When using Apache Tomcat, It will not serve me my external CSS stylesheet called CSS.css. Here is a picture of its location:
When I try to access it from home.jsp using this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/CSS.css" type="text/css" >
nothing happens.
Also if I go to my browser and type in localhost:8080/myappname/CSS.css, It still doesn't find it.
I have researched this for a while and I seem to have done everything right. If anyone has an idea on why this isn't working for me that'd be great!
Try by renaming the file CSS.css to CSS1.css and re-deploy the application.
If it worked then rename CSS1.css back to CSS.css
I fixed it. All I had to do was add this to web.xml:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/css/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
And I put all my CSS files in a folder in web app called css
Note that all CSS (and all javascript) files must be outside the WEB-INF folder. They have to be in a directly that can be accessed publicly .

First of all, I'm using Chrome browser for development.
I have placed the files in the following order:
In Markup, I placed its reference like this:
<link href="App_Data/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
This is the original path: root/App_Data/css/bootstrap.min.css.
The file is available at the path, but still, the browser can't find the file with an error shown in the picture below:
I am confused. Why is it not able to find the file from the correct path? :S
What mistake am I making? (My previous question was also about the path. I tried following my last question's guide, but that also is not resolving this issue. Please look into it and tell me the possible issues. Thank you).
App_Data is not typically used to publish web content, and is not published by default.
I'm sure App_Data is a special folder in MVC, consider moving the files in to a "content" folder or something (as is the standard).
Also try prefixes like "./" or "/" or "../" as depending on the url of the current page you may want to have a different path for these resources or always generate one that's relative from the root of the site.
I've just found a solution with the help of someone who commented here but deleted the comment. He was correct! I couldn't see his nickname. I'd prefer him to answer, i'll Tick his answer.
APP_data folder in asp.net doesn't let browser load Css and JS files as this folder is standard for Class files e.g. ( abc.cs ) .
I just moved all of these files in a new folder i created with the name Content and moved all css and js files in it, referenced it in Html and it worked like a charm.
Try relative path as below, it might help you-
<link href="../css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
You have to start with the root of your application.App_Data is just a folder in Microsoft Visual Studio context.Once you publish your app it will not be the same.
For your question, this would be the solution:
<link href="/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
This will resolve the path from the app root.
I have made a .css file for a html i'm using in a dynamic web project. The css implementation clearly works because if i run the tomcat server from the html i can clearly see the css effect but if i run it from the main project it opens the same html page but without the css effect. How am i supposed to fix this? Do i have to write something into the web.xml file ?
This is the link tag in the html file
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/>
Am i supposed to add something else ?
it depends on location of css file. Your path will if css is in same folder as html/jsp file. If it is in sub folder in webcontent folder then use href="foldername/filename" if its in root folder then href="../foldername/filename"
I'm taking a course on CSS3 and HTML5, and I ran into some trouble: my CSS folder isn't located in the correct spot... or something. I have no clue what's going on, but after a few hours of messing around, I went into the inspect element tool, and noticed some files aren't loading, so that's why my CSS isn't working! I attached an image, can you tell me what it means?
Also, where should my CSS file be? I'm using bootstrap and sublime text.
Thanks in advance.
Well, nvm on that image. It says I need 10 credits...
It says in inspect element:
Failed to load resource: net :: ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
CSS files can be called from a path relative to the document calling them. For instance, given you have a folder directory that looks like this:
/(your root directory)
-css
-bootstrap
app.css
-img
-js
index.html
-pages
pageone.html
...your css link in your index should look like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap/app.css" />
whereas the link for pageone.html would look like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/bootstrap/app.css" />
the ../ tells the server to look in a directory directly above the calling file for the path described in the link
With Bootstrap, are you using straight CSS, LESS, or SCSS? If you're using a pre-compiler, check your pre-compiler's settings file to ensure your compiled css files end up in the proper directory.
In sublime text for getting directory path please install a package called Auto File Name if you have a package control already installed in your sublime if not, the google package control and install in your sublime editor , auto file name lets you go well in your directory path and call your files.
I have encountered the same problem before. the external stylesheets is not recongnized !!
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
If your HTML is in the root and your CSS folder is also in the root then your links are incorrect. You shouldn't have a slash / in front of the file name.
try:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">

I am very new to CSS.
I am putting the following line in the header of my html, but CSS doesn't load:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="static/main.css" />
Basically my HTML doesn't see the CSS file. I am probably missing a very obvious point. My CSS file is in the "static" folder of my project and my HTML file is in the "templates" folder.
While writing this, I realized that I might be directing to the wrong path, but changing it to "../static/main.css" didn't help either.
Should I use SRC instead of HREF, when using this locally? Or is it something completely different?
Thank you for your help!
UPDATED:
The project tree is as follows:
|____.gitignore
|____app.yaml
|____appblog.py
|____appblog.pyc
|____README.md
|____static
| |____main.css
|____templates
| |____front.html
| |____newpost.html
I am linking to main.css from inside my front.html
You are giving the wrong route to the CSS file. It is currently looking for the file in templates/static/main.css, which doesn't exist. You need to add ../ to back out of the templates directory, and then head to the static directory.
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../static/main.css">
If the directory structure is in your root directory, you could also link relative to root by adding /. This will start in the root directory, and then look for the static directory.
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/main.css">
Also, make sure you are adding that in the head of the document.
The answer was somewhere else:
I am using Google App Engine for the app development and I should've included the following under -handlers:
- url: /static
static_dir: static
Thank you for all your helps.
Chrome browser: Open developer tool (F12) and look at right top of the panel, or click "Console" tab, if the develper tool console return Not found error with your main.css file then check your css path. You can try to locate html file and css file in one directory and then change link tag to
Can you show me how did you open the html file? direct click on the html or browse through webserver project?
I am using ibm websphere and creating a Dynamic web project. All of my JSP files are in my WEB-INF folder and i use servlet mapping in my web.xml file to make them accessible. This has worked fine so far. however i have problem with my CSS. as always, my CSS file is located in WebContent in a folder named css. heres my link for my jsp
<link rel="stylesheet" href = "css/styles.css">
I'm having no luck getting my css to show...
what am i missing?
The relative URLs in the generated HTML output are by the browser interpreted relative to the request URL (as you see in browser's address bar), not to their physical location in the server's disk file system. It's namely the webbrowser who has got to download them by a HTTP request, it's not the webserver who has got to include them from disk somehow.
One of the ways is to use a domain-relative path for those resources, i.e. start with /. You can use ${pageContext.request.contextPath} to dynamically inline the current webapp's context path.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/styles.css">
This will end up in the generated HTML output as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/yourContextPath/css/styles.css">
This way the browser will be able to download them properly.

Browser can't access/find relative resources like CSS, images and links when calling a Servlet which forwards to a JSP
I think you need to see it from the browser's perspective, how it is the URL of the page, the context path and the current path.
If your app context path is for example "myApp" then you can do something like this to make it work:
<link rel="stylesheet" href = "/myApp/css/styles.css">
If you want to make it relative so it does not depend on the context path, then if your url looks like http://localhost:8080/myApp/myservlet/file.jsp
Then your link tag would be
<link rel="stylesheet" href = "../css/styles.css">
Firebug or the chrome console may be really helpful to understand what the browser is trying to fetch.
Hope this helps!
