How to link and view PDF in browser with HTML/Angular project? - html

I want to link my resume on my personal website. I'm using the Angular template with Visual Studio 2017.
I have my PDF inside my project directory.
/components/navmenu/resume.pdf
/components/navmenu/navmenu.component.html
/components/navmenu/navmenu.component.css
/components/navmenu/navmenu.component.ts
Inside navmenu.component.html, I have
Resume
I haven't published the project to a server. It is just running on Localhost. How do I view resume.pdf in browser?

Double check your URL used in the anchor tag. Perhaps you could also consider creating a folder under the root of your angular project, say contents or something similar, where you can put your files in there. Then you just need to reference it like
Resume

First HTML Project - Broken Image

So I began studying code this month and I'm doing an online Web Development Bootcamp. My first assignment was to create a publish a simple HTML site on GitHub. I just published my site but when I go and check it out, the image is broken, which wasn't happening on the Offline version.
So this noob here needs help trying to figure out what I did wrong.
sakurach4n's first HTML project
This commonly happens when migrating from a local site to a live site.
The "src" for the image needs to be published/hosted somewhere on the web so it has a direct URL to the image, like this image of a cat: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/151AB/production/_111434468_gettyimages-1143489763.jpg
It works locally because that file is present on your local machine in a folder somewhere. Because the file path is relative it now searches for the image like this: https://sakurach4n.github.io/images/mafalda.png (which does not exist)

Hyperlink to raw text of a file with html

While working on my own personal website, I added a webpage that links to several python files of mine. Here is an example of an tag I wrote that links to a file called "Client.py" on a index.html page of a directory im working in.
<a class="col" href="./Client.py" target="_blank"> Client.py </a>
What was peculiar about this was that in some instances it would link to raw text when used locally (such as opening up the html file manually), but when used on a server (Such as using my domain or using live preview), it would download when I click the link, even if there was no download attribute in place.
How can I make this tag always link to the raw text of a file in every instance instead of downloading it?
Python is not configured on your server/localhost. You should run the page on the server which supports Python.

failed to load resource hexo.js

I'm using HexoJS to create a blog. I was able to generate the static files using hexo generate. Even though there are css files and JS files generated, they are not properly linked to the index.html.
So, I have to open each html page and correct each page links given in href and src attributes one by one. I believe that this is not very practical. Can anyone help ?
The localhost is used for preview the website. When we publish our blog, it should be on a server, then the path will be interpreted correctly, we don't need to change any thing. What we saw on http://localhost:4000 will be same when you published your website.
So, we don't have to worry about the broken paths in the public folder.

Joomla HTML validation

I am trying to validate the home page of my Joomla. The issue is that I have the site on my local host so I can not simply copy the URL into http://validator.w3.org/ to validate.
My next thought was to open the index page in my browser and then run firebug to access the source code, and then copy and paste the code into the validator.
This seemed to work okay however when the code returns errors, I now don't know where to access the html to correct them.
Thoughts?
If you have not much knowledge about the way Joomla works, you will have to learn about the file locations.
Normaly, most changes should be done on the index.php file located in your template folder (root/templates/name_of_your_template/index.php)
If the changes you need to make aren't located in this file, you can have a look at the modules, component or plugin files that output these error and that becomes more serious.
If there is a template override for the module/component/plugin you need to modify, the files should be located in root/templates/name_of_your_template/html/name_of_the_module_component_or_plugin
If there is no template overide for the module/component/plugin that outputs the error, you will have to learn about template overrides.
Depending on your browser, there are many extensions that will validate non-accessible (i.e. localhost) pages
In Google Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/html-validator/cgndfbhngibokieehnjhbjkkhbfmhojo?hl=en
Once it's installed, click on the icon and validate local page.

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
