Bootstrap CSS & JSP - html

hope you're doing fine.
I am currently stuck with my Web App project. This is the context: I would like to code a Web App using J2E. There's a free template that I liked and thus I decided to download it. When starting to use it I notice the CSS isn't applied.
Instead of having this, I have this:
However I do not see where the error is. The CSS & Bootstrap files should be visible in the JSP file and IntelliJ recognizes them. However I can't display these files (whether css or even pictures) that are referenced in "href".
Here's the project structure and code, maybe something's wrong there.
I'm used to HTML and to my understanding JSP isn't too different. Are the referencings different though?
Thanks in advance for any help you'll give,
Fares

YES.
Found the answer. Put resources in different folder than WEB-INF.

I believe that, your HTML file is inside the WEB-INF folder, for the to work either remove the WEB-INF path
<link href='style/stylesheet.css'>
or move your HTML one folder up.

I want to create an subdirectory page-templates(/minim/page-templates/page-again.php) and it's not working.

anyone can help?
I found the answer.
The template folder doesn't support specialized page templates. but it works for the custom page template.

Codepen: Project - CSS not working

Currently, I am trying to use Codepen Project's environment to build a website and later deploy it. I am using a template that I want to start building from. It has its own HTML pages as well as CSS and JS that is linked. However, when I am working in the project environment I cannot seem to get the CSS to apply to the html code (in other words, the live preview keeps showing naked HTML). I have tried uploading the files into the project's root, tried copying them in newly created css files, and tried using them as external sources (href to an external url in the head tag).
It is really to bad because I feel the Project environment can really offer a lot, though I just can't get it to work.
Thanks in advance, and take care!

Including images in a Genshi/Trac template

I am trying to include some images in a Genshi template for my Trac plugin, but it always shows only the alternative text because it cannot find the images.
I have the following (X)HTML code:
<div>
<img src="file://c:/path/to/image.png" alt="asdf" />
</div>
When I use this code with a simple html file and open it in the browser, the image is displayed correctly, which means that both the path and syntax are correct.
But when I insert the code snippet into a Genshi template and use it within Trac, the image cannot be found. However, when I look at the HTML source code in the web browser and copy the URLs into a new browser tab, it is again displayed correctly. This means that only the server cannot find the image.
The images are in a directory inside the python-egg file, and the path points directly to the directory created by Trac, which also contains my CSS and HTML files, both of which are loaded correctly. The images are correctly referenced in the setup script which creates the egg.
How do I have to reference images in (X)HTML documents when using them with a server?
Is there a special way to include images in Genshi documents? (I haven't found one.)
Thanks to the comment of RjOllos and this site I was able to fix it by trying all of the URL types. Although it says for a plugin to be /chrome/<pluginname>, it was actually just /chrome that worked. See the edit below! So the full URL is then <ip>:<port>/chrome/path/to/image.png.
EDIT: I discovered I actually used the /chrome/pluginname version, just that I did not use the name of my plugin as "pluginname". See my comment below. It seems like /chrome/pluginname should actually be /chrome/htdocsnameor something like that, in case you use a different name rather than the plugin name when implementing the ITemplateProvider. In my case I called it images, which was the same name as the folder. END OF EDIT
Another mistake I made was forgetting the initial slash (chrome/path/to/image.png), which caused Trac to assemble the URL to <ip>:<port>/<current page>/chrome/path/to/image.png.

Is there a way to export a page with CSS/images/etc using relative paths?

