Why doesn't my css styleing or images show in CF10?

[Guest]

I just installed cf10, in developer mode with the stand alone server, on my window7 machine. I can access the admminstrator/index.cfm or homepage.cfm from CF and they view fine. When I access one of my previously generated index.cfm page, none of my external css stylesheet settings work. Infact I tried adding the css setting directly and linked an image directly, nothing is showing.

This is my path: C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\HTML\clarkmedia\index.cfm

What am I doing wrong?

To start with, CFIDE is a ColdFusion system directory. So you should not be developing code in it. I would strongly suggest you move your code, that is, the HTML directory, one level lower, to:

C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\HTML\clarkmedia\index.cfm

To view that page, direct the browser to

http://localhost:8500/HTML/clarkmedia or http://localhost:8500/HTML/clarkmedia/index.cfm

Now, suppose your style sheet and image are, respectively, C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\HTML\clarkmedia\style\myStyle.css and C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\HTML\clarkmedia\images\myPic.jpg. Then you could use something like

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/HTML/clarkmedia/style/myStyle.css" type="text/css">

and

<img src="/HTML/clarkmedia/images/myPic.jpg">
