The 'Project' directory contains any file you need for the development 
of your project, but that is not needed for running it.

Why wouldn't you need to create a style sheet file there?

Strange, I don't remember having such a problem. Which browser do you use?

The embedded HTTP server is made with the source code of 'thttpd' that I 
modified so that it serves only one CGI request at once, so that 
debugging is easier. Maybe this behaviour is related to your problem?
