General Need help with CSS div coding or stylesheet

    Hello, anyone who may be able to help out --

    I downloaded the "Musicagency" template to use, uploaded all the files in the ZIP folder, but it does not follow the style sheet; or at least it doesn't look like it did on the freewebsitetemplates.com page.

    Here's my web page: www.angelfire.com/music5/dayle/index.html

    Here's the template I downloaded and how I expected to see my page:
    https://freewebsitetemplates.com/preview/musiciansagency/

    I know very basic HTML and have never worked with CSS. I've been reading, but it's more or less Greek -- no: Ancient Greek -- to me!

    Your expert help is much appreciated!!

    Thanks,

    DayleVS

    try fixing your code
    Code:
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="[COLOR=red]/[/COLOR]style.css"/>
    to this
    HTML:
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    
    looks like you added a back slash ="/style.css" where it shouldn't be.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Angelfire seemed to work slightly better that way, so I changed the code. However, changing it back to the original (which you instructed), gives me my old background style and no frames. In fact, the only thing that seems to have changed is the background color: www.angelfire.com/music5/dayle/index.html

    I opened the ZIP file into a new account on freehostia.com, too, and get the same no-frame result as I got in Angelfire. I followed directions to the letter, but no dice. All the pieces seem to be there, but again, I don't know CSS yet. I'm getting the same result on both servers.

    Do they both not read this code, perhaps? I don't imagine it's a fault in the code, because it reads perfectly well in FreeWebTemplates.com's preview.

    Free Host are always a pain in the backside.
    Try deleting the files on the host.
    Unzip them on your pc.
    Upload the unziped files and directories to the host.
    If that doesn't work then get on the phone with Host Tech Support.

    Thanks. This didn't work with either host. I'll try contacting them and see what they say.

    Lets us know how it turns out. We seem to get a good share of questions about free hosts.
