Ok, as usual I've stumbled upon another Microsoft glitch. I've noticed that 3 brand new web applications work just fine on localhost with styles showing just fine but things start getting crumpy as soon as I push the files to my beta server. Anyway, to cut long story short, I'm not the only one with the problem and I've not been able to come up with a fix - I'm stuck. So far, all I know is that if I create a virtual directory to the site on the same server and same folder it all works fine, however, it doesn't as a IIS website....what is the problem - themes? This is usually the part were my love for Microsoft blurs.
