Cannot link CSS to HTML - html

Please help to check why I cannot link club.css to index.html.
index.html (Please note: I have to use the direct local path as the CSS link, or it will show that "some content has been disabled in this document.")
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>The California Corgi Dog Club</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="C:\Users\leeson\Desktop\CS651 Web Systems\assignment\assignmentfall2021-Rijutady\clubProject\club.css" />
</head>
club.css (Please note that the css file is under Encoding utf-8)
h1 {
    background-color: skyblue
}

The Simple Answer
Using a relative path should resolve your issue for most situations.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./club.css"/>
The Alternative
You could also include the CSS directly into the HTML document, however this is not always ideal or recommended. Here's an article on that.
<style>
h1 {
background-color: skyblue
}
</style>

#NullPointDev's answer is correct. Use Relative path to your projects. It will make your work easier without errors. I just put some additional information for make your project easier.
If both HTML and CSS files in same directory, You can link your CSS like this,
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="club.css"/>
If the CSS file is located in another directory in the directory which the HTML file located, you can use this method.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="name_of_the_subdirectory/club.css"/>
If the CSS file located in out of the directory which the HTML file located, Use ../ to go back.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../club.css"/>
Read this Article for more info. Relative Path | W3 Schools
Now you know all the basics of Relative path. Wish you all the best.

no ,
it will be <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="club.css" />
if its under the clubproject

The solution code for your question is:
<link rel="stylesheet" type ="text/css" href = "club.css">
Your mistake : You have written the complete folder path instead of relative file path.
Advice: Have a look to the below link to clear concept.
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_filepaths.asp

I prefer simple solution which is using relative path.
club.css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=".\club.css" />
Where is the problem:
URLs cannot contain spaces

How do I link my CSS to the HTML file in Github Pages?

I need some help here.. I tried different links but it does not load the CSS file..
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="https://github.com/cengizkirazjs.github.io/cengizkiraz.github.io/styles.css">
This is the page and the outcome: https://cengizkirazjs.github.io/cengizkiraz.github.io/
Any advice? Its my first time linking CSS with HTML on Github!
As it was said in the comments, what do you think about changing file path a bit?
In your code we have this line
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cengizkiraz.github.io/styles.css">
It contains an absolute path. If you want to stick to this method, maybe just add a protocol, like this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cengizkiraz.github.io/styles.css">
But it would be better if you use relative paths
In this case, our <link> will look like this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
It means that HTML will search for this file in folder, where .html file is saved. Looks slightly better, doesn't it?

Linking both CSS and Bootstrap in HTML file

I'm linking my .CSS file and Bootstrap 4.2.1 to my HTML file. The .CSS Isn't linking correctly. What is the correct way to link my .css to an HTML file? Bootstrap works but not CSS
I have tried changing the order of the links.
I have also made sure my HTML and CSS files are in the same folder
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-GJzZqFGwb1QTTN6wy59ffF1BuGJpLSa9DkKMp0DgiMDm4iYMj70gZWKYbI706tWS" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stlye.css"/>
you wrote stlye instead of style? maybe it's just the mispelling
or you might need to specify the path for your css
something like this before your css file ~/filename.css
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stlye.css"/> should be <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"/>
You spelt style wrongly. Also make sure style.css is in the same folder/path as your index.html (or whichever .html page you are using), else be sure to specify the path like so: /example/style.css.
Check that the style file exists and you are importing your stylesheet with the correct name and relative path. That means use <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"/> if your css is in the same folder of your html file. Otherwise provide the correct route for your file. For example would be <link rel="stylesheet" href="./app/assets/style.css"/> if your css is inside app/assets folder.

