I have been learning how to make client-server applications recently and am following this tutorial by Traversy Media. This is the Github page for the code that mine is based on. Though I have resolved the MIME type issue that is brought up.
But the problem is, when I run the code, the CSS stylesheets(both the stylesheet linked to the website and the style.css file in the css folder) do not appear to be applied to the HTML page. What happens when I run the HTML file is that the HTML page appears to be without any style, meaning that although the HTML does appear in the webpage, the HTML elements do not have any styles.
I thought that it was simply because of an error in referencing the CSS files but I have tried to fix it by moving the CSS files around and also changing the hrefs of the link element in the HTML code and also copying the code of the CSS stylesheet from the website into "online-resource.css" but none of what I did worked.
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="online-resource.css"
type="stylesheet/css"
/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="stylesheet/css"/>
Anyone have any ideas? It probably doesn't have anything to do with node.js because the same thing happens when I run it independently
Change your type property to be text/css not stylesheet/css which is being interpreted as an invaild type and not allowing the CSS to load.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="online-resource.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
I think the css file not loading properly. Also check whether the code inside the css files are correct or not.
Make sure you saved the file. It's silly, but I can personally vouch for the time when I couldn't make my site update, and I forgot to save/update the file I was viewing.
Make sure the stylesheet is loading. In Chrome, if you right-click -> inspect element and go to the sources tab, you can see all loaded resources, including your CSS.
I have a very strange problem that never happen to me. I normally attach css as always and in Visual Studio code or in local file is working perfect. <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
But when I host page all css is gone(I try 4 of them). Then I must reload all linked stylesheet to be working again(special extension in chrome). Someone have any idea why this happen?
Edit: As the user suggest, also first try to clear the browser cache, deleting cookies and data, before continuing troubleshooting.
The most common problem causing that issue is the location of the .css file, it depends on how you are hosting the site but perhaps setting an absolute path to the file can help you discard the location issue. Also you are telling something about a chrome extension, did you try loading the page in another browser for troubleshooting?
Useful information: To avoid the problem of caching styles and scripts, it is recommended to use version
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/mydomain.com/css/style?v=1598035492054">

I usually read a lot and find solutions in here, but this time it seems I can't get this to work.
I have basic knowledge of html/css/js so this problem might have a banal solution which I can't see.
My website has roughly this structure at its root:
index.html
/css/style.css
/js/jquery.min.js
/folder/page.html
In my page.html head I have:
<script src="/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<noscript>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css" type="text/css" />
</noscript>
(This is a simplified version, I have other css and js files)
The problem is that this way of pointing to a folder works with js but doesn't with css. If I take a look to the console errors, I see that the css file was mistakenly believed to be in /folder/css/style.css
I also tried using "../" and the same thing happens: works with the js but not with the css folder.
Is the <noscript> tag interfering somehow?
Thanks for your help!
Edit:
I SOLVED IT! There was a js overriding it all, telling which css to load according to the window size, so I corrected the paths in the js with "../" and now they all point to the root folder correctly! Thanks for somehow putting me on the right track! ;)
This should work:
<noscript>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css" type="text/css" />
</noscript>
Keep in mind that it will work only when you have javascript disabled. More info about noscript tag here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/noscript
I'm using html and css for the first time. On one computer the html refers to the css appropriately, but on another the css is not referred to at all. I think I'm linking to the css correctly in the html:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
On both computers, I'm using the latest version of Firefox.
Any thoughts as to where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using your browser's developer tools?
Right click in Firefox and go to "Inspect".
Find the Web Console tab. There you will see if the reference to the css file is valid or if it returning a 404, not found.
Also, your reference should be href="/css/mystyle.css", to keep a clean root directory of the site.
Also, you might want to self close the tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mystyle.css" />
And if that doesn't help, run your code through the w3c validator: http://validator.w3.org/
I am making a HTML page and one of the things I wanted was a favicon appearing next to the title.
I'm using Google Chrome, I see favicons working on other websites, but the favicon on my website won't show up. The site is in a folder on my desktop named site.
The favicon.ico file is 16x16, and I used an online generator to make it.
This is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Since you have a leading / in your href, you are referencing a file that will be in the root-folder. In case you have your page in a folder on your computer, not serving it from a local webserver, the leading / will tell the browser to look in the root folder of your filesystem. So the browser expect the file to be at C:/favicon.ico or similar, which is probably not what you've expected.
