I am new to Spring and I am trying to make a beautiful Web Application, and so far I set up everything, and if I run my page on the browser it shows as it is supposed. But if I run it with tomcat on port 8080 (I am using Intelijj) it doesn't load css and js files not even pictures.
I have literally searched this problem and open all the StackOverflow similar questions, I tried to write a configuration file, but it doesn't do anything, and I am uncertain about this approach because I have seen examples of people that did not write any configuration, but still they managed to make all their static resources load, and so on. Is it some secret application properties that need to write? Or there is a config code that has to write?
My resources folder looks like this:
-resources
-static
-CSS
-things.css
-JS
-datepicker.js
-Images
-many pictures
-templates
-Home.html and other pages
And the code that I used to refer to static-CSS-things.css is like this:
link href="../static/CSS/things.css" th:href="#{/CSS/things.css}" rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css"
I thought this would make my css file to load, but it doesn't. Same for the js and the pictures. Thank you!
Ensure your css and js files are in the following structure:
src/main/resources/static/css/things.css
src/main/resources/static/js/things.js
Ensure you are calling your static resources from pages that are under the spring boot template folder, which is in src/main/resources/templates
Always refer to your resources using the thymeleaf tag, because this way no matter the port you are running your application, it will always load properly.
src/main/resources/templates/example.html
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<!-- CSS -->
<link th:href="#{/css/things.css}" rel="stylesheet"></link>
<!-- JS -->
<script th:src="#{/js/things.js}" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If still not working, try to use the inspect from Google Chrome, go to Network tab and check what error is returning from your css and js files, then comment here.
Assuming you have css and js folder under static folder then use it like this -
<link href="css/custom.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="js/custom.js"></script>
you might wanna take a look at these too -

Worth noting, make sure you have thymeleaf dependency(ies) and tags appropriately.

In the app I just started I'm having trouble getting my CSS stylesheet to load. I'm used to using the asset pipeline with rails, but I'm trying to use angular for the front end, which has taken everything out of the asset pipeline.
I have the css file in public/app/styles/style.css and am referencing it in my index.html with:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="app/styles/style.css">
I have images linked successfully with src=app/assets/images/... and if I look in the sources tab on the developer console the file does show up, it just appears to be empty.
Can anyone see where the disconnect is?
From what I can see with the code, your tag could use a 'type' attribute, but that wouldn't stop it from working.
The URL in the link is 'app/styles/style.css', I assume your index.html file is in the 'public' folder?
I'd reality check the URL to ensure it's pointing right to the style.css file, and update the to use the full HTML5 format, which is:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="app/styles/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
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 Rails application with documentation which is static html pages in the /public folder.
The tree of my public folder:
-public
-docs
-intro
introduction.html
-css
some.css
index.html
Index.html file is:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/some.css" type="text/css" />
Some of the text
<li>href="intro/introduction.html"><em>Introduction</em></a></li>
When I open index page css isn't loaded, and when I try to click on link it says routing error. As I understood static pages don't know where to look for css and other html pages.
I just want static pages without any routes and controllers, nginx.
Any ideas?
All the public folder content is accessible via "/"
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/docs/css/some.css" type="text/css" />
You can use high_voltage gem to generate static_pages
Its perfectly valid to serve static files (pages or not) via the public directory. As Kirka121 said rails is not really built for this purpose but can still work with it.
In development environment it should just work to serve whatever files you have in public, for production environment you might need to configure whatever server you use to serve them - but this should be covered by its normal setup anyway, if not its set up wrong.
So by default the rails public folder can directly by accessed at the root of the project.
As far as your code goes the relative links/urls seem to be the issue. Its generally better to use absolute paths for everything not to confuse anything, which leads to very hard to find bugs.
With your folder structure and example this would be:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/docs/css/some.css" type="text/css" />
Some of the text
<li><em>Introduction</em></li>
Im trying to convert an html template to ASP.Net MVC 4 project. Bbut i have run in an problem. Then opening the localHost:11062/ site everything looks prefect. But if i try same address just calling the controller and action direct localHost:11062/StartMenu/Index, which should be the same, but it's not. For me it looks like the css file isent loaded correct. But if it wasent the start site should not look different?
I suspect that you have hardcoded the url to some of your CSS files, just like this:
<link href="Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
instead of using an url helper:
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Of course the same is true for all static resources such as javascript, images, ...
You should never hardcode urls in an ASP.NET MVC application. Always use url helpers when dealing with urls.
Also if you are referencing some static resources (such as images) in your CSS file, don't forget that they should be relative to the location of the CSS file.
You might easily see this in the Net tab of a javascript debugging tool such as FireBug where you would get 404 errors for the corresponding resource.
