accessing CSS and folders through IP

[TomJones]

I am setting up my site before I migrate over from my existing budget host and change the domain pointers. I am able to access my files via http://IP/~username/ but, none of my images on the pages (in various folders) or my CSS style sheets are being displayed. Is this because of the way I am accessing my pages via the bare IP? Will everything return to normal when I redirect my domain pointers to the new IP and access the pages by http//www.example.com?

This is because your pages reference other files using pathnames like this:

href="/style.css"

It's looking in the wrong place for stylesheets.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I guess I have to wait until the pointers change to see how fast everything loads.
