So I just finished working on a site on my computer, and I put it on a flash drive and put it in my public_html folder on my server. When I type in http://localhost/ I get my index page but the css is gone and all the images are gone.
How can I fix this?
Sorry, this question is from years ago. For those interested, the problem was due to permissions on my server.
Ensure that you have put the right path for your css and images.
Make sure that inside your html, the path to your css is correct.
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"
Your href="mystyle.css" should have a correct reference by using ..(dot-dot) just like "../folderName" in case your css file is one or more directory away from you main folder.
Sometimes all that you need to do is clear your browsers cache, which will store the pages current state and will sometimes ignore any new changes to the css and sometimes even images until the cache is cleared.

Something is wrong. When I open my site using localhost then everything is fine. What can be wrong here?
And when I click assets/css/style.css I got error like this:
When ew check Network tab, and click on style.css sotmething weird happens because html file is previewed:
As myself and Quentin mentioned in the comments, it is generally good practice (and the intended effect for most situations) to use /assets/path/to/resource instead of the relative path assets/path/to/resource.
Unless it is intended to leave out that slash (which it isn't in your case, as you said in the comments), you'll need to prefix all the asset links with slashes.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/style.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/scregal.css">
etc.
There is only one possible causes of the problem I know although your question is not so clear.
1.》 Make sure the assets folder is in the same location as your html file.
》Prefix all your href link with a dot. Check the image to see
I faced a problem like this when I wanted to push one of my electron apps to production mode. The dot makes it easy for the packager to load the whole folder.
I am writing my first web application using Flask and SQLAlchemy.
My CSS file is currently saved under a static folder and the styling is correctly applied to my webpage
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='main.css') }}">
However when I try to update it (for example changing the fontweight from bold to normal) it will not show.
I could even remove all the content of my css file and my website will still look the same (as if the content was never deleted).
The only way I found to make updates was to create a new file "main2.css" and update the url link from the HTML file which is very inconvenient.
Has anyone found a better way?
It sounds like your CSS file is cached. You can test this by changing 'main.css' to 'main.css?something'. Some people append a date string or other to their CSS file so it busts cache periodically.
It's possible you're getting the cached version of your CSS. After making updates to your CSS file, have you tried doing a hard reload? How you do this depends on the browser, but for Safari this can be done by holding Shift and clicking the Reload button.
I had the same issues and I realised I couldn’t keep asking my users to do a hard reload. Constantly renaming my static folder (where all CSS/JS files were kept) seemed error-prone from a production devops perspective. Then I found this addon called flask-static-digest, which was adding md5 hashes to the file names as well as gzipping them. It is a good fix for my production server.

Another solution I found was really helpful during testing is to do a full reload in your browser (in my case Google Chrome) by shift-clicking the reload button.
I have created a very small personal website with three different pages and one CSS file. I know to embed a CSS file into an html page is the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"/>
but form some reason the CSS file only work in one page. Any advice please
Did you checked your folders structure? You may have other html file in different folders.
I suggest to use an absolute path for your stylesheet. something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mystyle.css"/>
first / in href parameter is what I mean.
Edit: You may use a windows machine and upload your files into a Linux machine. Windows do not care about lowercase or uppercase, but it is important on Linux. rename all your filenames to lowercase every where and use it exactly the same in your code (check your link tags again). this may fix your problem
Sharing the link of the site would be helpful. Make sure that the line of CSS aboves goes on each page. For example, if you have 3 pages with 3 different files: index.htm, bio.htm and contact.htm (I'm having to guess since I have not gotten this info from you). Then make sure the link to the CSS above appears on each of those pages.
My goal is to have a page, served by a web site, containing a to a stylesheet, that is available not on the web site, and not on a different web site, but on a local drive.
Something like;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="/styles/something.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="file:///C:/custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
My initial research shows that browsers don't seem to support this, but I'm willing to be proved wrong, or discover some sneaky way of doing it. (I tried the above, that doesn't work.)
