I have an index.html file and index.css. The directory structure is:
img of directory structure
I am linking the css to html with : link rel="stylesheet" type="text.css" href="css/index.css"
I am using tomcat v8.5 to host. When I run my project on server I see this in the window within eclipse:
browser displayed within eclipse
However when I open up chrome/firefox and search, it is only pulling the index.html and the css is not being displayed :(
I read that files have to be specified with "relative path", however, the folder containing index.css is in the same directory(WebContent) as the index.html. So what is the issue with href="css/index.css" ? Can someone please help me with the path issue?
Thanks so much for your time !
There is a slight mistake in the link tag. Replace type="text.css" with type="text/css":
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css">

I'm trying to host my page on Github Pages but it is not recognizing my CSS file. I've tried changing the names, rearranging the folders and it still doesn't work. Does anyone know what can I do?
Here is my GitHub project.
I tried change the folder names, and putting the CSS file in the main folder.
Your index.html file is on the same level as your css folder. You'll need to remove ./ from ./css/style.css and you should be fine.
EDIT: I just checked it out and it looks like the CSS is loading.
Your github page
If you change your CSS link from
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/style.css">
to
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
I think your css wil work, happy coding!
I have a HTML file and a CSS file located in different directories in my PC.
in the head tag I use a link tag to reference my css file
<link href="C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Web_testing\BGsample SS.css"
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
this doesn't work
try using the file:/// protocol.
href='file:///C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Web_testing\BGsample SS.css'
If that doesn't work (and you say it doesnt), then my guess is that it won't work at all due to it being prevented by security features in the browser.
It depends on where you are loading the main HTML content from, but if the main HTML is loaded from the internet then I can understand why the browser might object to loading the CSS from the client machine's local file system.
One final thing to try: You might try setting up a web server on your machine, putting the mystyles.css file into the web folder, and loading it into the page using:
href='http://localhost/mystyles.css'
I can't really suggest much else, I don't think.
Check your paths, Best practices is to always use a relative paths. Ex
If your stylesheet is called style.css the link should be:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
If you have the css file in a subdirectoy (and the subdirectory is called styledirectory) the link becomes:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styledirectory/style.css" />
If the css file is in the parent directory of the html file the links becomes:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css" />
.. goes up 1 directory, if you need two you could do: ../../
Sample Folder structure
Assuming structure is like that then,
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/BGsampleSS.css" />
Name files without spaces too.
You should be using '../' to move back in your path, and then into the directory with the CSS file.
Please always follow the CSS External Style Sheet way. In your case the CSS file cannot be located. Try adding \ before SS.css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Web_testing\BGsample\SS.css">
This is the link: https://footballcoder.github.io/YearOfCode/projects/about.html (source code: https://github.com/FootballCoder/YearOfCode)
If you see in my repo, I have a folder called projects and in there I have my about.html, and a folder called css. I have a file in the css subfolder that is called about.css, which is the css for about.html. I don't know why the css isn't being used. Is it the way the file is being linked or some other error. The link from the HTML file is in the tags.
change this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/projects/css/about.css">
to this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./css/about.css">
I hope this article can help you
You refer to the link as such:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/projects/css/about.css" />
See if the following edit (removing '/projects/') fixes the problem.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/about.css" />
This should work because it is linking the path starting at the serving html, aka about.html, not at the root of your site. Just tested it with Dev Tools in Chrome, and it looks like it works (and is super cool!)
Side note: if your fonts from Google aren't loading, move the custom CSS below those links in the head. I'm not sure if they are or not since I'm not familiar with them, but that will work if that is also an issue.
I'm just transferring all my files over from xampp's htdocs to my server and now I just need to add a favicon.
I have the icon saved as 'favicon1.ico' and it is a proper icon size 16x16, but I cant get it to work.
This is the code I have for it:
<html>
<title>Server Test</title>
<head>
<h1> Hello World </h1>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="O:\Intranet\favicon1.ico"/>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
That is the correct location of the icon in the href so I dont see why this shouldn't work.
I've never added a favicon to a site before so that is where my main problem of not knowing exactly what it should look like lies.
Your Favicon path uses a windows style File path as pointed out in the comments.
Ensure the following
favicon1.ico file is present in the package that you are transferring onto the server.
Ensure that the file is accessible over http (try using a browser to navigate to it). The path should be something like http://server:port/app-uri/favicon1.ico
After that as suggested in one of the comments use a relative path such as ./favicon1.ico in the HTML source.
Also I suggest reading up on the concept of favicon http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
Code below should work. Try this.
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://yoursite.com/favicon1.ico">
Notice that href points to the address of your icon depending where you put the icon.
I just built my first website from scratch. All of my CSS and images are linked just fine from my computer, but when I uploaded everything to my hosting site (using Fat Cow) all of the links broke. So now I have an unstyled page with no images.
My .html is in the root directory and there are folders for my CSS, Fonts, Images, and JS. My style sheets are currently linked like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" />
This is what I've tried so far:
Moving style.css out of the CSS folder into the root and linking it
as "style.css"
Creating a new style.css directly in the root
linking it as "style.css"
Linking style.css (one in the root) as
"root/style.css"
Linking style.css (one in the root) as "fulldomainname/style.css"
This is my daughter's birthday present. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.yoursitedomain.com/css/styles.css">
try the above code and upload via ftp
Check FTP and make sure files are Uploaded properly, I advice you to download one and check it's not corrupt while uploading.
Check file path with "http://..."
check with relative path as well.
if you can't find solution please share link of your site so i can check it out.
It could also be a server permissions issue, meaning that you have to set up permissions for all the files in project.

Try to give full link of your website like
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/css/styles.css"/>
Put it into head section of your html page code.
