CSS is not working on my GitHub pages and I've searched more than 40 forums and solutions but still can't get it working. My href is correctly pointed towards CSS file but still can't see changes live on website.
I suggest you store your CSS file in a separate folder name it as css and then name your file as styles.css with no uppercase letters.
Change your link as <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css">

I have a style.css and a html files.
When I upload them to the server I see the headlines in the style I want but on my desktop I don't.
Both of my files are on the desktop
On the <head> I have this line in my html file:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css">
What can I do to connect the files and see the style applied when I'm offline working on my desktop? and also online in my website
i want to add i just removed the / and it works offline on my desktop (just href="style.css") but not online - but i want to be able to see it both online and both offline ---- and online its not in the same file
** edit : now i see that what works on both is if i put my spesific website adress - than it works on both online and offline :
but if i will want to ever change my website adress it would be hard to change on each page thats why i want it to be : href="/style.css and not the website adress
If you are working locally without a webserver you need to link your css files like this:
<!-- Windows -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="C:\Path\to\File\main.css">
<!-- Linux & Stuff -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/file/main.css">
Additionally you could use the relative path to your file:
<!-- if it's in the same folder -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
<!-- if it's in the css folder -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
<!-- if it's in the parent folder -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../main.css">
your question is still not clear, but generally, your question seems to be based on the linking of the style sheet with your HTML file to see the results of your code on your personal laptop and the server both. The best practice to do that is to maintain a file structure which keeps the project organized, for example, there is a folder named "main" which is my project folder which further contains your subfolders like CSS and js, and inside these folders, you should keep your CSS and js files respectively.
A simple project file structure is,
main
|
|-css
|-style.css
|-js
|-script.js
|-file.html
If you follow the file structure to link your files, you won't go wrong, it doesn't matter whether you are on your personal desktop or on the server.
One thing i understood is that when you are working locally you have html files and the css file on the desktop. First of all i would recommend you to make a new folder and copy all your related files whether it be html files, css files or js files in that folder. It is a better way to encapsulate all your project files in a single folder.
Moving on to the css issue - you said that it works when you remove /. It works because since your files are all on desktop they are on same directory structure.
Enough for clarification I want you to follow these steps:-
First make a folder and copy your html files, css files and js files in it. Lets name the folder as website.
Create a folder named css inside the website folder. Copy all the css files in that css folder.
Inside your html files, inside the write <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> provided that the name of css file is style.css and you want to include this particular file in your html.
And regarding your online issue, I am not able to understand it. If you clarify a bit more i may be able to help.
Your files should have the same relative path on your desktop and server, so that you can use that same relative path for both. The relative path is based on the location of your HTML file in both.
If you have a folder on your desktop that has 2 files:
index.html
style.css
Inside of index.html, you'll reference your stylesheet using <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
If you have a folder on your desktop that has 1 file and 1 folder containing a file:
index.html
css/ (contains file: style.css)
Inside of index.html, you'll reference your stylesheet using <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
Since you said that <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> works correctly on your server, that means that your HTML and CSS files are contained in the same parent folder. On your local, you need to make sure that the same is true. That parent folder can be located anywhere - Documents, Desktop, a random subfolder - but as long as it contains that HTML file and that CSS file (and neither of them are nested in another contained folder), that <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> will work for both.
Note: You can change the folder structure of either server or desktop, or both - but the relative paths must match, so that your relative link works for both.
give like this
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
I'm pretty much new to all of this and for the past days I've been working on my first Website using bootstrap. Locally, this works fine, but right now, when trying to get it up online, it looks like this:
http://wearemanjaro.de
Just ugly html, no css nor any images are loading.
I made the link above link to the html which is in the /manjarowebsitebootrap/robots/index.html path. The CSS (bootstrap and custom) is in the following directory: /manjarowebsitebootstrap/css/...
The link to CSS in my html looks like the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/custom.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/bootstrap.min.css">
Same problem with the images in my ../img folder. It all works fine locally. I'd really love some help or advice :)
First thing you need to do is use an absolute instead of a relative path.
if your directory structure is:
-root
--docs
---doc1.php
--includes
---header.php
---footer.php
---css.css
--index.php
In your header, you link to my CSS file like so:
<link href="includes/styling.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
you need to do like this :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/root/includes/css.css" />
You also need to use developer tools on chrome that will help you to debug these things.
