Master page acting weird

Question

So I applied this master page to two files..one inside the same folder(file1.aspx) as the master page..another outside(file2.aspx)..master page is applying alright to file2.aspx BUT not completely..a TD's bgcolor is missing..and ONLY that..why so ?

BOTH files got no code of their own yet..just the application of the master page

[Edit]

this is the address to the master page in both the files

MasterPageFile="~/templates/master1.master"

both files got no tag..nothing..just the application of this master page

Answer 1

All css links all master page resolved relative to the page location, not the master location. Is it possible that you two pages are in folders at different nesting level and you did not account for it?
