I'm having an issue with linking html and Css and have no idea why. I'm doing everything like the book and tutorials says. However, I'm not getting to do the external configuration of css.
This is the code(just a test):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang = "eng">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0">
<title>title</title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" href="/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
</body>
</html>
and CSS:
body {
background-color:#CCCCCC;
}
h1 {
color:#0000EE;
}
Maybe I miss something, because when I do internal css (within my html code with ) it goes ok and the web browser is able to read that. It seems like the html is not linked with css, but it's even on the same folder so the path shouldn't be the problem.
I'm using Linux and Aptana Studio.
I've searched a lot the last 2 hours and cannot find where the mistake is.
I invite you to read this article Absolute and Relative Paths
Then we pass to your code:
<link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" href="/styles.css">
Should be :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
Your styles.css should be in the same folder as your html file.
To verify that you have an error , check Console of your browser,you will be noticed that your file doesn't exist(404 error).
An other way to make your css working is to integrate it inside your page without separation:
Example:
<style type='text/css'>
body {
background-color:#CCCCCC;
}
h1 {
color:#0000EE;
}
</style>
If the other suggestions don't work, you can try re-saving the HTML and CSS sheets with "UTF-8" encoding and declare UTF-8 encoding in the HTML under the <head> with <meta charset="utf-8>"
The rel attribute should just have stylesheet in it, singular not plural as well
I had the same problem correct the correct directory structure solved my problem. This is a good visualiton on how to organize your directory structure.
http://rosebusch.net/jeff/miscellaneous/tree.html
That is, the index.html folder is on the same level as the CSS folder. If you want to put index.html in a HTML folder, to link to the CSS folder you would have to backout first by linking href="../css/stylesheet.css". The ".." will take you up a level.
Make sure style.css is in your root web directory since that is where you are calling it from
Don't put the / in front of styles.css and make sure they are in the same folder.
Try this instead:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- Language was wrong? -->
<html lang = "en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0">
<title>title</title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<!-- Check the path to the file - I made it relative to where the HTML is -->
<!-- Correct the rel attribute's value too -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
</body>
</html>
If all the above not working:
1- Make sure you have no inline/internal CSS > Delete all style code from the Html page (it ll prevent external css link)
If your CSS file are in another folder then use
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="folder-name/styles.css">
I found out while Using Visual Studio Code and adding quotes that it was quoting automatically. So when I put in quotes and looked in the index.html of the index it was quoting the quotes (Bad News). Try link
<href=FILENAME.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css />
Hope this works! Also, if you want Multiple CSS files, organize them in a folder, if you do so in FILENAME put /FOLDERNAME/FILENAME.css
BUT make SURE it is under the main folder where your Index is!
just try tasking off the / in front of the style.css
Place your link in the head tag or body tag, it is best to put it in the head tag.

My CSS file somehow not loaded when i clicked my html file directly in my folder. But somehow with vscode when go live after compiling the scss to css it works fine.
do you guys have any idea why?
I place my css file in dist folder when using the Live Sass Compiler.
I tried open the html directly from folder using all the browser i have but the css not loaded.
body {
background-color: aqua;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/test.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1> TEST </h1>
</body>
</html>
Because you use absolute path, you should use relative path
instead of /dist/test.csstry dist/test.css
If you want to read more, here is an article about absolute/relative path:
https://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/absolute-vs-relative-pathslinks/
The preview work on vscode because vscode probably use a localserver to run your html file. something like localhost:3000/index.html. So in this case your html file is at the root of the domain, that's why the absolute path will be the same as the relative path
You can try this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/dist/test.css"/>
you can try ./dist/test.css, this will also works fine
I am trying to link my CSS and HTML. My CSS file is in static folder where as index file in templates folder.
code : Header of index.html
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>BMI App</title>
<link href="C:\Users\Shweta\MFRTPPython\static\main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
Even after providing it's proper path, I am unable to link them.
Try using below way, it is almost similar of what you've used but you need to know how to locate the external file.
If you have a file in a location which is outside from the project folder then you can try something like this:
<link href="file:///C:\Users\Shweta\MFRTPPython\static\main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
OR
if you know about how absolute and relative path works then below is what you can try:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./yourDirectory/yourFile.css"
My advice to you is to create a folder in your project and add that stylesheet file into that folder and refer that path in the html.
Kindly go through this path for better understanding of absolute and relativepath.
I'm trying to link p1.css to p1.html, but for some reason it's not working. It's in a file on my desktop called 115, and in a file inside called css, but no matter what I add or take away it won't show up. What am I doing wrong?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>CIS 115 - Project 1</title>
<p lang="en"></p>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="Project 1" content="">
<meta name="Kim Peoples" content="Kim Peoples">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="115/css/p1.css">
<script src="115/p1/p1.js"> </script>
</head>
this is the css, which is I'm in the process of making but I want to make sure it links first.
body {
background-color: green;
}
Im assuming that you are viewing/accessing your file via desktop. Though not clearly sure if you are using localhost server or not. Here's what I think what was your file tree flow..
/115
-/css
-- p1.css
-/p1
-- p1.js
- index.html
Then in your HTML, it should look like this.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>CIS 115 - Project 1</title>
<meta name="description" content="Kim Peoples - CIS 115 Project">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/p1.css">
<script src="p1/p1.js"> </script>
</head>
Note: Since you are initiating the index inside your 115 folder, you don't have to include 115 folder to your internal files. Just simple append the folders of your media files and CSS/JS files.
first you have to press ctrl + u on browser window and check css path
has been coming or not? after click it css will be display properly
or not ?
if still issue then check with inspect element in browser. press f12
in browser window.
still issue then you can use element property in !important; in css
code
Maybe try ../115/css/p1.css?
Seems like your absolute path is incorrect.
Here is a link to more information about absolute paths and relative paths:

Hopefully this is helpful to you.
Happy Coding!
The main.css is located in a folder named css, and the index.html is outside the folder.
<head>
<title>Tornike's Page</title>
<link rel = "stylesheet" type="text/css" href = "css/main.css">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
My Code
The Website and developer tools
I think you don't have folder structure. If you really have it and does not works then you can try ./css/main.css. Otherwise I'd tried to go with main.css.
I fixed it guys, Just needed to edit my path so it would say : "Website/css/main.css" , Thanks for answers.
I have an image, and from what I've seen in W3schools you can just use
body background = farm.jpg
And that works, but it says and I've seen people say this, that it can work with css with
background-image: url(farm.jpg) (with and without quotes)
yet whenever i try it can't find the picture.Do I need to put it in a separate folder?
It depenteds to where is your css file , put your css file and image file into same place, and try below
background-image: url("frame.jpg");
Or you can use / to start from root folder.
background-image: url("/frame.jpg");
Read this.
(1) https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_body_background.asp
Unfourtunately the background attribute is not supported in HTML5. You must use CSS instead.
(2) You can use the code example form this page, what works:
https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/CSS/Eigenschaften/Hintergrundfarben_und_-bilder/background-image
For example:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Your page</title>
<meta name="description" content="The HTML5 page">
<meta name="author" content="Your Name">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css?v=1.0">
<style>
body {
background-image: url("background.png");
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Test.</p>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps.
