Oops, my bad. I missed the slash in front. I've never run into a
problem using this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Site CSS" href="/includes/site.css" />

and I've never placed a period at the beginning.


But you raise an interesting point. Is the server telling the browser
where the doc root is, or is the browser just guessing by dumping
everything after the domain name and using what's left as the doc
root.
