I have searched for this and tried a few different keywords. I'm trying to learn and use Boostrap. I thought I had a good grasp on it a few months back. But now I have a problem with just the stock files working. I want to work with Jumbotron and the static Navbar. After I save the static navbar file and it's CSS and change it's locations, the drop down menu doesn’t work...
The only two things I did to the code is change the CSS locations for the navbar.css and bootstrap.min.css. When I try it in Chrome, FF & Safari, I get nothing and the # appears next to .html# in the address bar.
What am I missing. I'm sorry this is probably super easy, but I cant see it. Thank you for any help :)
literally I change two things from the code from here - http://getbootstrap.com/examples/navbar-static-top/ and save the css from navbar-static-top.css
<link href="../../dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="navbar-static-top.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/navbar-static-top.css" rel="stylesheet">
It's OK, dumb problem solved. I forgot that Boostraps adds the JS at the bottom and I forgot to change the dir for the bootstrap.min.js file. All working and proper now :)

I'm trying to add my .css file, but it is not working and not applying.
But when I put the same style code in HTML it works, so the problem is links, but I think I am doing it right.
enter image description here
I have also tried putting <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> but I know I gotta put the folder names too, so both don't work.
Also, something was wrong with linking, because I tried putting in <img> and it still wouldn't link or show but when I tried online image, it would link.
change the 9th line as
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/style.css">
because u need to go back from dashboard.html use"../"
Then goes to the stylesheet file as "static/style.css"
Path should be ../static/style.css in href attribute

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">

this is the path of my external css folder.
but my prof is using this 👇
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
and she is getting desired outputs
so pls help me out with that.....
Try this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/style.css">
the ./ means that the path start from the current folder where your Html file is located
You need to put your HTML file and CSS file in same folder which make your work easierhere is the example if you I am not understandable
My CSS file will not work and I have tried everything. They are both in the same "templates" directory in the app titled "bake".
Using a simple example that doesn't work, here's my HTML head and the code I'm trying to change:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>DataBake</title>
</head>
<body>
<th style="text-align:right"> <h5 id="green">Username:</h5></th>
<p id="test">If you're new to DataBake please register here.</p>
</body>
Here is my CSS file:
#charset "UTF-8";
#green{
color: green;
}
h5{
color: green;
}
#test{
color: red;
}
The CSS works when neither the HTML nor the CSS are in directories and they are the only two files I'm working with. But other than that, I have putting the css file in a separate directory. I have tried changing the link to the 'style.css' to using relative and absolute paths.
When I follow the link from the HTML , it takes me right to the CSS file. When I load the css file independently, it loads fine.
Both files are encoded to UTF-8.
I have cleared my cache and history and reloaded countless times.
I have moved the order between it and my bootstrap link around.
I have used different browsers.
I have checked for typos or little mistakes.
My coding teacher couldn't figure it out either.
Can someone help me figure out why it is not working?
UPDATE
When I put the absolute path into my browser, it works perfectly, but the relative path through my localhost turns up a 404 error for the css stylesheet.
FOUND THE ANSWER
I needed to incorporate {% load static %} into the header, and turn the href of the stylesheet link to "{% static 'css/style.css' %}". Couldn't be happier to finally have this solved.
First of all: There are many things that in my opinion could have been written better when drafting this question.
It's very difficult to help you with your problem when there's so little shared. You should at least share some code where you're actually using the styling. Time to time there's just some typos you end up missing and extra pair of eyes might pick them up.
The one thing that comes to mind that you could try is adding space between the css selector and the bracket. So not #green{ but rather #green {.
I'm suggesting this just because few months ago I agonized with some styles that did not show up in my React project where I was using css-modules. It took embarrassingly long time until I noticed that the class giving me grief was written without the space before bracket and it just didn't compile correctly.
try and remove bootstrap (or add it before you include your file). What kind of server are you using ? maybe it is serving your css file as TXT/html (look at it on the server response, which would mean your browser may not accept it as a stylesheet)
You have to put 1 more dot before ./
I hope it would work.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css">
EDIT: I never said that the problem was the dot anyway. The OP should share the entire CSS file together with more information so we could help find the answer.
I've never seen a reference to a path using a dot like:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css">
You should ask yourself if the file is in the same directory as the file referencing it? above? below?
Starting with “/” returns to the root directory and starts there
Starting with “../” moves one directory backwards and starts there
Starting with “../../” moves two directories backwards and starts there
Other than that, is difficult to understand the issue without more details, many things can cause this problem.
can someone tell me how I can change for example the background-color globaly.
I made it with ''. Whitout skeleton I would do it classic with a style.css file based in css directory.
When I try to change the body entrys in the skeleton.css file, nothing happened :(
What is the to do for skeleton?
Thank you in advance.
Skeleton doesn't change anything about how html and css will interact. Skeleton is basically just pre-built css file. You can still include styles.css with a second link tag, i.e.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/skelton.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css"/>
If I try and link my CSS to my HTML page with either cssstyle2.css ||fifastream1.0/cssstyle2.css or even %fifastream1.0%/cssstyle2.css it wont display any of the CSS on the webpage. (FF, IE, Chrome). I've uploaded my CSS page to stackoverflow before and apparently its fine.
Obviously its no good if I can only get my webpage to 'properly' work on my drive. Soo any idea's why FF, IE or Chrome cant pick up my CSS?
Been working on this for a few weeks now, as a complete beginner. Would be great help if someone could find the answer! I've searched and tried everything.
This is the link in the of the HTML (if this helps at all)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="C:///*****/******/Desktop/FifaStream1.0/cssstyle2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media"screen"/>
<title> Fifa Stream </title>
</head>
<body>
When everything is in the same foldre you should use the following:
<link href="cssstyle2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media"screen"/>
When you're CSS file is in a different folder use:
<link href="folder/cssstyle2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media"screen"/>
If your CSS file is one directory above the html file then use:
<link href="../cssstyle2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media"screen"/>
To have relative referencing, ur CSS needs to be in at least somewhat referential place. for example, if the page is in Users/whatever/index.html, your CSS would be in Users/whatever/css/style.css. Then your reference would be to "css/style.css"
A quick reference guide:
<!--
./filename or filename = same folder as page location
../filename = folder above that of page folder location
/filename = root folder of project
-->
If your CSS file is in a completely different location than your page file, it can't possibly be found unless you provide the full path as you had to.
