CSS issue with the <link> tag

[Yata]

Heres the problem:

I'm re-doing my site and I'm having trouble using my style sheets in the HTML files that are found in folders. Heres an example.

I have an entire folder named YataZen.
Inside that folder is index.html and a folder called style.
Inside style are my CSS and corresponding images.
Now, in the YataZen folder, I made a new folder called Media.
Inside Media, I have media.html. It uses the same code as my index page.

But now media.html displays as if the style sheets are not there. I use two style sheets,

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

What am I doing wrong? If I can't place the HTML files in folders, how can people have URLS such as www.yatazen.com/media/whatever.html.
Meaning the /media/ would represent a folder.

Thanks,
Yata

Aha. I found a work around which I doubt is the right way, but hey, what works, works:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="www.yatazen.com/style/style.css" />

Well, maybe you should stick to the basics. Use the WYSIWYG eiditor instead of complicated HTML.

What?
The only two languages I know are XHTML and CSS. I don't want to revert to using tables, if thats what you mean.

your code:

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

must be:

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

note: the / that I inserted before the style means that the browser will read in the root directory. The page can't be viewed properly in your computer but rather it can be properly viewed when you publish it.

Thank you!

I'll just change the <link> tags right before I publish it then.
