struts problem determining the location of css file.

Hi,

It's relative path to you jsp or html file.
If you jsp/html put in project/WEB and your .css put in project/WEB/css,
so href should be href="./css/styles.css"

sompol

but if you define href like "/css/style.css" that mean it is absolute path and you have to put .css file in root folder.

the problem is I am using struts and the urls to access struts does not represent the actual location of the jsp file

for example to go to the login page I use http://localhost/project/login.do, but login.jsp resides in project/web/jsp/login.jsp

hence i think my relative path should not be with respect to the url. is there any other way.

Thanks for your help

Is this CSS called from login.jsp?

Try to use this as well
<link rel="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" href="css/styles.css" >

The css is called from another file which is part of struts tiles

use the base tag to specify the base url for your pages

or try to use this one.

href="<%=request.getContextPath%>/web/css/style.css"

thanks to all your comments.

since I am using struts I will go with the boonleng's solution.

Thanks again
