Path is the important thing while including your css file into html...

<link rel=''stylesheet" href="css/mystyle.css" media="screen">

And the important thing is we should not give wrong path for css file. Here i have created a css folder then i have saved my 'mystyle.css' file then i am pointing that file into this html. If your style sheet will be in your main file only then no need to give any path. But your path should be correct. If not it html doesn't works.

You are right my friend but if my CSS sheet is in the same folder in which I have placed my HTML file then the whole path is not necessary one can just use filename.css and it included in your page without any path specification but the above method specified by you always better to use.

Of-course what you are telling the same version of what above has been told, if you think clearly, then this is also path. When css is in the same folder and you are writing only filename.css, then that alone reflects the path of the css.

Best choice is to place the CSS file in the same directory as your html file and simply write the name of file followed by CSS extension so you will not need to write the path and styles will load in the desired way.

You will still need the meta link to the external style sheet including its location in the head section of your page. To the best of my knowledge a browser will not load an external stylesheet if it is not linked in the head section of the page.

Dear friend. Your thought is really nice.
but if we work for a big website like core php based then we should keep css files in a public folder which needs correct path.

here my concern is about large size website.
