I'm making a site page. Everything is wonderful, I tested it on my iPhone with local server. Everything worked well, but when I uploaded it to my hosting, it works well on desktop, but when I open it on my iPhone 13, it looks terrible. It looks like html file isn't linked with css file.Site on local server Site on hosting(Safari)
I tried to change some css settings
This is probably due to the way your files are served on your local server
When you are testing your site on your local server, the HTML and CSS files are served from the same origin and the browser can load them without any issues. However, when you upload your site to your server on your iPhone, the HTML and CSS files may be served from different origins and the browser may block the CSS file from loading.
Try this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" crossorigin="anonymous">

I have a simple, local HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="myclass">Hello World</div>
</body>
</html>
and a simple stylesheet:
.myclass {
color: #456123;
background-color: red;
}
I am deploying my stylesheet to an outside cloud hosting service (AWS S3). However, when I swap the URL out, the styles don't work anymore:
<link href="https://example.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
What do I mean by they don't work? The page doesn't display correctly, none of my styles get applied. The page renders as if there was no stylesheet at all.
I've tested all the obvious things, and then some:
The remote stylesheet is accessible, I downloaded it separately by URL and WGet
The remote stylesheet is the exact same as local, byte-for-byte (no diff)
I have disabled cache in my browser
I have hard refreshed
Per my browser tools > network tab, the browser loads the stylesheet promptly (~200ms)
Per my browser tools > sources tab, I can confirm that the entire stylesheet is there, present as a source and readable
I even wrote a script that I loaded into the body that fetched the CSS stylesheet externally, and using a callback after that, created the myclass div. The styles still didn't apply, even when controlling for latency/race conditions like that.
What could be going on here?
Fixed it! I found a similar problem here, which led me to the answer: when CSS files get uploaded to AWS, they get uploaded as Content-Type: Binary/Octet-Stream for some godforsaken reason. (Madness!)
My browser tools didn't raise that as an issue -- I guess browsers are pretty flexible these days -- but it must've still been an issue for HTML rendering.
So the solution is simple: go into AWS S3, click on the file, and change its metadata to hold:Content-Type: text/css. Or you can also set that metadata programmatically if you're uploading these files via an AWS CLI or SDK.
As an aside, you should do the same for JS files, which also get uploaded as binary/octet-stream. For whatever reason, the browser is still able to execute those fine.
I'm building my first website and the structure is as follows:
a folder named website containing two subfolders named html and css. The html folder contains one file named home.htm and the css folder contains two files named general_style.css and home_style.css.
In home.htm i have put the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>My title</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="../css/general_style.css"
type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="../css/home_style.css"
type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/a076d05399.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- code goes here -->
</body>
</html>
This works fine in Firefox on my desktop, but not in Chrome on my smartphone. On the smartphone only the html is shown and the icons from https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css.
All the code from my own css files is not shown neither are the icons from https://kit.fontawesome.com/a076d05399.js.
Can somebody help me out here?
PS: both html and css files are validated with no errors or warnings.
I can't say why it is not working. But I can tell you that if you're planning on building websites and testing them on various devices, you might want to run a local web server. This way, all your files can be hosted in your computer and you can access your site from any device connected to your network, using the local IP address of the computer that hosts the files. (ex: 192.168.0.x/home.html would show you your site if you open it in your mobile browser, without having to manually transfer any files.)
This is also the preferred method since it is closer to how users will access your website in the future.
You might want to look up "how to run a local web server" to find some guide that suits you. There are many methods and software tools to choose from.
If you are on a Mac, here's a quick and easy way to run one:
Go to /Library/Web Server/Documents and paste a folder with all your code and assets. Name it something simple, with no spaces
Open the terminal and type sudo apachectl start. It will prompt you for your password. Type it and press enter. (it might seem like its not typing because it wont show you anything, but it is working.)
Open your browser and type localhost in the address bar. You should see some big serif bold letters that read "It works!".
You're all set! Now just visit localhost/folder-name/home.html and it should show you your site! (hint: you might want to rename your home.html to index.html. If you do so, you will be able to visit localhost/folder-name/ and the server will automatically load index.html
Remember that if you are going to access this from your mobile phone or any other device, you must be connected to the same network. Also, entering localhost will not work. From other devices you must provide the local IP address of the computer running the server. Something like this: 192.168.0.5/folder-name/home.html/. You can find the computer's local IP in your Network Preferences.
(This works because macOS comes with the Apache webserver software preinstalled, and has set the /Library/Web Server/Documents/ folder to be hosted by apache. What we do in the terminal is just turn apache on. You can turn it off by typing "sudo apachectl stop" in the terminal).
You are trying to run your code on mobile browser?
Since it works on your computer Firefox browser smoothly but it wont work on mobile phone, this might be because you dont have the CSS files on your mobile device and have them on your desktop. I think that is a issue.
I am having a weird problem.
I am trying to build my github page site. So I am writing my html locally and then push it online to see it.
