It sounds like you are not using an absolute path. The way I handle a
CSS file across several pages is to have my base.html look similar to:
<html>
<head>
<title>something</title>
<link href="/media/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
The first slash in /media/css/styles.css is critical since it tells the
webserver to look at the root of the domain. If left off it will become
relative to the page you are viewing. For example:
http://localhost/my_cool_url would then yield a lookup for
http://localhost/my_cool_url/media/css/styles.css as opposed to just
http://localhost/media/css/styles.css.
It is also common pratice to use MEDIA_URL to cut down on having to
always know the media path. Using it will change simple change the url
to {{ MEDIA_URL }}css/styles.css and MEDIA_URL = "/media/" in your
settings.py. Make sure you are using the RequestContext to ensure {{
MEDIA_URL }} is displayed correctly in your templates. (This will only
work if you are using HEAD of Django trunk, otherwise you must write
your own context_processor).
