I'm practicing using HTML in VSC. I want to use external CSS, since I've already figured out inline CSS and internal CSS. However, when I try to use external CSS, the page doesn't change.
I've tried different documents, and I've tried copying the code from documents that already work. I've tried typing the code into different spots etc. But nothing seems to work.
Any ideas why this might be happening? enter image description hereenter image description here

First of all you need to save both the files with .html or .htm extension for html file and .css for css file
Second the path of the css must be correct if both the html and css path are on same directory then code this
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css">
I think it works if not can you post the screenshot of the directory you are working and the css and html file
Thank You!!!

I am trying to link my CSS file to my html file and it is not linking without a Full path. They are on the same level, and I don't get the effect specified in the CSS file. The simple code in CSS is
body { background-color: blue; }
Thank you in advance for your help.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I can see in the screenshot, the HTML and the CSS are not in the same folder. If you want to link to a CSS file that is in a higher directory you should use ../.
In your case, your code should be:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../css/styles.css">
Note: Please paste your code in your post instead of making a screenshot, it makes it harder for people to copy / edit things.
It seems you are not in the same directory as your css file. To achieve the desired reult, you will have to go up 2 directories and then access the file through the css folder.
I am trying to practice some web development with a simple HTML file and some external styling. I have my HTML and CSS files saved in the same folder, and am attempting to link the CSS to my HTML file. When I go to view the page, none of the styling is applied. There is a file called "styles.css" loaded into the sources tab, but it just looks like my HTML file. The HTML included is from the file I want to link by the name of the file in the sources. You can see the link attempt (I've tried with and without specifying type, and I've tried putting a slash in front of the name of the file), and you can see the file included in sources:
I've looked at each element, I've looked at the computed styles, and nothing suggests that the file is properly loaded. I've looked through several questions and most of the solutions are things I've already tried. Thanks!
Make sure the index file is saved as a .html file.
If it's still not working try href="./styles.css"
try writing href="./style.css"
I just started using html and css and I have to do something with it but I am getting the error Unable to open 'style.css'. I don't know what the problem is since the path that I used is the same as the file path.
Make sure the CSS file and the HTML file are in the same folder.
based on your image it should be
href="mywebs\site\style.css"
if you want to link site/style.css to mywebs/smth.html you should go one folder back.
<link href="../site/style.css">
or put the site folder inside mywebs, because based on the picture the site folder is not inside mywebs folder.
Sometimes the file may missed directory. You can close and open the code editor and it will work. Also, make sure your html and css file is in same directory. If you css file is in a different directory then use the following code:
<link type="text/css" href=".../style.css"/>
I have a Project where I can't change any HTML code. So I have a css file that changes some stuff around and need that to be linked. Changing the HTML external would work.
So I have a HTML and a CSS file witch need to be linked without touching the HTML.
Not possible. The CSS file needs to be linked within the HTML file via <link> element.
I guess you just need to add the following code inside your tag in your html page.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourcss.css">
provide the path name of your css file for the 'href' field.
Applying styles to each element via JavaScript on page load may be a way. But still not the perfect one.
I just need some clarification about linking a css file. I am looking at a html widget that has been created by someone and they seem to have a html with a query string to get the required css..
<link href="https://cdnres.willyweather.com.au/widget/cssView.1-12-8.html?id=36723" rel="stylesheet">
And this works if you click on this link
http://cdnres.willyweather.com.au/widget/loadView.html?id=36723
But when i downloaded these files onto my own web server and tried it, it didn't work
http://www.mccdepot.com.au/Test1/loadView.html
but when I update the link styles to a css and updated the file name it worked.
http://www.mccdepot.com.au/Test2/loadView.html
For the query string html do I need to enable something on the server side?
Thanks in advance
i copied that link css add it to your code its coming same as given link i have added the screen shot check it.
try this->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path of the css file"/>
This is how normally we include a css file in our html page. If still getting error, please check the file path properly.
your linked css file is minified, check it once. When you minify some
css files actually it replaces some variables. Try again to download
again and link it. And js files also not included properly, when it
check it in viewsource file was not found there
