    is it a separate style sheet document (*.css file), or is it embedded in the page (<style> TAG)?

    In the first case, try to write this line of code between the HEAD and the /HEAD tags:

    Code:
    <link href="YOUR_FILE_HERE.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    i have that in the head and it will preview correctly but when the actucal file is put to the server all the css and source files are no show. I can't figure out why it does that?

    maybe you've got the wrong path...

    i.e.
    Code:
    <link href="C:/WebDesign/YourSite/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    try with the absolute path:
    Code:
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    if it's in the same folder, or
    Code:
    <link href="css_folder/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    Same Problem

    I am having the same problem. My HTML is below. Any help would be appreciated.

    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>index.html</title>
    <link href="_css/thrColElsHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    The MIME character set attribute for UTF-8 is UTF-8. Character sets are case-insensitive.
    put your css file in the root directory with your html files.
    underscore => _ what are you thinking?

    try this <link href="thrcolelshdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
