I'm a new web design student and I just learned about Cascading Style sheets and how to link them externally; however, I'm encountering a problem. I have the file linked in my <head> with no problem and the file directory is correct, but my changes are not showing up. If I had a <style> tag or attribute then my CSS works, but not from the external file. Any help?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Protein Structures</title>
<link href="styles/main.css">
</head>
I make this same mistake when I'm in a rush. The problem is, you're linking the file correctly, but the browser doesn't know how to interpret the file. Is it a stylesheet, icon, alternate stylesheet? You need to add the rel attribute and set it equal to stylesheet.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/main.css">
I'm not sure if type="text/css" is still mandatory. I know that when doing Javascript you don't have to have type="text/javascript".
Here's a good link explaining why.
You need to add what the relationship of the link is. Change your <link> tag to:
<link href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet">
You might want to take a look at the documentation for link types to understand why the rel is necessary.
try this i hope this is working.
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css" media="all">

I need some help here.. I tried different links but it does not load the CSS file..
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="https://github.com/cengizkirazjs.github.io/cengizkiraz.github.io/styles.css">
This is the page and the outcome: https://cengizkirazjs.github.io/cengizkiraz.github.io/
Any advice? Its my first time linking CSS with HTML on Github!
As it was said in the comments, what do you think about changing file path a bit?
In your code we have this line
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cengizkiraz.github.io/styles.css">
It contains an absolute path. If you want to stick to this method, maybe just add a protocol, like this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cengizkiraz.github.io/styles.css">
But it would be better if you use relative paths
In this case, our <link> will look like this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
It means that HTML will search for this file in folder, where .html file is saved. Looks slightly better, doesn't it?
i am trying to link a stylesheet in another file. I've tried everything, copied it from multiple websites. But it doesen't seem to work. The css doesen't load any way. This is probably a really dumb mistake somewhere. Maybe it just needs another pair of eyes. The css works fine, what is causing problems is the link tag. What i noticed is, when i try to go to http://localhost:8080/styles.css it gives me Cannot GET /styles.css in plain text. I've tried modifying the permissions of the files, doesen't work. The filename is correct.

I have folders laid out like this
website main folder
css
style.css
html
index.html
I was wondering how to do a <link> tag to go to the CSS folder from index and link to style.css If you have a solution for this, please let me know.
thanks.
for this, you can use the HTML link tag,
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css">
sample :
enter image description here
You could try
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
or post you html code.
You can use this link tag in head tag.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./../css/style.css">
Use this code in HTML file
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<link rel = "stylesheet" href = "../CSS/style.css>
this seems to work, it is just my IDE that docent accept this, but when I load it in my browser it is fine, thanks so much!
I have my HTML file and my CSS file in the same folder, but I can still not find it using the following code:
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="style.css">
If I continue coding, it is stating that "Some content has been disabled in this document" as my program is stating. If I remove the code, it continues to work just normally. I do not know why this is happening, as I have made HTML and CSS programs before, and I was using the same technic.
Okay, so I found a solution. I normally can find my sheets easily using only the name of the file. But It did not work this time, so I did what fmsthird said, trying to put the exact path of my file instead. I totally forgot this feature, and it fixed it. I still do not know why I could not have done the other thing, and I spent 30 minutes trying to fix this.
The solution was so easy, and I totally forgot about it haha.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png">
<title>Website Title</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
you need to add the line into the head as displayed. Also it needs to add: type="text/css"
Could anyone tell me why my page isn't linking to the CSS? I have both HTML and CSS file in the same folder.
Here's my HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type = "text/css" href="style.css">
<title> Flying Fish Painting Company </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Flying Fish Painting Company </h1>
</body>
</html>
And this is my CSS:
h1{
color:blue;
}
It works fine for me.
If I put both files in the same folder then it also works
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
if you put your CSS file in a different folder that time.
Syntax:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="foldername/filename.css">
You should write:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
Could you check the spaces:
type = "text/css"
change to:
type="text/css"
Is this your exact html code or just an example?
There are a couple of spaces before and after your = on the type you should remove.
Personally I find it better to put all css in a subfolder. It shouldn't make a difference however it makes for easier organization.
For a single css style like that I would just put it in line the html unless this is something you want across several html files.
There is nothing wrong with this code except the spaces mentioned above. Works fine for me. Check for typos and make sure it is in the same folder.
