I'm confused. I've been trying to link my home-page to my stylesheet, but no matter how many times I reload the page, it won't load the link. I'm following the book that I have, and I'm copying the link, but on the page it doesn't show up. Can someone tell me what I may be doing wrong or what I should be doing?
The general way to import a stylesheet to your HTML code would be like that:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
Depending on how your stylesheet file is named you need to change the "styles.css" part to your filename. Consider checking the filepath again, which is important for many frameworks.

I am facing a problem with CSS, I am linking it and changing the body color, and nothing has changed, and when I open a view page source, the modification appears on the CSS page already?
Make sure that you type <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theme.css"> in the <head> of your html document, the code you tope is correct, both documents are in the same file and that you save your CSS file before you check your result.
If you want a better answer, post your code.
I'm new to coding and understanding the cPanel File Manager.
I have uploaded my HTML webpages into folders and haven't been able to figure out how to make all of them use one CSS file. I've managed to make my pages all look as I want by uploading the CSS file into each webpage folder, but when I want to change one thing about the CSS, it gets really tiring to go through each individual one.
I'd imagine there's an easier way to do this, but I can't figure it out.
Assuming your hierarchy looks like this:
index.html
other.html
more.html
styles.css
just put <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"> in the <head> of each page.
If instead, your hierarchy looks like this:
index.html
other.html
more.html
styles
-styles.css
you can instead use <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/styles.css"> and so on
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 am relatively new to CSS and HTML, but I just had a tutorial on connecting HTML documents to CSS sheets. It didn't work, and I have searched everywhere for the answer. All the sites had feasible answers, but none worked for mine.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"/>
<title>FlyHighGames|Home</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" /> <!--Bro what does this even mean?-->
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p>Hello</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Please help!
use folder name if you saving css in any folder
<link rel="stylesheet" href="foldername/stylesheet.css"/>
As others have said, you need to use the link element:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="pathToCSSFile">
FYI the: type="text/css" part is no longer needed in HTML5
But, to correctly indicate the path to the .css file, follow these
rules:
If the resource you need is part of the same web site (not talking about folder structure here, talking about domain), you should use relative paths, where:
a. fileName.ext is all you need if the resource is in the same folder as the currently loaded document.
b. folderName/fileName.ext is what you need if the file you need is in a sub-folder of the current folder that the loaded document is in.
c. ../fileName.ext is what to use if the file you need is one directory higher than the current document's folder. The ../ can be repeated if you need to go up more than one level (i.e. ../../fileName.ext).
d. /fileNameext or /folderName/fileName.ext indicates that the file or folder specified should be found starting from the root of the web site, regardless of where the current document is.
If the resource you need is located on another domain, you'd use an Absolute Path (http://something.something/file.ext).
a. DO NOT use absolute paths for local resources! This may work but causes the domain name to have to be resolved again, resulting in a longer load time.
WARNING: Different servers have different configurations and requirements that may affect whether these reference rules work or not. For example, GoDaddy web hosting provides an "httpDocs" folder at the root of a web site. You don't have to use it, but that's where their servers expect the site's content to be placed. Not following those rules result in relative paths not working.
NOTES:
If you feel that you've referenced the CSS file correctly, you may have a syntax error in that file which is preventing the CSS from being processed. You can run your CSS through a validator (https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) to see if it's valid.
You can also hit the F12 key with your web page open and click on the Network tab and refresh the page. This will show you all the network requests made by the current page. If you see the CSS file listed and then see a 404 message next to it, you know the file wasn't found.
The link tag is used to link to external style sheets. check your css file path try this code work fine
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
you need to attech style sheet beetween head tag.
As other said, use the link tag, but I sometimes get an error, if I add a slash at the end as required in XHTML as it automatically closes the tag and doesn't allow it to access other parts of the page.
Create a css stylesheet.css file and save in folder where HTML file exits
Provide complete path of your stylesheet file
example
<link href="Content/css/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" />
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.
