I'm trying to use a CDN on Bootstrap to increase performance to my website. However when referencing the CSS directly it works whereas using the CDN doesn't.
How would I go about resolving this- my code is attached bolow. ?
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<html>
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<a class="brand" href="#">Matt's Homepage</a>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>Website</li>
<li>Twitter</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn">Click Here to Visit my Blog
</div>
</html>
As others have mentioned, using a CDN is usually as easy as adding:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/css/bootstrap.min.css"
rel="stylesheet">
into your HTML. But this doesn't work when you are loading your html from a local file.
The reason is the missing protocol. When using a CDN, it's usually a good idea not to specify the protocol, so that your browser will use either http or https depending on the protocol used to get your html in the first place.
This is important because if your server is using https, it is better to have all references using https to avoid browsers (specially IExplorer) complaining about mixing content. On the other hand, using a protocol-less URL for CDN is more cache friendly (http://encosia.com/cripple-the-google-cdns-caching-with-a-single-character/).
Unfortunately, a protocol-less URL is a bad idea if the protocol is file://. So if you are creating private HTML that will be loaded from your disk, then you should add the protocol and use the CDN like this:
<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/css/bootstrap.min.css"
rel="stylesheet">
I hope this will be useful to someone...
Hi Akkatracker I appreciate your question; it helped me. You can use a CDN for Bootstrap. Here is a simple complete html example where you do not have to download bootstrap since you are linking to a public content distributed network of the css & js files.

<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Please note JQuery needs to come before bootstrap.js. The order of our JavaScript libraries is significant.
Hope this helps

I am new to using Twitter Bootstrap as well as BootstrapCDN. I did some brief experimenting tonight and I made my site look correct, well almost, using the following 'Head'.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<!--append ‘#!watch’ to the browser URL, then refresh the page. -->
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap-

<!-- Fav and touch icons -->

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="img/favicon.png">
</head>
So I have replaced the old style sheets with the ones provided at BootstrapCDN.com. I am not sure if it is proper to replace the existing stylesheets, but here goes to experimentation and my result is so so...
This gets everything styled almost right; well maybe its styled totally right. I am still stepping through the DOM tools to see why my modals are non-functional. I suspect my issue with the modals is the JavaScript and the fact the site was just migrated from a local folder.

I am experimenting with bootstrap css but it just isn't loading on my browser, I've even published the page on my server, It doesn't even render the css styles. Now other example pages load fine on my browser. Just the ones I download locally are giving me an error.
Here's what I've tried out so far:
Validated the HTML to see if I'm making some sort of syntax error but thats not the case. It came clean as a whistle.
Downloaded the bootstrap.css and locally referenced it in the html just in case it was something with my server fetching the file but that didn't worked either.
Lastly, I thought that this might had something to do with my text editor's text encoding or perhaps the end-of-line character incompatibility so I went to codeply.com and executed the damn thing in their online editor and good lord, it didn't worked there.
To clarify further, this is how the page is supposed to look like
against how It does look like
I can see that the css styles are partially applied as the page is not showing default html fonts and styles. I even tried changing permissions of the index.html file to 777 in case that was causing trouble but all in vain so far.
Here's a link to my raw html in codeply.com

Might try writing the script tag such as this:
<script src="./js/bootstrap.main.js"></script>
Also, the same for the link tags which includes your bootstrap file locally:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/bootstrap.min.css">
Also, the preferred order for CSS and JS files are as follows:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Bootstrap stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/bootstrap.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap-theme.css" integrity="sha384-rHyoN1iRsVXV4nD0JutlnGaslCJuC7uwjduW9SVrLvRYooPp2bWYgmgJQIXwl/Sp" crossorigin="anonymous">

<!-- Bootstrap JS File -->
<script src="./js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<!-- Custom JS File -->
<script src="./js/custom.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Script imported at the bottom has a http, it might have got blocked by your browser. Also writing <script src="js/bootstrap.main.js"></script> might not work in codeply. Also, try importing other js files after standard libraries like jquery.
To get Bootstrap into your page, simply paste the code below into the <head> section of your template.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">

The problem is that firefox doesn't load css styles. It works well in chrome. I tried to run this page on two different pcs with same result.
Why firefox doesn't load styles?
You can check out the page here
There had been a few issues:
1) typo here text no text:
instead of :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="test/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
it should:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
Another typo:
use:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="static/music/style.css">
IMPORTANT type="text/css" is deprecated so you don't need it.
This is not correct either:
I hope that helped.
Take away the type attribute from both links, and it should now work.
So I have spent more than an hour trying to figure this out.
I am trying to use a ToolTip from html5-kickstart and it doesn't seem to work when I use it, but the kickstart's kitchen sink works fine. I even copied all of their code into my web server and it didn't work?
I copied their headers and it didn't work, copied their code and it didn't work.
I am using Apache 2 pretty much out of the box. everything else html5 seems to work fine, but kickstart's tool tip.
Here is my code.

Please note that all this code is generated by my PHP code. So it is a dynamic site, but this is all that matters concerning HTML5 Kickstart.
Ok I finally figured it out.
The kitchen sink displays an older version of the package, and it uses an older version of jQuery.
My 1st mistake was that I had the old version of jQuery.
My 2nd mistake was that I was calling jQuery after I called kickstart.js. jQuery needs to come first.
I hope this help others down the road.
I just can't get scrollspy from bootstrap 3 to work.

Your problem is very clear if you open Inspect Element and look at the #side-nav's lis. You need to style the style on the .active class they provide you.
#PSL said you missed something and said they provide a styled .active class. But based on your website, I don't see the style in Inspect Element. (The official zipped website also dosen't have the .active style in bootstrap.css, they added in a custom bs-doc.css which included the style)
The correct troubleshooting would be styling the css yourself:
Which is #side-nav > .nav > .active in css. Try to put a font-weight: bold; in it.
I had this same problem before, so I would recommend you to download the official zipped bootstrap website and change upon them. A tip here: Bootstrap change a lot even though the version doesn't change, so you can also download the newest css and try.
I'm sure this is a really simple question, but I'm a noob and can't figure it out. I'm trying to mess around with the Twitter-Bootstrap starter template to help myself learn HTML, CSS, and JS. I copied and pasted the source code into TextWrangler and opened the html file in Firefox. No bootstrap functionality.
I'm almost certain it's because lines like <link href="../assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"> need to be altered to reflect the css/js files' addresses on my own computer. If that's the problem, how do I do this?
Here is the source code:

You're right in your assumption that it's because of the <link href="../assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"> line.
This line is a reference to the css file. What you will need to do is save the bootstrap files to your computer in folder somewhere.
To do this, download bootstrap from http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/ and copy the css, img and js folders into your folder.
Now in your file in TextWrangler change the href attribute to "css/bootstrap.css" it will look like this <link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">.
Now save your file as index.html in the same directory as the other folders you copied in.
You will want to do the same for all other references like this one for instance <link href="../assets/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">.
You will also see at the bottom there are references to some JavaScript files. Change those too.
Good luck!
