Absolute paths for CSS files in ASP.net - html

I had an error in my asp website when I deployed it to IIS6 telling me that I cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory. I searched around google and viewed similar questions posted here at stackoverflow and saw recommendations to replace my relative paths ... with ~.
Here is the path for my CSS folder:
LMS\assets\css
Where the page is located that tries to access the CSS:
LMS\MasterPages
My project structure:
LMS
-->assets
-->css
-->MasterPages
-->Default.aspx
However, I can't seem to get my paths working. My Default.aspx cannot find my CSS file. Here is an example:
Working:<link href="../assets/css/globalStyles.css" rel="stylesheet" runat="server"/>
Alt 1:href="~/assets/css/globalStyles.css"
Alt 2:href="~\\assets\\css\\globalStyles.css"
Alt 3:href="<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/assets/css/globalStyles.css") %>"
All of these alternatives don't work. When I debug my site, no styles are present and all are just plain texts. Google Chrome pointed out that my path was being read incorrectly. It was read as:
http://localhost:2981/LMS/Admin/~/assets/css/globalStyles.css.
Can share some thoughts on why this is happening? Why can't my page find my CSS files? I even tried to bind the Page Header in page load but its still not working.
Some ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You have to resolve the path "~/assets/css/globalStyles.css" using Page.ResolveUrl (WebForms) or Url.Content (MVC) - so your Alt 3 must work. Look at the page html through browser's "View source" - what is href there?

Either -> Url.Content("~/assets/css/globalStyles.css")
Or you can directly use -> href="/assets/css/globalStyles.css"

Why is my html image scr searching into the url instead of my directory?

I have an html file in which I would like to display an image called plot.png with the line <img src="plot.png" alt="Stock price vs. predictions graph">. On my website, I only see the alt text, meaning that my image did not load properly. In my command prompt output I see that I have a get request to /mysite/home/AAPL/plot.png, which is extremely frustrating because this means that when I search for the image this code is just placing it in the url (which is localhost../mysite/home/AAPL). I have tried putting plot.png in the same working directory as my html file as well as trying the absolute path to plot.png starting with C:, but nothing seems to get the search out of the url. Please help, thanks!
If it helps, im using Django
You can put the image in the same working directory (in the same folder as your html file) and then use
<img src="./plot.png" alt="Stock price vs. predictions graph">
The "./" is important as it signals that the image is in the current folder.
You could also use a website like www.linkpicture.com to generate a link to host your image and then use that link in your img
Some web browsers automatically disable images from loading. Fixing this could be as simple as selecting “show all images” from the browser's settings menu. It's also worth checking if the device you're using has security software or extensions that could block images.
Again you can use this tag for .png type photo
<img src="exampel.end">
//use extension type .end instead of .png
I forgot to mention that I was using the Django framework and the html templates work much differently than regular html files do. In Django you must put the image in a static folder and then call if with Jinja like so: <img src="{% static 'mysite/image.PNG' %}">

Bootstrap CSS & JSP

hope you're doing fine.
I am currently stuck with my Web App project. This is the context: I would like to code a Web App using J2E. There's a free template that I liked and thus I decided to download it. When starting to use it I notice the CSS isn't applied.
Instead of having this, I have this:
However I do not see where the error is. The CSS & Bootstrap files should be visible in the JSP file and IntelliJ recognizes them. However I can't display these files (whether css or even pictures) that are referenced in "href".
Here's the project structure and code, maybe something's wrong there.
I'm used to HTML and to my understanding JSP isn't too different. Are the referencings different though?
Thanks in advance for any help you'll give,
Fares
YES.
Found the answer. Put resources in different folder than WEB-INF.
I believe that, your HTML file is inside the WEB-INF folder, for the to work either remove the WEB-INF path
<link href='style/stylesheet.css'>
or move your HTML one folder up.

replace HTML image source with SSI tag

i'm trying to change the image displayed on my website with an SSI tag.
What i'm trying to do is this
<img src="<!--#tag2-->" alt="randompicture">
My webserver is running on a STI M7 microcontroller, i know my ssi is working with this website. With ssi i just send the file location: ./files/logo.png
Does anybody can help me to get this working?
I know there are a lot of different options to do this, but i can only use SSI/CGI since these are the only protocols i have implemented in my micrcontroller. I'm not a webdesigner and only have basic HTML/CSS skills but i'm open for every solution!
Thank you all.
SOLVED:
Well i solved my own problem. Instead of replacing the file name in the image source with an SSI tag. I just replaced the complete html code line for including an image and replaced this with my SSI tag....