The problem is that Chrome doesn't recognize my css file when I am opening it locally. When I push the changers online or I am using another browser it work just fine
Here is how I import it on my index.html file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
</head>
And when I go to the chrome dev tools
css have turned to chinese
Microsoft edge load the css file normally.
I have tried a couple of different things like:
Using another editor
Creating the file in different directory
trying different filenames
Clearing Chromes Cache
Nothing seems to work
I have loaded again a local a site like this and it worked fine.
Any ideas?
Make sure the file encoding is UTF-8. You can use iconv or just in your text editor > save as.
So I've been working on a website for college and I'm starting to learn PHP but for that I installed xampp and tried to access the website from localhost.
By my understanding, the HTML file and images, even (some) images defined in CSS are loading but the entire CSS file is not, like float and flexbox and some padding, borders, and different types of positioning isn't working as intended. It's definitely finding the CSS file so I don't think there's a problem in my <link> tag in the <header>.
HTML header:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Home - akiro</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
As Doc-Han Stated this is most likely caching, and its an issue I think most of us have run into during the UI development process.
One thing you can do to get around this, is to open and do your debugging in an incognito window which wont cache files and can be reopened to load new sets if session caching does occur.
Alternatively some code editors have an in-built web server instead for this reason. I've been using Adobe brackets for a couple years now and love it. It serves the pages using an internal Node server and as a result, they have it set up for real time code updates. Changes to the code are reflected in real time which i find helps a lot in dealing with UI development flow for me avoiding issues like this and just the saved 3-5 seconds of refreshing each time i make a change (which adds up when your making 5000 changes Im certain other editors offer something like this as well.
This is just because with Xampp the browser caches your CSS files. This means that if making changes to the file, the browser will still access the cached file rather than the new one. A simple trick is to open the CSS from the local server and refresh the page so that the new CSS will be used.
example open localhost:8080/project/css/style.css and refresh that page
Quite some possibilities why it's not working as expected:
As Doc-Han stated; an old version of the css my have been cached.
You're loading the css from a relative path: style.css. This means the css should be in the same folder as the html file. Maybe the css should be loaded from '/style.css' or '/resources/style.css' or another location
Maybe the css contains some simple typo's so you're applying 'flaot' instead of 'float'
Inspect your page through your browsers developer tools. Open the console. Check if there are there any errors. Check if the css did load, also check if the right version was loaded. Check if the styling rules are applied to the right html elements or are applied at all.
If it is a caching problem in Chrome you can open the dev tools, open the Application tab, click the 'clear storage' menu item and clear site data. Now reload the page. In the network tab you can also click 'disable cache' and reload the page.
Just clear your browser's caches and done!
I just had the same problem but opposite and troubleshooting with Google brought me here.
My server was working perfectly in localhost but when I tried visiting it live via Ngrok or port forwarding, I got broken pages without CSS. I read a comment in this post about visiting the CSS file directly and then refreshing and in doing so realized I couldn't visit a lot of my CSS files, and then realized I set rules in my .htaccess for rewriting. Only leaving this comment so if anyone makes my mistake and finds themselves here like I found myself here, check your .htaccess.
I'm trying to use Font-Awesome icon fonts via the BootstrapCDN link which I'm pretty sure I have the latest version of:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">
I've put this link in the <head> part of my html file and I am trying to get it to work with this simple html code of:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Font-Awesome Icons</title>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<p><i class="fa fa-camera-retro"></i> Camera Icon<i class="fa fa-facebook"></i> Facebook Icon</p>
</body>
</html>
However it's not rendering. I've tried this code in the latest versions of FireFox (27), Safari(7) and Chrome(33). I've checked that the fa class is on each of the icons I'm trying to call up and also that the fa- prefix is being used as opposed to the old icon- prefix. I've checked my implementation of the code with this video http://headwaythemes.com/using-font-awesome-with-headway/ (although meant for a WordPress theme, in principal the code should work the same) and looked around on stack overflow but previous questions like Fontawesome not loading haven't yielded me any help in solving my issue.
I don't have the fontawesome.otf installed but surely it isn't that if I can see the glyphs when visiting http://fortawesome.github.io.
Should I just download and host the font-awesome files along with my entire future website so I don't have to worry about updating the BoostrapCDN link as well? - Even though I only plan to use a few icons?
The reason it is not loading is because the URI is starting with "//". That signifies that it is a protocol relative path, meaning it will use whatever protocol that page is using. If you open your html locally, then your browser will use file as the protocol, thus trying to access the font-awesome css with "file://". If you access your html using a local or remote http web server, then you would access the page using the http protocol, thus accessing the css with "http://".
Solution:
Change the path of the css or mimic it on your local machine.
Run a local or remote http server and access the page.
For more info:
URI starting with two slashes ... how do they behave?
Such an easier way to deal with this - just add 'http:' in front for the cdn line, and it will work on your local machine, i.e. like this:
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Ta-daa!
What Pulkit answered is absolutely correct. Just to add, if you want to create a quick local server, just go to the directory of the html and css pages, and then go to the terminal and type -
$python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Then, go to your browser and go to 127.0.0.1:8000
If it doesn't show up, try changing the homepage of your website to index.html
