I have a weird/frustrating problem. I'm trying to link my CSS stylesheet to my HTML and when I check in the Chrome dev tools what the file looks like live (rather, why my styling isn't working), I'm getting an entirely different file showing as my .css file.
Here's my file directory:
- app
- public
- file1.html
- file2.html
- assets
- style
- reset.css
- style.css
And here's the head of file1.html:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../assets/style/reset.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/purecss#0.6.2/build/pure-min.css" integrity="blahblahblah" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/purecss#0.6.2/build/grids-responsive-min.css">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../assets/style/style.css">
The last line is my relative path.
The contents of file2.html are showing up as the contents of style.css when I look at it through dev tools, but all that really is in style.css is some styling for the h1 element. Am I just being a dummy with the relative file path for the CSS file? I thought maybe the other CSS stylesheets were impeding this style sheet, but commenting them out still results in the contents of file2.html as my css file. What am I missing?
Your path seems to be right, but it could be because you are missing a closing quotation for your integrity attribute.
So this is within an express app and I hadn't served up my public folder so that it could use it to access static files.
Needed this:
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../public')));
Your third link is missing a " after blahblahblah.
Try fixing that.

My External css file is not linked to my html page.
I had with inside a folder with path
->app-->css-->layout.css
->index.html
In my index.html file I linked it like
<link rel="stylesheet" type="type/css" href="app/css/layout.css">
it won't link it.
i searched for the file in the chrome (inspect-->sources) and the css file wasn't listed there
I then put the layout.css and index.html in the same path.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="type/css" href="layout.css">
it still didn't work. I checked in multiple browser like chrome and firefox as well but it didn't work.
Not sure if it is causing the error(most probably is), but type should be text/css instead of type/css.
Just replace the type/css to text/css and there is no need to write full path name in href.
You can directly use the command below to get the desired result
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="layout.css">
Its a very common mistake that everyone do... Please notice that here type="text/css" not
type/css...

I'm linking my .CSS file and Bootstrap 4.2.1 to my HTML file. The .CSS Isn't linking correctly. What is the correct way to link my .css to an HTML file? Bootstrap works but not CSS
I have tried changing the order of the links.
I have also made sure my HTML and CSS files are in the same folder
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-GJzZqFGwb1QTTN6wy59ffF1BuGJpLSa9DkKMp0DgiMDm4iYMj70gZWKYbI706tWS" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stlye.css"/>
you wrote stlye instead of style? maybe it's just the mispelling
or you might need to specify the path for your css
something like this before your css file ~/filename.css
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stlye.css"/> should be <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"/>
You spelt style wrongly. Also make sure style.css is in the same folder/path as your index.html (or whichever .html page you are using), else be sure to specify the path like so: /example/style.css.
Check that the style file exists and you are importing your stylesheet with the correct name and relative path. That means use <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"/> if your css is in the same folder of your html file. Otherwise provide the correct route for your file. For example would be <link rel="stylesheet" href="./app/assets/style.css"/> if your css is inside app/assets folder.
I'm working on a project using arduino, node.js and socket.io. I am running it in localhost, however my external stylesheet wont load.
The error seems to be saying it cant get my css from this path http://localhost:1337/css/main.css
However if i keep the css in a style tag in the html file it all works fine, is there a way to keep the css external so it doesnt clutter my html file?
Heres how im loading in my css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">
Here is how my file structure looks
Here is my main.css file inside the css folder
my main.css file is within the css folder, i am working off of the interface.html file
Try this instead:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./css/main.css">
notice the ./ in front of the href
otherwise include full path name:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:1337/css/main.css">
this is what i have tried and it is working for me
<link href="./main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
thanks
To serve static files such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript files, use the express.static built-in middleware function in Express.
The function signature is:
app.use(express.static(__dirname));
Then you can include like bellow
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
</html>
The relative path kicks off from your html path so
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
should work (as your main.css is outside of the css folder). Alternatively, you could put the main.css file on the css folder and reference it with "css/main.css"
I was facing same problem as you are facing but i tired below code and it works.
body{
background-color: yellow;
}
h1{
color: red;
}
p{
color:green;
}
<html>
<head>
<link href="./external.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is my First page to test CSS</h1>
<p>The main motive to making this html file is to test my CSS skill.....</p>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
hope it will help you......
I'm also facing this problem... But I found a solution and its working. Try the below code line:-
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css?v=<?php echo time(); ?>" />
For anyone else that's having this problem, I was having the same problem and found a solution. My localhost was apparently following a path to a cached CSS stylesheet file, even though it had been overwritten countless times.
Solution: Rather than opening the stylesheet directly from the folder to edit, I had to manually open it from my text editor dropdown menu. After hours of frustration, it was that simple. I use Sublime Text, if it makes any difference, but it seems to be a problem with the localhost, and I suspect clearing the cache would have had the same result.
I can't linked to my CSS file in my HTML file in localhost.
I have my index.html and styles.css in /var/www/html/project
I call it in the browser with localhost/project/index.html and only the html is printing.
When I just open the html in the browser, it's working fine.
I tried
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://var/www/html/project/styles.css" media="all">
I also tried in the href
localhost/project/styles.css
or project/styles.css
or /project/styles.css
But nothing, what am I doing wrong ?
Thx
The path you put for your CSS file should be RELATIVE TO the location of your html file.
If your HTML file has the path /var/www/html/project/index.html, then it's location is the project folder. That folder becomes the "root" of your project, and the CSS path should be relative to it:
styles.css
Did you try:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/>
If your css file and your html file is in the same folder, you just need to reference it by name and the file extension, I think.
If the CSS file is in the project file (with the index.html file) your link should look like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
As an example for VS13 link the css as shown below:
<link href="~/MyFolder/Style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
I also found a solution. You don't need anything. Do
<style type="text/css" media="all">
/* Your code */
</style>
and
<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8">
// Your code
</script>
Don't link them. Do it Internal. Thanks me later
So I added type = text/css and thx the CSS is working, but if I move my CSS in a CSS folder css/styles.css is not working
with my html file in /var/www/html/project/index.html
and my css file in /var/www/html/project/css/styles.css
But in any case images are not charging :
and I have my images in /var/www/html/project/img/banner.jpg
I have linked the w3.css stylesheet in my html (as suggested at w3schools) to utilize their responsive template but it doesn't appear to be working. I have linked it as such within the head tag of my html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3-theme-brown.css">
Am I missing something?
Make sure your CSS code is in your .css file, and your HTML and CSS files are in the same directory if you are using <link href="File.css" rel="stylesheet"> and not writing the directory.
Also, don't forget to put your link tags between opening and closing head tags.
It should look like the example I posted below.
If it's still not loading then it would to do with the location of your stylesheets(css).
Example - href="path/to/stylesheet"
The path would start from the current directory your HTML is in... so if you had index.html in the root directory and your css files a sub-directory then the example would look like this.
Example - href="css/w3.css"
Example - href="css/w3-theme-brown.css"
//HTML
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="w3-theme-brown.css">
</head>
