Re: link to stylesheet in jsp doesn't work

by dusty :: Rate this Message:

I think you were using this JSP template as a view for a Struts2 action, hence the mailing list choice. If that is the case, just remember that the URL is relative to the action and not the path of the dispatched JSP template.

Thank you Christian. This has solved the problem.

I'd like to thank Martin Gainty for also helping. The solution Martin proposed (use 'css/pp.css' rather than ../css/pp.css or something similar) did solve the problem for the first access, but return access via 'input' or 'success' results still did not find the file. The solution proposed by Christian (href="<s:url value='css/pp.css'/>") works in all situations.

Try this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<s:url value='/css/pp.css'/>"
