.net-3.5

I have a master page which references a style in the following manner:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../Content/Style.css" />

All my pages inherit from this master page. And this works well when the URL is http://www.domain.com/home/details/5, however the URL is http://www.domain.com/home/create, then, of course, Style.css cannot be found because `../../Content/Style.css' resolves to a directory one higher where there is nothing there.

How is this typically handled?
