I have made my first website and in the preview in Safari and Chrome from Dreamweaver it works fine. But after uploading my files with Filezilla to 000webhost and typing in the URL, only the index page loads, links to other pages on the site don't work, images are broken and the css isn't applied.
I'm think it is because I haven't named the files correctly in the code, but I have no idea what to call them in order to get it right.
The file you upload to is public_html. So I've tried http://www.webaddress/public_html/Pages/entertainment.html but it didn't change anything.
Thanks for any help!
Without code examples it's very difficult to answer this, but it's probably just that your URL format is incorrect.
For example, if you've got example.com/example/example.html and that page contains a CSS file with a location of /css/style.css, the web browser will look for example.com/css/style.css because the slash at the beginning of the URL tells it to go to the root.
In this case, your CSS file is probably actually in example.com/example/css/style.css. Remove the beginning slash so the location is css/style.css and the web browser will look for the file using the current page's location as it's starting point.

I have come into an issue where my webpage will not load a background image in any browser if I open it directly into the browser, but if I open it up via a live server addon for VS code it works entirely fine and loads everything correctly. I have videos attatched to the webpage which load entirely fine in both scenarios, and have come to a bit of a deadend...
file's to see if file pathing is incorrect
Where the image should be loaded
The html file calling the class
This is a guess at the moment but it might be, on the second image that you posted, that you have detailed ../../ twice. This is telling the path to back up by two folders then look for the assets folder.
Looking at your file layout. You have an index page then an assets folder which contains a videos folder which contains the image.
You shouldn't need to back up out of the folders using any itteration of ../ from where you index page is located. The correct path might simply be assets/videos/cover_image.jpg
One of the pages on my website is: https://bojanstavrikj.github.io/content/articles/wunderground_scraper_original/wunderground_scraper.html
I started keeping my articles in separate folders. Obviously, once I changed that the whole path is appearing in the browser when opening the article.
What I want is to rewrite this URL as: https://bojanstavrikj.github.io/content/wunderground_scraper
As I understand this can be done with htaccess, but I cannot figure out how to do it.
Just wondering how/why this works, when I'm making a simple html file and linking in some css, then dragging my html file into the browser, no static web server is needed for me to view the file.
Why is that so..
I'm looking at my browser's network tab, and no request is made for the css file, and my browser still displays it perfectly..
Is there a way to do without a static file server on the web for html, css, js files, like when dragging and dropping a file into a browser?
Just going back and requestionning basics here..
Thanks in advance!
Because the link to your CSS file is relative, and your CSS file is accessible locally. Browsers can be used to access local files, not just files on the Internet.
When working with links, you may see just the name of the file referenced, as such:
Link
This is known as a relative link. file.html is relative to wherever the document is that is linking to it. In this case, the two files would be in the same folder.
There's a second type of link, known as an absolute URL, where the full path is specified.
Consider a typical absolute website link:
Link
With a local file, this would essentially be:
Link
The file protocol can be used to access local files.
Considering both the homepage (presumably index.html) and file.html would live in the same folder on both a web server and your local machine, Link would work for either scenario. In fact, with a relative link, the location of the second file is automatically determined based on the location of the first file. In my example, index.html would live at file://[YOUR WEBSITE]/index.html, so your browser is smart enough to known to look in file://[YOUR WEBSITE]/ when searching for any relative URLs.
Note that the same scenario applies to any other file! <link> and <script> tags will look for files in the exact same way -- that includes your stylesheet :)
Hope this helps!
Sounds like you are new to HTML and web development.
It all has to do with relative versus absolute file paths.
Check out these articles and have fun coding! Always remember that Google is your friend, improve your search-foo and you will not have to ask questions like this.
God speed.

How to properly reference local resources in HTML?
When I reference a .pdf in my webpage, the file doesn't open when I click on the link. I referenced the .pdf with the full path and the file is in the www folder.
When I hover over the link online, I can see that the link is to my .pdf on file but it doesn't open.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks (HTML newbie)
Edit 1 - reference:
Filename
Edit 2:
I tried the local links extension and it still isn't opening. I also tried <a href="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf"> and I get a 403 Forbidden error.
Modern browsers block links to file:// URLs from pages that aren't themselves on a file:// URL, and in the same directory tree.
This is a security feature. There are workarounds that you can install locally so it works on one specific computer. See this Mozillazine article.
Sorry - I don't have the rep to comment. But it looks like your ref structure could be wrong.
Try something like:
<a href="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf">
UPDATE: Hmmm?
Have you tried just:
<a href="myfile.pdf">
Also, I found this which (while not directly relevant) has some discussions and links that may assist: How to set height on PDF file when linked to from HTML?
^^ Ignore that - it really is more related to how the pdf opens.
FURTHER:
I am assuming the pdf file name has no spaces in it. I also assume you have a local pdf viewer.
So I had a look at a random website which had a pdf link as an example. When clicked, it opened the pdf in a new tab. I am on chrome.
You may be able to use that to figure out what is wrong.
Here is the page: http://www.staff.uwa.edu.au/procedures/communications/media/uwanews
Looking at the pdf for the first listed file, this was their link:
Issue-10-December-2014 [PDF File, 2.0 MB]
It looks like path should be enough, but you might want to add the target="_blank" to open in a new tab.
Maybe also see this, which shows that users set how a pdf is opened - perhaps the settings on your end need to be set up: How to open link to pdf file in new tab using html
Anyway, I wish you the best. Post your answer when figure it all out.
Usually when I download sites with Httrack I get all the files; images, CSS, JS etc. Today, the program finished downloading in just 2 seconds and only grabs the index.html file with CSS, IMG code etc inside still linking to external. I've already reset my settings back to default but doesn't help. Anyone know how to change it back to function properly?
Does the site have a robots.txt and you're honouring that in your settings?
If it does, you can turn it off in "Options/spider/spider: Never" (according to this article)
