problem with stylesheet location

dear webnetters,

here is a puzzle i have been trying to solve. maybe someone out there can
help.

when the .css file and the document are in the same folder, the page looks
fine. but if the .css file is in a different folder, the formatting of the
document is slightly off. i don't get it!

so, this works:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="generalTest.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

but this doesn't:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/Styles/generalTest.css" type="text/css"
media="all" />

neither does this:
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://career.berkeley.edu/Styles/generalTest.css" type="text/css"
media="all" />

the file generalTest.css is exactly the same in both places.

same result with either IE or Firefox. same result on either of 2 web
servers.

this is for a new page i'm working on. haven't had this problem with our
current pages which all refer to a stylesheet in the /Styles folder. but
the new page has much more complicated formatting.

thanks for any clues....

-Susan
