styles are not inherited when content page is not in root folder but subfolder

Question

Hi,

I have a MasterPage at Rool level.

I have a content page:

login.aspx - inside a subfolder ~/members,

now anything that has runat="server" inside masterpage is not inherting its styles in login.aspx page but if i put my login.aspx in root folder its working

iv also tried to link the stylesheet in login.aspx page like this

  <link href="../App_Themes/blue/Unbound.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

and in my master page my link to stylesheet is like this:

  <link href="~/App_Themes/blue/Unbound.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Answer 1

In the master page, add a runat="server" attribute to the stylesheet link. Otherwise it won't pick up the absolute path (e.g. the ~/).
