To bad this doesn't work. You don't seem to understand the issue. The
problem is that using the style sheet is not included properly.

e.g., in the main html file I have

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="styles/main.css" TYPE="text/css">

But when I include the main file the styles/main.css is referenced from the
directory of that file... but there is not styles/main.css from in that
directory of that file unless it happens to be the root.

Got any more bright ideas?