I work on a very large enterprise web application - and I created a prototype HTML page that is very simple - it is just a list of CSS and JS includes with very little markup. However, it contains a total of 57 CSS includes and 271 javascript includes (crazy right??)
In production these CSS/JS files will be minified and combined in various ways, but for dev purposes I am not going to bother.
The HTML is being served by a simple apache HTTP server and I am hitting it with a URL like this: http://localhost/demo.html and I share this link to others but you must be behind the firewall to access it.
I would like to package up this one HTML file with all referenced JS and CSS files into a ZIP file and share this with others so that all one would need to do is unzip and directly open the HTML file.
I have 2 problems:
The CSS files reference images using URLs like this url(/path/to/image.png) which are not relative, so if you unzip and view the HTML these links will be broken
There are literally thousands of other JS/CSS files/images that are also in these same folders that the demo doesn't use, so just zipping up the entire folder will result in a very bloated zip file
Anyway -
I create these types of demos on a regular basis, is there some easy way to create a ZIP that will:
Have updated CSS files that use relative URLs instead
Only include the JS/CSS that this html references, plus only those images which the specific CSS files reference as well
If I could do this without a bunch of manual work, if it could be automatic somehow, that would be so awesome!
As an example, one CSS file might have the following path and file name.
/ui/demoapp/css/theme.css
In this CSS file you'll find many image references like this one:
url(/ui/common/img/background.png)
I believe for this to work the relative image path should look like this:
url(../../common/img/background.png)
I am going to answer my own question because I have solved the problem for my own purposes. There are 2 options that I have found useful:
Modern browsers have a "Save Page As..." option under the File menu, or in Chrome on the one menu. This, however does not always work properly when the page is generated by javascript
I created my own custom application that can parse out all of the CSS/Javascript resources and transform the CSS references to relative URLs; however, this is not really a good answer for others.
If anyone else is aware of a commonly available utility or something like that which is better than using the browser built in "Save page as..." option - feel free to post another answer.

Relative path to a stylesheet in Visual studio not working in preview

I'm assuming this is an easy question, but I'll be darned if I can find the answer.
I have a website in Visual Studio 2008. The paths to the stylesheets (and images) are in the following format /css/stylesheetname.css
At the root of the web project in Visual studio the folder exists as does the stylesheet. These paths work fine when running it in IIS.
If I use the inbuilt webserver in Visual Studio the paths fail because it puts the projectname in the path i.e. http://localhost:2020/projectname/default.aspx
In this case the / takes the path right back to http://localhost:2020
This is further compounded by the fact that if you click "design" the styles that import background images all fail although the stylesheet is imported correctly (becuase all other aspects of the stylesheet work i.e. .class{font-family:arial;} works but .class{background: url(/images/image.jpg)} does not).
I guess it's all to do with how Visual studio calculates its root path for the website, however I can't find a setting to change this.
Any ideas??
Update: as per Egil Hansen's answer I converted the paths in the CSS file to relative paths. However the background images still do not display in Design mode. I'll take a look at using Themes to get round this in due course.
I think the correct solution is to use relative urls in the style sheet instead of absolute urls as you use now.
Do note that relative urls in style sheets are relative to the location of the style sheet, not the current page being view by the browser.
If you use ASP.NET Themes, you can put all your website graphics in a /App_Themes/YourTheme/Images/ folder, and put your style sheet in the /App_Themes/YourTheme/ folder.
In your style sheet, you can then simply reference an image with url(Images/img.gif), and it will work both online and in development.
The you just need to assign your ASP.NET Theme to the page(s) you want, either through web.config's Pages section (<pages styleSheetTheme="Default">) that will assign a theme to all pages on the website or through the <%# Page ... directive on each page.
In general, you can do some really neat things with ASP.NET Themes and Skins, just take a look at the ASP.NET Themes and Skins Overview over at msdn.microsoft.com.
There are a few issues to be aware of with Themes in ASP.NET, take a look at my post How to take control of style sheets in ASP.NET Themes with the StylePlaceHolder and Style control, which explains and solves the issues I have come across so far.
I have been running projects using the custom Image folder for all my graphics for ASP.Net applications. While there have been advancement in this regard with the App_Theme and App_Code folder(s) available in the progressive VS IDE; I still kept my folder and it has not disapponited when deploying it on the server.
So with that said - the proverbial folder will be sitting with all the bin, App_Code and _Themes and the reference to it is made through this way
background: url(../image/..);
of course the code above sitting in the CSS file. It works for me all the time
not sure if this works for VS 2008 or not, but im using visual web developer 2010 and it worked for me:
1) click on the project in the solution explorer
2) it shows a "Virtual Path" property which is defaulted to "/projectname"
3) change it to "/" instead and it seems to do what is desired
let me know if this works for you!
it has been ages since I did anything in css, but maybe url(./images/image.jpg)
will work?
Edit:
Or rather ~/format /css/stylesheetname.css or ./format /css/stylesheetname.css as the url to the stylesheet.
I had the same issue and it drove me crazy. Solution is to add an Apps_Theme folder and copy the images into there. When you publish the site the folder structure is preserved and the imnges display.
I had set path css url image by
code { background:url(/images/xxx.jpg) no-repeat; }
and running file at IIS, so must to point default website to your project
how to running testing preview
type:
http://localhost/default.aspx
this is correct path same running on server
include file js or css can use "/" root path
cheers