I saw there that the images are not uploaded so once you able to upload them you will start getting them on the Website if the path is correct.
and best of luck for the new world of web development.:)
Your file structure has changed from local to online/live. I inspected your page, placed in the CDN for Bootstrap and pow, the styling came alive.
Use the following CDN to replace your current src='' path for bootstarp in your html head to see what I mean.
https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css
The next steps you should take: make note of where all your files are living on your server, you must place all associated files on the server, as specified by your code, i.e shows that you have a CSS folder.
Also is this HTML file located at the same level as the CSS folder or does this HTML file live in a folder of its own. If not your paths do not need to include the ../ portion and you should use just css/yourFileName.css
Why isn't my HTML linking my CSS properly? using the Prologue template from html5up.com... In my main directory (I mean where index.html is) I created a subfolder for the different products I want to display. This folder contains a few files: 125st.html, 125stmain.css, and a folder called _notes created by Dreamweaver. Here is the code in the 125st.html that should be linking to the 125stmain.css:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="products/125st/125stmain.css" />
When I visit shercousa.com/products/125st/125st.html (It wont work for you, I've just tricked the hosts file to go to my local save instead of the live site while I work on it) it shows no CSS only the HTML. I just copied this line from the index.html file (which works) and changed the folder to try to direct it to the CSS clone I created. When this didn't work I tried copying and pasting the original line verbatim that works on the main site, but when linked in 125st.html still loads no CSS at all. I'm a bit new so sorry if I'm a bit hard to follow. I can elaborate or post any more code if anyone needs to see it.
Edit: Also my images are not loading, even the ones linked in the html file.
If i'm not wrong, this have an easy solution.
If you're on host/products/125st/125st.html and you linked CSS this way:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="products/125st/125stmain.css" />
What it's happening there is that your file 215st.html is trying to find: host/products/125st/125st.html/products7125st/125stmain.css
So you can either link your css with both this ways:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/products/125st/125stmain.css" />
or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="125stmain.css" />
I hope this works for you :)
And sorry for my english!
Ga, I'm such a dope. There should be a slash in front of products like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/products/125st/125stmain.css" />
I downloaded some css template from the web, copied the folders containing the css files and pasted them in my project, i used their html code as well in order to test the page on the server. It just doesnt work and i went through all the steps on the internet to link css to html.
The css folder is inside WEB-INF, the jsp pages are inside web content, i can't yet post an image on the site so i'll hope you can picture the structure.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/WEB-INF/css/animate.css" type = "text/css"/>
this is the link syntax i'm using copied from stackoverflow.com and even if i include the project name in the path, it still doesn't work.
Is the folder structures wrong ? or something with the link syntax ?
any help appreciated
change
href="/WEB-INF/css/animate.css"
to
href="/css/animate.css"
You don't need to write that... css, pages and images are usually put into the webcontent folder (as per practice).
I Think you have just to be simple and link your css like this:
This work in HTML, PHP
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/animate.css" />
This is for ASP.NET
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server" href="css/animate.css" />
I Hope it help!
I have created a very small personal website with three different pages and one CSS file. I know to embed a CSS file into an html page is the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"/>
but form some reason the CSS file only work in one page. Any advice please
Did you checked your folders structure? You may have other html file in different folders.
I suggest to use an absolute path for your stylesheet. something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mystyle.css"/>
first / in href parameter is what I mean.
Edit: You may use a windows machine and upload your files into a Linux machine. Windows do not care about lowercase or uppercase, but it is important on Linux. rename all your filenames to lowercase every where and use it exactly the same in your code (check your link tags again). this may fix your problem
Sharing the link of the site would be helpful. Make sure that the line of CSS aboves goes on each page. For example, if you have 3 pages with 3 different files: index.htm, bio.htm and contact.htm (I'm having to guess since I have not gotten this info from you). Then make sure the link to the CSS above appears on each of those pages.
