HREF for links

HREF for links

D.I.C Head Joined: 6 Jan, 2009 Posts: 173 My Contributions	Hi everybody, I just have a quick question about HREF syntax. Why does this work: CODE <LINK REL=StyleSheet TYPE="text/css" HREF="http://serverAddress/StyleSheet.css" > but not this: CODE <LINK REL=StyleSheet TYPE="text/css" HREF="http://serverAddress/LongFolderName/ StyleSheet.css" > ???? Are there any correct ways to make an HREF attribute span multiple lines, for readability purposes? Thanks, Zel2008

I mean http://serveraddress/includes/style.css you should also refrain from camel-casing your names as it leads to confusion in web development. This isn't Java. keep it all lowercase and use "_" underscores for spaces.

The example you gave: Http://Serveraddress/Includes/Style.Css Is almost exactly how I have my style sheet, it just isn't in "Includes", it's in a different folder name that's a bit longer. Since I already have almost 120 files, it's a little late to change "camel casing", as you put it, but I'll remember that for next time. Thanks, Zel2008

Here are some examples that should help you out, enclose your values in " " and you should be ok. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.3
