    The full url is always preferred. Links usually stay the same but relative paths do not.

    located this interior the suited area of the cyber internet pages you %. the stylesheet ideal to: <link href="mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text textile fabrics/css"> bear in mind that the course to "mystylesheet.css" will substitute interior the adventure that your HTML techniques are in different folders than your css document.

  • Probably "../../css/style.css" because it doesn't have to access your domain and translate "www.domain.com" to an IP address.

    To be honest, it really doesnt matter which you use

    use the ../../ reference

    The server knows were your directory is and anonymity is good.

    Both should work however.
