My problem is that I linked the CSS correctly when I created my HTML file, but then when I try to edit the CSS the other day, it just didn't update my HTML file and I did save it of course. One way I can get around this is by deleting the CSS in my htdocs and creating a new stylesheet with the exact same contents then linking the new one to my HTML. Can you guys tell me why is this happening and how can I prevent this from happening again?
I think that the problem is with cache. You can try running the site in an incognito/private window of your browser.
You can also inspect the page and see if the new styles are loaded. You can also try Empty Cache and Hard Reload option when you right click the reload button on chrome browser while inspecting.
one way you can prevent it is by doing all your css in the actual html file like so
<head><style></style></head>

I'm working on an assignment for a class where our teacher has given us a webpage built out with html and css. We are eventually supposed to create some animations with gsap, but first need to make our own edits to the webpage itself. I am using vscode and when I edit any of the html, the changes show up in my index.html, but not in the browser. Any idea why this is?
try to right click your browser and check in the sources to make sure it really saved your changes.
Try to use live server on VS Code and then whenever you save it will show up on the page.

Make sure you save the file and reload the page in the browser
I'm using Atom and it's HTML preview feature. If I change my CSS file, nothing happens. But then if I go to my HTML file and make any change, even just adding a space somewhere, everything updates.
I've referenced my CSS file in my HTML file as:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
Help?
If I understand the question correctly, you are making updates to your files but when you refresh the page in the browser, you are not seeing the style changes getting applied.
If that is the case, you can do a hard reload of the page by clicking Ctrl + F5
More information here: https://refreshyourcache.com/en/cache/
If your stylesheets are external file, then your browser may store it somewhere and loads the old content. If you use Google Chrome, then press F12, navigate mouse to refresh page button (with <- and ->) buttons and right click it, you will see options on how much you want to reload. :)
Is this what you asked?
Because this is what happens to me, when I do not reload the page completely.. Before it, no new content of externa files is updated.
guys I closed and opened Atom and it fixed the updating problem but I've still got the drop down menu problem. I think I'll create a new post for that since it's probably code-related
I'm working on an application and styling it right now, however occasionally when I save my style.css file (my temporary change stylesheet before changing it to LESS) I get some messed up elements that were fine before I reuploaded. I made no changes to those elements and I'm 100% sure it's not my CSS, it's also not my browser cache as I've cleared it and reloaded the page with the same issue. I've also added
?v=1.0.1
onto the end of my link to the stylesheet to trick the browser into believing it's a new one. (Learned that trick on StackOverflow to use with favicons, will give credit when I find where I got it)
It tries to search for the CSS in .LESS files that are non-existent on the web server. Could it be a problem with my bootstrap.css.map file being on the server?
EDIT: Another thing I can't seem to figure out, is why the CSS actually shows up under the LESS file reference?
I found my problem, it turns out I was using the wrong media attribute. For some unknown stupid reason I had set the style.css file to only display for print.. I just removed the entire media attribute to be displayed on all types and it works like a charm.
I'm running a large site, one that has a nav bar at the top. Rather than change the 100+ html files each time we want to change one of the buttons in the top nav, we want to switch the navbar to be displayed using an include of some kind. I want these includes to work on both Firefox and IE, and I don't want to have to change the extensions of each file either.
So far I've tried:
Javascript read file - This works fine on firefox, but IE has file reading blocked it seems.
HTML include - So far only works if we change the extension to shtml
PHP include - I know you can set up apache servers to run php scripts within html, but I don't know how to make this happen in SunOne.
iframes - I had to block iframes in order to comply with security standards.
I'm more than open to suggestions I haven't considered, or ways to make the above attempts work. Any ideas?
Eureka! I've found it!
So rather than include the html, why not just include the javascript and css? Every page will include a .js and .css file. The css can set the image src, and in each image I can use "onclick" to tell it to execute a function in the .js file with a simple window.location. Voila! Two quick changes will change the whole site!
Thanks to Mr. Lister for the CSS idea. That set me on the path.
I am using a jQuery CSS style on the main portion of my website. It works fine. Now, I also have a sub-directory of my website which should not use the style. When I manually navigate my browser to the sub-directory of the website, no style is applied which is what I want. When I click on a link to the sub-directory from the main area, however, it is applying the CSS style from the main part even though I am not referencing this CSS anywhere in the HTML of that sub-directory. If I refresh the browser, the style goes away.
Please can someone help me understand what is going on here? Thank you.
You are using jquery mobile, which by default loads the content of links via ajax. That means you don't have a page refresh when clicking on a link. The contents get dynamically inserted in your document which still has all your css.
More information here.
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/pages/page-links.html
You have to disable ajax for that link. More information here.
jquery-mobile - how can I bind disable ajax links to a certain class
Clear your history and browser data, then refresh and try.
Try to open the link in chrome and using the developer options (F12)
look for the resources it is referencing. If the page is referencing
the CSS files then either Javascript is making the referencing or
you have accidentally kept the resource link. Let the forum know your findings.
Edit
Somebody seems to have done what I have mentioned and has come to conclusions that they are because of AJAX. The steps I have mentioned above would let you do that all by yourself.
