title: (HTML) linked CSS stylesheet in other folder but same directory doesn't work
body: <p>I am a total beginner and am trying to create a website and store the CSS stylesheet in a <strong>different folder</strong> that the HTML files, but in the <strong>same directory</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I put this in the header tag of my HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="./style/stylesheet.css" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>The file is in the folder "style" in the same directory as my HTML.</p>
  
  <p><strong>It works, when I have the CSS file and the HTML file in the same folder and link to it in the same way with</strong>
      href="stylesheet.css"</p>
  
  <p>I have looked for other fixes, checked for typos, but it seems to be linked correctly already? I have also tried around different ways to type the path, but nothing works.</p>
  
  <p>This is the way the folders are structured:</p>