If you have the favicon.ico in the same folder as the web page, you could just remove the leading slash, and the icon should be visible.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Update:
As a debug option, your could try to add a tag that you know works. I borrowed this snippet from the StackOverflow source. Try replacing your link tag with this and see if you get the SO logo as your favicon.
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico">
Update 2:
It appears that there is a bug reported on Chromium where the favicon isn't displayed if the file is loaded locally, without being served through a webserver.
I've found that (at Chrome 56, OSX) the favicon state appears to be cached for the browser lifetime, so if a favicon isn't being loaded, it won't be until after restarting Chrome. It appears that it doesn't show up in the "application" tab in dev tools and isn't cleared by a hard reload or 'Clear site data'.
A common issue where the favicon will not show up when expected is cache, if your .htaccess for example reads:
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"
Then simply add a random value to your favicon reference:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://example.com/favicon.ico?r=31241" type="image/x-icon" />
Works every time for me even with heavy caching.
Another reason for Chrome not displaying the favicon is that it still remembers a time when the site in question did not have a favicon or the favicon was incorrectly configured.
You're going to want to completely wipe the favicon cache:
Exit all running Chrome processes.
Delete the Favicons file in your user data folder. For example:
C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Favicons
This can not be resolved by clearing the browser cache, as it does not affect the Favicons container.
Also note that, contrary to what you might read online, requests to favicon resources are not shown in the Network panel of the DevTools. Under very rare circumstances, one such request may show up there, but it is highly unlikely and the DevTools will not help you solve your favicon woes.
1) Clear your chache. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582 And test another browser, lets say safari. How did you import the favicon?
2) How you should add it:
Normal favicon:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
PNG/GIF favicon:
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.gif" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />
3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver).
4) Try to rename it from favicon.{whatever} to {yourfaviconname}.{whatever} but I would suggest you to still have the normal favicon. This has solved my issue on IE.
5) Found another solution for this which works great! I simply added my favicon as Base64 Encoded Image directly inside the tag like this:
<link href="data:image/x-icon;base64,AAABAAIAEBAAAAEAIABoBAAAJgAAACAgAAABACAAqBAAAI4EAAAoAAAAEAAAACAAAAABACAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AIaDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCGg4L/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCGg4L/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhoOC/////wCGg4L/hoOC/4aDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv////8AhoOC/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AIaDgv////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AIaDgv////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCGg4L/////AHCMqP9wjKj/cIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo/////wCGg4L/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhoOC/////wBTlsIAU5bCAFOWwgBTlsIAU5bCM1OWwnP///8AhoOC/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AU5bCBlOWwndTlsLHU5bC+FOWwv1TlsLR////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AFOWwvtTlsLuU5bCu1OWwlc2k9cANpPXqjaT19H///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wBTlsIGNpPXADaT1wA2k9dINpPX8TaT1+40ktpDH4r2tB+K9hL///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////ADaT1wY2k9e7NpPX/TaT16AfivYGH4r23R+K9u4tg/WQLoL1mP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wA2k9fuNpPX5zaT1zMfivYGH4r23R+K9uwjiPYXLoL1+S6C9W7///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8ANpPXLjaT1wAfivYGH4r22x+K9usfivYSLoL1oC6C9esugvUA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AH4r2zx+K9usfivYSLoL1DC6C9fwugvVXLoL1AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AB+K9kgfivYMH4r2AC6C9bEugvXhLoL1AC6C9QD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wAugvXyLoL1SC6C9QAugvUA////AP//AADgBwAA7/cAAOgXAADv9wAA6BcAAO+XAAD4HwAA+E8AAPsDAAD8AQAA/AEAAP0DAAD/AwAA/ycAAP/nAAAoAAAAIAAAAEAAAAABACAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8AhISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP8AAAAA////AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/wAAAAD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP/4+vsA4ujuAOLo7gDi6O4A4ujuAN3k6wDZ4OgA2eDoANng6ADZ4OgA2eDoANng6ADW3uYAJS84APj6+wCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/9Xd5QBwjKgAcIyoRnCMqGRwjKhxcIyogHCMqI9wjKidcIyoq3CMqLlwjKjHcIyo1HCMqLhogpwA/f7+AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AISEhP+EhIT/xtHcAHCMqABwjKjAcIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo4EdZawD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP+2xNMAcIyoAHCMqJhwjKjPcIyowHCMqLFwjKijcoymlXSMpIh0jKR6co2mbG+OqGFqj61zXZO4AeXv9gCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/6i5ygDF0dwAIiozACQyPQAoP1AALlBmADhlggBblLkGVJbBPFOWwnxTlsK5U5bC9FOWwv9TlsIp3erzAISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AAAAAAAAAAAALztHAAAAAAAuU2sAU5bCClOWwkNTlsKAU5bCwFOWwvhTlsL/U5bC/1OWwv9TlsL/U5bC/ViVvVcXOFAAAAAAAAAAAAD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AAAAAAAAAAAALDhEALVFoAFOWwjpTlsL6U5bC/1OWwv9TlsL/U5bC/1OWwvxTlsLIV5W+i2CRs0xHi71TKYzUnyuM0gIJHi4AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wAAAAAAAAAAACtNZABTlsIAU5bCD1OWwv1TlsL6U5bCxFOWwoRVlsBHZJKwDCNObAA8icJAKYzUwimM1P8pjNT/KYzUWCaCxgALLUsAAAAAAAAAAAD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AAAAAAApS2EAU5bCAFOWwgBTlsIAU5bCNVOWwgg+cJEAIT1QABU/XQA1isg4KYzUuymM1P8pjNT/KYzU/ymM1LAti9E0JYvmDhdouAAAAAAAAAAAAP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AFyk1AE+PuQBTlsIAU5bCAER7nwAmRVoADBojABRFaQAwi80xKYzUsymM1P8pjNT/KYzU/ymM1LgsjNE2MovXFB+K9MUfivbBH4r2BgcdNAARQH8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wAAAAAAAQIDABIgKgAPGiIABRMcABdQeQAti9AqKYzUrCmM1P8pjNT/KYzU/ymM1MAqjNM9HmqmACWK7SIfivbZH

Used this page here for this: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp
For me the problem was that there was a div above it (which of course shouldn't have been in the head, but it happens). Firefox didn't mind, but Chrome did.
It doesn't look like Chrome allows you to display the favicon in the address bar...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#Use_of_favicon
I've also seen it done like this. Don't know if it would make a difference or not.
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
This is a bug in Chrome and Chrome only. To trigger the bug:
Set in your HTML <head> block: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="favicon.ico">
Load the page with one favicon.ico image, then replace the favicon.ico file with a different one. You will not be able to get the new one to display, even if you use Classic Cache Killer or use incognito mode (security breach, anyone?). You can use another browser to confirm.
To solve the bug: Do a forced reload, by pressing shift + F5.
This is such a massive bug in Chrome, that it's already been reported to their developers, who have suggested using this method as solving the their bugs. (Source: GoogleSupport.)
This trick works: add this script in header or masterPage for Example
var link = document.createElement('link');
link.type = 'image/x-icon';
link.rel = 'shortcut icon';
link.href = '/favicon.png';
and will be cached. It's not optimal, but it works.
The path must be via the URI (full).
Like: http://example.com/favicon.png
so in your case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile">
<title></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon"
type="image/png"
href=" http://example.com/favicon.png" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Ref:
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
Note if you have so many tabs open that Google Chrome is only showing the favicons then Google Chrome won't show the favicon for the selected tab, so if you keep reloading the tab with your page loaded in order to see your new favicon you will only see the text of your page's title.
You will need to reload your page, and then select a different tab in order to see your favicon.
I moved ico file to root folder and link it. It worked for me.
Also, in chrome, I have to wait 30 mins to get cache cleared and new changes to take affect.
These are the locations where browsers store the Temporary data in Linux:
Note: you can see hidden files in File Manager using Ctrl + H
for Terminal use the command ls -la
Chromium
~/.cache/chromium/[profile]/Cache/
Google Chrome
~/.cache/google-chrome/[profile]/Cache/
Also, Chromium and Google Chrome store some additional cache at
~/.config/chromium/[profile]/Application Cache/Cache/
and
~/.config/google-chrome/[profile]/Application Cache/Cache/
and generally here:
/tmp/
so to apply new FAVICON or try to show it up is to clean them
make sure u are inside each of these directories use the command:
rm -rf *
There's one more possibility that no-one else seems to have mentioned: You may have exported your .ico file with settings that Chrome does not support.
Another possibility is your .ico lacks a 16px image, and so may display nothing, even though you have other resolutions.
I would suggest trying different settings on your .ico exporter, or trying another one altogether.
One potential problem is that the server is not replying with a correct file type when the browser fetches the favicon,
using Base64 is a good workaround
This issue was driving me nuts! The solution is quite easy actually, just add the following to the header tag:
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
Your html is completely wrong for starters, there should not be a div within your head section, nor after your body section. I suggest you look into correct html first before starting to work with favicons etc.
