I've searched throughout the internets and can't seem to put my finger as to why the background color listed in my .css file is not loading on a webpage I'm creating for my wife. The issue is throughout all the pages.

I worked on the site in Dreamweaver and when I test it in there (via the preview/debug in browswer button), it works fine...

I did notice tough that the font colors are taking though... So I'm a little perplexed. I loaded the page up (my host is Godaddy) and it can be viewed by going to imageredemption . com

I didn't want to post up all my code as it would have been somewhat long.

Any advice on how to fix this issue is tremendously appreciated!

This is your CSS file.

HTML Code:

<!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/lay.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/1.3.33 Server at imageredemption.com Port 80</ADDRESS>
</BODY></HTML>

Thanks Chrishirst. I'm not 100% sure I understand...

I have the CSS file saved on the site in a folder (imageredemption.com/css/lay.css)

Where did you pull that CSS from?

In my index.html, I have the following code writting:

Code:

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
  <meta name="generator" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
        <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="css/lay.css">
  <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />
  <title>ALECIA RODRIGUEZ || IMAGE REDEMPTION</title>

css/lay.css refers to a folder BELOW the level of the current document.

the folder where your stylesheet is should be refered to from the siteroot, as in

/css/lay.css
