ASP.NET beginner question: Regarding application of master page

There's this masterpage in a folder named "Templates" in my project. When I create an aspx page in the same folder, the master page applies开发者_运维问答 all right.

But when I create it outside the "Templates" folder and refer the same master page it doesn't apply well.

What is weird is, everything is getting applied all right BUT a td's background color.

Why is that? What's wrong? Either nothing should be applied well or everything should be all right. Why is it that ONLY td's background color is missing?

Also the pages that I am applying my master page on has got no data yet. I have just applied the master page.

I mean, obviously the address of the master page is all right, that is why it IS getting applied, just that bgcolor goes missing.

Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question but I am new to .NET. I am just trying out stuff.

Help?

[EDIT]

This is the address, BTW.

MasterPageFile="~/templates/master1.master"

Where does the TD background color come from? If it is in a stylesheet then the CSS file is probably not referred to correctly.
