Does making it:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./css/facebox.css" media="screen" />

Work?
Is the directory css or Css or CSS? Case matters sometimes.

I don't see anything wrong with what you are doing.

Hello frnd,
you'll modify the href path. Because two types of path setting is available. One is absolute. for exp. c:/css/facebox.css. Another one is relative. for exp. facebox.css. will you try first type

Re: css file doesn't load from css/file.css

about absolute.....

you will not be able to reference a CSS file on a local drive.... the absolute CSS you will need is going to be like http://domain.com/css/facbox.css....

if your CSS doesn't work try using it on the page to make sure you havn't written coded it wrong.

hope that helped!

PS....

you could try this.....

<style type="text/css">
@import 'css/facebox.css';
</style>
