[wellylug] OT: Argh! What is wrong?

Tue May 17 08:06:06 NZST 2005

The actual page is here. It's a work in progress so don't pay too much
attention to the content.
http://www.mowgli.net.nz/~rob/asterisk/asterisk_main.html

The stylesheet is referenced in the <head> section like this.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./css/general.css" />

I'm thinking it's something to do with Apache. Same browser, same page
source, different result. A file:// versus http:// quirk.