Images not displaying in Github Pages?

I added a project site to my Github project. But some photos are not displaying in the site.
Img code:
<img src="img/screenshot2.PNG" class="img-responsive" alt=""> </div>
folder structure (img is a folder):
img
Screenshot2.png
index.html
I tried with .png and .PNG (some earlier SO answers suggested it) and none of them work
Any solutions?
Nevermind, I solved it.
If anyone has the same problem.
GitHub Pages are case sensitive. Not only for folders, but also for image names.
Write what you see.
It is Screenshot2.png. With a lower-case png and a capital S at the start.
As #dnivog mentioned, GitHub's servers take a little time to update files.
If nothing of the above addresses your situation, just check back in a little while. ⏳
Adding my two cents for googlers: Git Pages seem to ignore the directories starting with underscore, so make sure you don't have <a href="_images/whatever.jpg">.
yes, i have the same problem
There are two most powerful ways to solve it
pay attention to the writing of image extensions, because on github pages Images.png is different from images.png
if in your code you write src on image like this src="/images/images.png" just remove / at the beginning of the section, and it will solve your problem.
While hosting a website on Github,I faced the same issue.The image file was saved as an .jpg extension on my local(in small letters) and It was working fine. I pushed the same to github. That did not work.
I had to change the extension to .JPG (in caps)since it was the original extension of the image.Github Pages are case sensitive to the name of the files being uploaded.
I had this problem today. I solved it by:
Double-check the Case Sensitive of the images (i.e. Screenshot.png isn't the same as Screenshot.PNG or even screenshot.png)
Double-check the PATH of the image. For me; It was ../img/myImg.jpg, and I changed it to ./img/myImg.jpg to point to the current directory of the project
After fixing the 2 mentioned issue above, it worked fine... Hope it help you get unstuck!
I had a folder on my laptop named "assets", but when I pushed to Github it became "Assets". I had to change it in my HTML so I could view the images on the Github page
The repo on my laptop:
The repo on GitHub:
I had a similar issue, except I used git-lfs to manage the images. GitHub Pages doesn't support LFS, which will prevent the image from being displayed.
I tried using both JPG or jpg but it didn't work.
I tried below steps and it worked fine.
Try using the complete path. Let's say your image is inside repo-name/img/pic.jpg. Then use https://username.github.io/repo-name/img/pic.jpg instead of just /img/pic.jpg.
for anyone still scrolling through the answers:
do the following steps:
Make sure the image has actually been uploaded on your remote. On your main repo page , click on the name of the image, and see if it opens: if yes continue to next step
Load the site with "Github pages"
Open up inspect element (DevTools) , go to the html element in your .html file OR your CSS Style where you have defined your src
Here try out all the various solutions that people have described above [what worked for me: I added ./to the beginning of my src => ./name-image
whichever solution works, make that change in your local html or CSS and push to github.
I had this exact same problem, GitHub Pages appears to be case-sensitive for images, and I wrote .JPG instead of .jpg, once I changed my image extension to be lowercase it worked.
I struggled quite a while until I saw one post by Elharony: https://stackoverflow.com/users/5560399/elharony
talking about case sensitivity. It turned out Jupyter notebook is case insensitive for image files, but GitHub is. That solved my problem.
If you are importing file into your JS file and using relative path.
Remember to have the relative path from the HTML file and not from JS file as it'll finally compile into the HTML file only.
my original <img src="images/walnut.png" change to <img src="/blob/main/images/walnut.png"
Will work on github hosting pages
You can try by putting the "image link address" from the github repository, in the 'src' attribute of the 'img' tag of the HTML code of your file.
In case anyone has this problem while using jekyll to build a github site, there's yet another variation on this problem. It's a variation of the several answers above to prepend '.' or '..' on the image path in regular html. In the case of jekyll, which renders markdown source files, what should be prepended is {{site.baseurl}}, where baseurl is provided in the jekyll config file and is the root directory of the github repo. In other words:
![image 1](/images/image1.png "Image 1")
will render locally,
![image 1](./images/image1.png "Image 1")
will render on github pages as per the several answers above, and
![image 1]({{site.baseurl}}/images/image1.png "Image 1")
will render both locally and on github pages, which is the best way to do it with jekyll since all the coding of the site can be done locally in advance of pushing to github.
I had the same issue In my case the issue was of /
<img src="/Images/shared/desktop/logo.svg" alt="" class="logo" />
I was using this for my Image in html in local machine it was working fine
but in github its not displaying image
but when I removed / from the path it worked
<img src="Images/shared/desktop/logo.svg" alt="" class="logo" />
I had the same problem with GitHub pages:
instead of ../img/image.png, I wrote ../img/image.PNG and now it works fine.
I know this is not a solution but somehow worked for me.
Just in case if someone encounters this error!
I had the same problem, and I changed 'img' folder to 'image', then it worked.

