I created a style.css file. To include it in a .html file I tried :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://github.com/karinakozarova/HealthCalc/blob/master/style.css">
and
<base href="/style.css">
and
<href="/style.css">
None of them seem to work. Any ideas how to add CSS to my app via external file will be appreciated.
I think you may be missing a "type" attribute within that link. Try the markup below:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://github.com/karinakozarova/HealthCalc/blob/master/style.css">
The GitHub "blob" urls are webpages showing your file. Not the file itself. So you need to use the "raw" url or something like jsDelivr.

I'm working on a HTML-CSS project.
I found a CSS file on the web but, there was not anyway to download the file.
I just know how to use a CSS file in my local project, not a file on the web.
How can I use this file on the web in my project?
please answer my question in a couple of code with a example URL.
For Example : http://example.com
Thanks.
You can include the link instead of a realtive path.
Here bootstrap e.g.:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">
just ned to use this code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Your_stylesheet_Address">
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">
How can I make this work in offline? This is in my index.html:
<link href='https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.3.5/paper/bootstrap.min.css' rel='stylesheet'>
Update:
There's a line in the css that contains http call to get the font css, do I
need to download it offline as well?
#import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700");/*!
Download the minified CSS file from Bootstrap and store it in an external CSS folder - then call it into the page as an external CSS resource
for example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
Download Boostrap file and Save it.
https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/getting-started/download/
basic syntax :
<link href='Path/yourNameFile.css' rel='stylesheet'>
Path is interpreted relative to the source of the Html file.
For Example : if Your bootstrap file is in Folder MyBootstrap and so This Folder and Html file are some Place,Your code must be like this :
<link href='MyBootstrap/YourNameFile.css' rel='stylesheet'>
If you want to use bootstrap files below in offline then just download these file on you PC.
Then remove text from https till just before the main file
Remove integrity & crossorigin attribute contents
Wolla! now you can see bootstrap files without CDN links.
The reference links & sheets wont work till you Remove integrity & crossorigin attribute contents.
Go ahead with this tip & tell me if it worked for you.
i.e
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap.min.css" >
<script src="jquery-3.4.1.slim.min.js" ></script>
<script src="popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="bootstrap.min.js" ></script>
Place the bootstarp files in the same folder with html files as you are giving the relative path. If you have saved bootstrap files in a folder the give src="foldername/filename" path.
you have to download the css files and then use somethin like this
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
you can see more here: https://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/
Go to http://getbootstrap.com/ and download bootstrap put it in the same folder as your html and call it like this.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
The best way to download usable bootstrap js and css files on your local folder and use it, after that automatically increase your page speed.
In addition to gavgrif's answer you will also need the file at this:
https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js
and this command to be pasted in section:
<script src="jquery-3.4.1.min.js"></script>
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've been experimenting with Twitter Bootstrap and have run into a problem I cannot resolve. Basically, I have a very simple HTML file (based on the beginning of this tutorial: http://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-twitter-bootstrap-3/ ) and I can open the file, but it is not loading the CSS.
I've tried this locally as well as from my web server and in both instances, the CSS does not load. This tutorial has some errors on where quotes go which I've fixed, but I've had the same problems with another tutorial.
index.html is located in the same folder as the CSS folder.
Here is my HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Please for the love of God help me before I destroy my Macbook.
Try using bootstrap.css instead of bootstrap.min.css. Also, make sure that it's in the correct path.
Another thing you can try as well is using media="all" instead of media="screen" in your link specifications.
Your javascript link tag for jQuery looks suspicious. Either give a relative path on your local directory, or the absolute path to an external url.
I had the same problem but it was unique, not sure if other had the same issue. I had "rel=" before the "href=". Just swapping the places, i.e. "href=" before "rel=" resolved the issue.
Thanks a ton for the correct syntax.
I followed below steps to load or apply Boostrap css.
first check bootstrap available in node_modules?
If you don't see, Install bootstrap with below command
npm i bootstrap
After installation successful, verfiy again boostrap in node_modules.
enter image description here
next open your project styles.css file and import below line.
#import '~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
when you upload the bootstrap files to your hosting, make sure to upload ALL the files even the .map files. I did that and it worked for me.
I had the same problem and I solved it.
open your file in windows notepad, choose save_as > Beside the Save button , open Encoding dropdown and choose UTF-8 !
my file was saved in Unicode Encoding.
I used windows notepad to save-as my file in a UTF-8 Encoding and the issue was gone.
you may also use notepad++ to change the encoding of a file.
good luck
I found this answer because it was the top google search yet I had this problem for a completely different reason.
For those who might have made the same mistake I have, remember to add
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
or some reference to another version of bootstrap so that your code knows where to get all the bootstrap related information
Sounds like this is just a simple directory issue.
You are saying you have the HTML file and the CSS file in the same folder right?
Then to load the file link it like this:
<link href="bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all">
Else
If your css file is in a "css" folder then change the directory to:
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all">
If worse comes to worse use the external link instead for troubleshooting:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