I’m having trouble linking my CSS file to my html

I created the CSS folder and named it. I added this to my header in HTML but the changes aren’t happening.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="haiku-styles-shaun.css" />
You mentioned you've created a CSS folder. Then include that folder name in the href
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS_FOLDER_NAME/haiku-styles-shaun.css" />
Probably your CSS file isn't in the same directory as your HTML file, you provided the wrong name of your CSS file (also check that your CSS file's extension is .css). Solve these and try again.
You have to include each file you need separately.
e.g.:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="haiku-styles-shaun.css/myButton.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="haiku-styles-shaun.css/myPhoto.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="haiku-styles-shaun.css/myFooter.css" />
Most user don't need all their style definition at the same time. To save bandwidth you have to choose.
You said that you created a folder but you didn't write it on the path. Try adding the css folder before the file name like this:
<link ref="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="folder/file.css" />
Furthermore I suggest you to include versioning in your css to avoid browser caching when you refresh. To do that every time you update your css change the number at the end in the link:
<link ref="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="folder/file.css?v=1" />
The <link> tag is used to link to external style sheets. You have to use something like this :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Folder-Name/Stylesheet-Name.css">
Make sure that your href address is setup properly otherwise it won't load in your HTML page .
Note: The element is an empty element, it contains attributes only.
Note: This element goes only in the head section, but it can appear any number of times.
In HTML the <link> tag has no end tag. In XHTML the tag
must be properly closed.

Can't load external css when in localhost

I'm working on a project using arduino, node.js and socket.io. I am running it in localhost, however my external stylesheet wont load.
The error seems to be saying it cant get my css from this path http://localhost:1337/css/main.css
However if i keep the css in a style tag in the html file it all works fine, is there a way to keep the css external so it doesnt clutter my html file?
Heres how im loading in my css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">
Here is how my file structure looks
Here is my main.css file inside the css folder
my main.css file is within the css folder, i am working off of the interface.html file
Try this instead:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./css/main.css">
notice the ./ in front of the href
otherwise include full path name:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:1337/css/main.css">
this is what i have tried and it is working for me
<link href="./main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
thanks
To serve static files such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript files, use the express.static built-in middleware function in Express.
The function signature is:
app.use(express.static(__dirname));
Then you can include like bellow
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
</html>
The relative path kicks off from your html path so
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
should work (as your main.css is outside of the css folder). Alternatively, you could put the main.css file on the css folder and reference it with "css/main.css"
I was facing same problem as you are facing but i tired below code and it works.
body{
background-color: yellow;
}
h1{
color: red;
}
p{
color:green;
}
<html>
<head>
<link href="./external.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is my First page to test CSS</h1>
<p>The main motive to making this html file is to test my CSS skill.....</p>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
hope it will help you......
I'm also facing this problem... But I found a solution and its working. Try the below code line:-
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css?v=<?php echo time(); ?>" />
For anyone else that's having this problem, I was having the same problem and found a solution. My localhost was apparently following a path to a cached CSS stylesheet file, even though it had been overwritten countless times.
Solution: Rather than opening the stylesheet directly from the folder to edit, I had to manually open it from my text editor dropdown menu. After hours of frustration, it was that simple. I use Sublime Text, if it makes any difference, but it seems to be a problem with the localhost, and I suspect clearing the cache would have had the same result.

Why isn't the style showing (colors, font,etc..) when I link my stylesheet to w3.css?

I have linked the w3.css stylesheet in my html (as suggested at w3schools) to utilize their responsive template but it doesn't appear to be working. I have linked it as such within the head tag of my html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3-theme-brown.css">
Am I missing something?
Make sure your CSS code is in your .css file, and your HTML and CSS files are in the same directory if you are using <link href="File.css" rel="stylesheet"> and not writing the directory.
Also, don't forget to put your link tags between opening and closing head tags.
It should look like the example I posted below.
If it's still not loading then it would to do with the location of your stylesheets(css).
Example - href="path/to/stylesheet"
The path would start from the current directory your HTML is in... so if you had index.html in the root directory and your css files a sub-directory then the example would look like this.
Example - href="css/w3.css"
Example - href="css/w3-theme-brown.css"
//HTML
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3-theme-brown.css">
</head>
