

I have a website which for the most part works fine (I've inherited it).

I'm having the darndest time getting it to play nice with Coffeecup.

The previews don't find the images nor CSS, regardless of what browser I try.

I'm not sure if I'm importing it to Coffeecup incorrectly or I need to give it a relative root or something.

I feel like the competent mechanic who can't get the hood opened on the car. I'm sure the answer is very dumb.

Give us a link and let us have a look. Otherwise we would only be guessing.

Sounds like you do not have the ../ in front of what you are looking for, or you do have it there and it does not need to be. Yes, if you could provide a link as Inger suggested we could have a closer look.

Well the link won't be much good because it works fine on the website, but yes, the paths are not relative. I'll fix that and holler if it doesn't work. Thanks again :)

Joe, how did you acquire the html file in the first place? Did you visit the site and save it with your browser? If you did, all the links will be changed and any assets (images etc) will be given a path to a folder on your computer. If this is the problem, you can either edit all the references to the various assets, or, with your browser make it display the source code, and then save the file that way. You'll then have to go hunting for the various images, css files and such, though.
