Icons not showing , So I've this problem.
I'm using some weather icons provided by erikflowers on github.
They are working and showing up fine when I've opened my app through the live server extension in Visual Studio Code. However, when I open my index.html manually from the folder, they are showing up as blank squares.
Anyone have any clue why this might be?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Directory:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./weather-icons-wind.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./weather-icons.css">
I did try changing to ./ no help
It says it can't find the files but they are there
Your pathing is wrong. As u wrote by urself in a comment -
"To use the Weather Icons, place the main CSS files in your CSS directory, and the font files in a "font" directory on the same folder level as the CSS director. Once you've done that, all you need to do to reference an icon in your HTML is type ""<i class="wi wi-night-sleet""> "
You dont have a CSS directory.
Also look at your console error.
The route is wrong.. your Project Name is missing.
"../JavaScript/Projects/fonts/weather..", where is your Folder "Weather API"?
I would suggest to create a CSS folder (your styles.css stays in the project root), with your icon stylesheet files in it. That should fix your problems.
How are you accessing those icons? CDN? Or do you have them stored locally in some separate folder? Also, share your index.html and folder structure.
For example, you have them in a folder called icons, say a file called cloud.png. Then there are 2 ways to access them in your HTML file:
Using icons/cloud.png
Using ./icons/cloud.png
Both of these approaches work in Live Server, but sometimes we have to use the 2nd one when opening index.html directly or when hosting on Github Pages.
So try both of them and see which one works for you.

I'm trying to upload one project on github but CSS and img wont read.
I have tried to upload it 2 times, and checked that files names is written with small letters and are the same in the name of the file and the same in the html code but it still wont work.
Site was build using bootstrap, it is first time for me using BS so i'm not sure if it is because of that.
I am attaching link to a site and link to my repositorie on github. are you able to see what problem is?

You are serving your images from a folder called images, but there is not such a folder.
The same with CSS, you are serving your styles.css from a “css” folder that is non-existent in your Github repo.
Either create those folders and add the images and CSS in them, or in every “src=“, remove the folder name.
Your paths are wrong, they all point to images/something.png but the images are in the same root folder as index.html so it should just be
<src img="something.png">
same for the css
I'm on Debian Jessie, 32bit, editing with gEdit and trying to get BootStrap to work without an internet connexion. I went to getbootstrap.com/getting-started, downloaded the files from the left-most button, extracted the various folders (js, css, fonts) into a folder named bootstrap.
I also created custom.css in the css folder and threw in a line
#qlksjhdf { color:#FF0000;}
Within this folder, I created an HTML file. Then I copied some code from a working example. When I use the CDN links, all works fine, as expected, but when I replace the CDN with local linking such as "css/bootstrap.css", the styling disappears, although the H1 styling in "css/custom.css" works.
Do I need to "install" something or wouldn't just downloading and linking the files suffice ? And yes, I've also downloaded jQuery and linked it locally...
Are you sure that you're using the right file path for the Bootstrap resources. If you put everything in a folder called bootstrap, you should be able to link the css file like this from your index.html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css">
Double check the path you are using to reference the bootstrap files. That is most likely the issue. If everything looks fine, can you add some code to the example or create a JS fiddle with the code you are working with?
So i was doing some basic formating to my html page using CSS, and when i ran it on netbeans nothing happened. I double checked the <link> on my html page and it was correct.
So kind of confused now I went to the folder where netbeans project is saved and copied the files to a new folder on the desktop. I made the same edits on my css file using notepad++, and then ran my index.html file (double clicked and it opened with browser) and viola, changes i made appeared. Has anyone else experienced this encounter? Why will it not work on netbeans? Am i missing a plugin or something?
The CSS file first need to be listed on the directory tree on the left side of Netbeans. If its not there, the program won't run the css file that you're trying to include in the html.
It'll also help if you put the
your_css.CSS
In a sub folder... e.g. Folder Name: CSS
and then have your CSS file in there.
Then you should have this to link the css to the HTML document
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="directory/css.css">
My pages in pretty basic html hold styling when kept in the root folder. Created a new folder for a group, but when I move pages to that folder they seem to lose connection to the css file.
Thought the problem might be the link since it now had to move up one folder. So I changed this:
link href="assets/css/readable/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"
To this:
link href="http://www.example.com/assets/css/readable/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"
but that changed nothing. Still page works fine in root folder, but not in /new folder.
Thank you for pointing out the basic premise I could be missing.
link href="/assets/css/readable/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"
Add a / at the beginning of the path to refer to the Document Root instead of using a relative path.
my problem i think is simply to do with my .css paths.
for example my file structure is as so:
(root folder) mysite:
-index.htm
-styles.css
within my index.htm code, i link to my style sheets with the following code:
/styles.css
Now, changing the pathway is not a solution, i need to keep it as above with the "/" to point it to the root first. As the webstie works perfectly online this way.
Is there anyway i can get the site to display my styles locally, some kind of setting?
I have messed for hours reading through the forums here, and playing with setting the root.
i just dont get why once i set the correct root it messes up the path to the style sheets. I am starting to think it is impossible to link a .css file with "/" in Aptana.
any help would be appreciated.
If you remove the / from "/styles.css" then index.html will load it correctly both locally and on your website.
You also might want to look into the html base tag:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_base.asp
This would allow your pages to always point to the css file that is live on the website.
You say that "changing the pathway is not a solution", please explain? A live example would be good too.
