Hello I am trying to set an image as a background using a css file in an index.html, however I use the css declaration the image will not be displayed even if you put it on html, can you please help me figure it out, thank you
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Solution</title>
<style>
body{
background: url("img/notarde.png")
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
HI
</body>
</html>
CssFile
body{
background: url("img/notarde.png")
}
If you have your style in <style></style> it is not needed to add the same content in a CSS file to do it.
However, if you wants to use an external CSS file you can add this line between the <head></head> :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="THE_PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE">
Your code works, it must be the path of the image that went wrong.
See it here
You need to include the stylesheet in the index.html file.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="[your css file path]">
I hope that helps :D
Have you referenced the CSS file in your HTML Page?
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
Specify the CSS file name and path in href like href="CSS/filename.css"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Solution</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
<body>

I am trying to change background color of a web page.
To do so I am linking style.css externally to index.html using href:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- <meta charset="utf-8"> -->
<!-- <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" media=”screen”/> -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- body of...body -->
</body>
</html>
My CSS is simply:
body
{
background-color: aqua;
}
My project structure is:
Note index.html resides by itself on the project folder (freebookz), whereas style.css resides in a dedicated folder (css). Hence the reason for
href="css/style.css"
The problem is that the CSS is not linking.
I'm using Vscode and I've also tried replicating this project in Notepad++ and CSS still does not work.
I've tried force-reloading the page with SHIFT+CTRL+R to no avail.
Can someone point me to the error?
I've exhausted all attempts to make this work.
In your tag check your media attribute, instead of double quotation mark, you have used this Unicode character “”” (U+201D) .
Here is my code, paste it in your code, it would work.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" media="screen"/>
Let me know whether it is working or not ?
That's right, have you tried uncommenting it?
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" media=”screen”/>
</head>
<body>
<!-- body of...body -->
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>hello this is paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
I can't see a reason why it is not linked.
The html file content
<!doctype HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>site</title>
<link href="code_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
</html>
the css file content
#charset "utf-8";
body{
background-color: aquamarine;
}
Check if the your CSS file is in the same directory as the HTML file. If no, then link it properly
you need to add a ./
<link href="./code_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
First check that css file is it css format or not then check your css file is in the same directory otherwise you have to mention path clearly.Also remove that "/"in end of the element.
<link href="code_styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
I have been using Brackets for a school image and was trying to move div tags next to each other but was experiencing no change in visuals of the code and I wanted to check if there is an issue with the external CSS so I tried to change the background colour to no successes and haven't even been able to change the background colour of a properly set up blank document.
I have been using the following to try to change the colour.
body {
background-color: green;
}
And this is the blank html for the purpose of testing
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Solitare</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Untitled-2.css" type="tex/css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something blindingly obvious or is there another issue?
Thank you very much. G. Ward
probably you have a mistake at <link rel="stylesheet" href="Untitled-2.css" type="tex/css"> try this <link rel="stylesheet" href="Untitled-2.css" type="text/css">
body {
background-color: green;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Solitare</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Untitled-2.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Your code is just fine!
you are only missing 1 thing a 'text' instead of 'tex'
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Untitled-2.css" type="tex/css"
should be
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Untitled-2.css" type="text/css"
I am super new to HTML and CSS and I ran into a problem when I try to link CSS code in HTML. The code doesn't show the background color like it should. HTML Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<link href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<body>
</html>
CSS code:
body {
background: #999;
}
I have them both in the same folder. I am lost and confused so any help would be greatly appreciated!
CSS files should be included in the head section. If you have them in the same folder you need to change the href aswell.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<body>
</html>
You have to use href="main.css"
By using styles/ the browser searches for a folder called styles in the same folders and can't find it so no CSS will be applied
Try adding the link element to head tag instead of body tag.
I have a folder with my loginform.html and a CSS subdirectory with a simple CSS file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<header>
<title>Login Forms</title>
<link href="CSS/LoginForm_CSS_1.css" rel="stylesheet">
</header>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that I cannot link them, and I cannot understand why, I tried:
<link href="CSS/LoginForm_CSS_1.css" rel="stylesheet">
and
<link href="/CSS/LoginForm_CSS_1.css" rel="stylesheet">
and
<link href="../CSS/LoginForm_CSS_1.css" rel="stylesheet">
but nothing works, when I put the LoginForm_CSS_1.css file in the same directory as the html file and use <link href="LoginForm_CSS_1.css" rel="stylesheet"> everything are ok. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link href="CSS/LoginForm_CSS_1.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
head tag is for root, header tag should be in the body!