[I know, I know, you wanna know "why". This is for the site designer - it would allow him to edit the css locally while designing and see the effect on the "semi-live" site. ie the round-trip for edits would be very fast, and I wouldn't need to give him access to the actual site. By extension, for teaching purposes, it would allow multiple people to simultaneously practice their CSS skills locally]
Obviously any edits made to the local file will only be visible on that local computer - that's the whole idea. If you had 10 students each would see the same site with a different css file.
Well, if you can setup Apache on your machine, this is easily done.
This is assuming the question is this
I want to be able to have a site in a
central location (live) and allow users
accessing that site to be able to make
changes to the site by editing a local
file. These changes will only be
visible to the person making the
change and the rest will just see
whatever CSS is on their local copy.
So this means that you have to serve a local file from multiple computers and each person viewing the site may have a different looking copy. If I'm right, read on.
Setup a local environment (maybe with WAMP?) on all the machines you want to be able to allow local edits. The important thing is that everyone must have the same hostname defined (either localhost, or something else - don't forget to add it to your hosts file). Place the CSS file inside your webroot and add a link to your live site pointing to that link.
<link href="http://www.mysite.com/base.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="http://localhost/custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
And voila! Local editing.
Caveats
Everyone needs to have their files placed in the same local URL otherwise it won't work
You need to setup a local environment (very easy)
Just press Shift+F7 on Firefox (or Tools->Web Developer->Style Editor). In the window that opens you can import an entire file or you can also edit the styles loaded.
Obviously, you can't. But why not try it and find out if this didn't work?
If the purpose of your needs is only for testing, i'll advice you install web developer extension where you can add local CSS to a website - for testing only.
Just for the purpose of answering the question, yes he could serve a CSS file to your website, but he would have to have a server installed on his computer and a public access to his server IP.
Then in the href of the stylesheet you would write something like <link href="190.181.169.118/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />.
Of course this is not the recommended solution, i would advise you to use some sort of browser extension / plug in for that.
Yes you can!! Just need Firefox as a browser and you also need add on WEB DEVELOPER installed on it...
It allows to disable the inline CSS and add user CSS...
Download the add on WEBDEVELOPER
Once installed...after you restart firefox you will get a menu on the firefox window in which click on the CSS menu which will allow you options to disable and add user CSS
You will have to disable the inline CSS to see the CSS applied by the user to full effect
When opening a file from your hard drive into your browser, where is the document root? To illustrate, given the following HTML code, if the page is opened from the local machine (file:///) then where should the css file be for the browser to find it?
<link href="/temp/test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
You can, but probably don't want to, set the document root on a per-file basis in the head of your file:
<base href="my-root">
It depends on what browser you use, but Internet Explorer, for example, would take you to the root directory of your harddrive (eg. C:/), while browsers such as Firefox does nothing.
On a Mac, the document root is what you see in the window that appears after you double click on the main hard drive icon on your desktop. The temp folder needs to be in there for a browser to find the CSS file as you have it written in your code.
Actually, you could also write the code like this:
<link href="file:///temp/test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Eric, the document root is the folder in which your file is, wherever it may be.
As far as local, static html goes, unless you specify it, most browsers will take the location of the html file you are viewing as the root. So any css put in there can just be referenced by it's name only.
The lazy way to get the correct reference for your css file is to open it in your browser. Then just grab the url that you see there - something like: file:///blah/test.css and copy that into your stylesheet link on your html: <link href="file:///blah/test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Either that or you can just take the url for the html file and amend it to refer to the stylesheet.
Then your local page should load fine with the local stylesheet.
If you're interested in setting the document root, you might look at getting a web server installed on your machine, or, if you already have one (like Apache or IIS), storing your project-in-development in the web root of that server (htdocs in Apache, not entirely sure in IIS). If you'd rather leave your files where they are, you can set up virtual hosts and even map them to addresses that you can type into your browser (for example, I have a local.mrwarshaw.com address that resolves to the web root of my personal site's development folder).
If you're on Windows and don't want to mess around with setting up a server on your own, you could get a package like XAMPP or WAMPP, though bear in mind that those carry the extra weight of PHP and MySQL with them. Still, if you've got the space, they're a pretty easy drop-in development environment for your machine.