Trying to add an image in HTML?

I use Sublime Text 3.0 to code html-based website. As indicated by my username, I'm not much of an expert. I'm having trouble adding an image with sublime text 3.0 using the latest google chrome browser version 44.0.2403.130 m and I run windows 8.1 pro (still waiting for the upgrade to w10 Dx) anyway, I'm pretty sure my software isn't the problem. I can upload images using a externally linked image such as
http://www.examplesite.com/picture.gif
and it will appear but when I try to upload from my own directory as such
<h1><img src="Logo.jpeg" alt="Logo"/>Prespective News</h1>
It will not show up on my web browser, it just shows the alternate text of Logo, is there something wrong with my code? Please help me, I've spent at least 4 hours. trying to figure it out! also it's all my pictures, not just 1.
The image is in the same directory as my HTML file is. When I do the F12, it shows an error:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/Website%202/Logo.jpeg
This is confusing because this is exactly where my file is in:
C:\Users\Owner\Documents\My Web Sites\Website 2\Logo.JPEG
The html file is in
C:\Users\Owner\Documents\My Web Sites\Website 2\idk yet.HTML
The img src URL you provided was probably incorrect. If you open chrome dev tools (F12) you should be able to see (on the network tab) where the image source you are trying to fetch is. Then you can compare it to the path your image actually resides.
Things you can do:
Check if the name matches the one you provide exactly (case sensitive)
Remember the sources you link are relative to your page, so if you put it in a folder it might need to be src="images/Logo.jpeg"
You might be using jpg instead of jpeg, please check that also.
When coding a website you should keep all the required images in a separate image folder and use the source address appropriately.
Suppose you have an image folder in your current working directory then use
img src="image/logo.jpg" />
The reason for this error is your image not found in your specific folder.
Provide correct folder name for the image path. This issue can be easily solved. Use Firebug or F12 keys for troubleshooting.
I usually put my images in a folder aside to the html file so in the same directory
<img src="images/image.jpg" alt="image" title="image of an image" /> <h1>Titre1</h1>
Try it this way maybe. I would seperate the title h1 from the image.
If it doesn't show up it's because Logo.jpeg isn't in the same directory. Since your file name is Logo.JPEG it should be:
<h1><img src="Logo.JPEG" alt="Logo"/>Prespective News</h1>
Capitalisation matters.
I found out what I was doing wrong. Turns out the file is a JPEG but for some reason it's extension is .JPG not with an E. I'm not sure why it's not listed as a .JPEG since the file type is JPEG, anyway thank you for your responses ya'll! I probably wouldn't have figured it out if I wasn't responding and looking at the picture information xD
