I am using ExpressJS. My scripts or CSS will not load.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no"/>
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"/>
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"/>
<title>Customer Info</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/testing.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/testing.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
//body contents
</body>
</html>
I know the problem is not with the location. When I render this EJS view in express none of the scripts are loading. I can not understand why it would work for an almost identical view, but not this one. Any ideas?
Step 1
In your node.js file locate the part where you configure the express.
It would be like.
var express = require('express')
, app = express();
app.configure(function() {
//configure the express codes go here
}
in that check out the line of code where you configure the folder which serves the static files. like images,css, and js. I would be like.
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
here in the above case public should be exactly the name of the parent folder which holds the stylesheets and javascripts folder that you mentioned in the above html.
like
--app.js
--package.json
--views/
--node_modules/
--public/
--stylesheets/
--testing.css
--javascripts/
--jquery-1.9.1.js
--jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.js
--testing.js
Step 2
If the above is configured correctly then you can make sure
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
in config comes ahead of
app.use(app.router);
so that you can make assure that your line is not ignored by a 404 route handler you written in the router.
Step 3
You can inspect the rendered page with Firebug or Chrome inspector and check in the networks tab what was the response you received for the js and css files you have mentioned.
As per you question it should be 404 file not found and if its something else you should update it in the question.
Step 4
If you still cant fix the issue then you have to update the question with the node.js codes you are using. So that we could look into it.
i believe it is that "/" in start of every src line which is not making it load. for example .. use them this way
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheets/testing.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="javascripts/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/testing.js"></script>
well, these scripts and css files are in their respective folders and to reference to them, you just have to start the source from its name directly, e-g src="folder/script.css"
This was if folders are one level above from html file. for example
your index.html file is in folder1
your style.css file is in folder1 >> css
your script.js file is in folder1 >> scripts
then for this level, above suggestion will 100% work. If other types of levels are there, e-g
index.html is in folder1 >> folder2 >> index.html
style.css is in folder1 >> css
script.js is in folder1 >> js
then your src should look like
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./stylesheets/testing.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./javascripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="./javascripts/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./javascripts/testing.js"></script>
please note a "." dot in start. It means the code will reference the file from one folder behind. if the file is 2 folders behind, then use it two times, e-g ././folder1/css
hope that helps
You have to set expressJS to to use static links linking your assets or public folder that contain js and css folders.
express.static(__dirname + '/assets', { maxAge: 24*60*60*1000 }
Then use dots at the beginning of href links or simply add server url instead. e.g. :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/test.css" type="text/css" >

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>
it is hard to understand your problem based on the context you gave. Consider to be more precise and share all of your code. However a couple of ideas:
Your <script> tag should be placed within the <body> ... </body> tag
Use <script type="text/javascript" src="./scripts.js"></script>
Check/ confirm whether your stylesheet "style.css" is working
Check for valid javascript code by testing with simple code such as alert('Test'); in your scripts.js file
I'm trying to include css and js files in my php files on localhost:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/neu/css/bootstrap.min.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/neu/css/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/neu/scripts/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/neu/scripts/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/neu/scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
I'm using xampp with this structure:
css-files:
php-files:
On the source view of the site I can click on the links for the .css and .js files and the correct files are shown.
I also tried href="neu/css/... but the same, the .css and .js are not loading on my page.
Also tried loading the .css from outside (like <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">) but the same.
So it is possible that xampp is blocking somehow the links? Thanks
Edit:
Screenshot from Developer Tools:
If your root folder is neu then I dont think its necessary to add hat in the address. try using ....href="css/... Also I sometimes experience no change in style when I add css until I clear cache.... I think in your case is the address and then try clearing cache
Maybe I just have this whole idea wrong, so lets check this out. I have the following HTML
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<base href="/xyz">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<app-root></app-root>
<script src="runtime.js" defer=""></script><script src="polyfills.js" defer=""></script><script src="main.js" defer=""></script></body>
</html>
Now, when I try to load this in the browser with the following url: http://localhost:8080/xyz
it loads the index.html but for all the assets (styles and javascript files) I get 404
I would expect, because I have that base href="/xyz" that it would prefix all asset urls with that url, but as you can see it doesn't.
For completeness, here is my file structure:
./server.js
./xyz/index.html
styles.css
.....
So the server is serving all the files from the /xyz path
Relative paths are resolved by taking the base URL (http://localhost:8080/xyz), removing everything after the last / in the path (giving you http://localhost:8080/) and then appending the new path (http://localhost:8080/styles.css).
If you want /xyz/styles.css then you need to put a / on the end of your base path: <base href="/xyz/">
I was working on some project and here is "index.html" file of my Angular project.
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="templateApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title> MEAN project template </title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<!-- including App scripts -->
<!-- JQuery -->
<script type="text/javascript"
src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- App scripts -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="configs/app_setup.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
and my project hierarchy as following:
client (contains: configs(folder) & index.html )
bower_components
my curious question here: what are the rules for script tags i expected the above "bower_components" path should not work but it works well.
and the above path and the following one are working without problems, so how that happened although they are different ??!!
<script type="text/javascript"
src="../bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js">
</script>
it seems by default it looks into the root project directory, and then check for relative paths.
This one would make the directory go up one level from the directory that your index.html is located in
<script type="text/javascript"
src="../bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js">
</script>
Where as the following one would make the folder bower_componets be in the same directory as your index.html
<script type="text/javascript"
src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js">
</script>
This is a very simple thing that I can't seem to get to work. What is the correct way for referencing my resources folder in my script and link tags? Is there a trick to this since my URLs are mapped to Spring resources? Do I have to do anything special since my resources folder isn't in my WEB-INF folder? Do I need to move it into the WEB-INF folder? If I do move it there, how would it be referenced inside the WEB-INF folder. I have tried everything I can think of, including....
With folder in current position -
/WebContent/resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
/resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
../../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
/../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
/../../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
With folder inside WEB-INF -
/resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
../../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
/../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
/../../resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
Are any of these right?
I'm getting this in my console when I use 'resources/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js' -
