I'm currently learning about html and css. I've learnt about this code,
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/styles.css">
It was said that external stylesheets can be loaded with 3 ways, and that's one of the ways.
So my question is, does that mean I have to upload my stylesheet to a specific website so I can access the stylesheet my html document?
ps. sorry for bad english
edit: the link comes from w3schools, i'm learning the basics from there. if i shouldn't have done that please tell me so i can remove it.
The following
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/styles.css">
Will download the styles.css file from www.w3schools.com/html/. In that case, you only have to upload your html file. The downside is that if the w3schools.com admin deletes the file you don't have control over his decision , your page will not find it anymore.
The best thing to do is to put a local my_styles.css file in the same folder as your html file and then
<link rel="stylesheet" href="my_styles.css">
This means you will have to upload your html file and my_styles.css. In this case the style will be always available for the webbrowsers to download.
does that mean I have to upload my stylesheet to a specific website so I can access the stylesheet
No. The stylesheet needs a URL so the browser can access it. It doesn't have to be a URL hosted by a particular website.
It doesn't matter where that URL resolves to (unless it is one that isn't accessible to the browser — e.g. if the URL is on a private LAN and the browser isn't on that LAN).
No it doesn't have to be uploaded anywhere. The href attribute simply expresses where the file is. The value of the href can be relative or absolute.
Relative
Relative paths are relative to the folder your HTML file is in. So imagine you have an HTML page webpage.html and a CSS file styles.css in the following folder structure:
My Website
|-- css
| `-- style.css
|-- images
`-- webpage.html
Your link element could use a relative path like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/styles.css">
../ to go up a folder, then css/ to go into the css foler.
Absolute
An absolute path points to the same place no matter where you're pointing from. In the folder structure above, if My Website was the root directory of our website, we could use absolute paths a couple different ways:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/styles.css">
/ to start at the root directory, then css/ to go into the css folder
OR
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.mywebsite.com/css/styles.css">
This would directly load your CSS from the URL like the w3schools example.
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_link.asp
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my_style.css" />
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_style_type.asp
<style type="text/css">
...
</style>

My bootstrap css file is located at
C:\Users\SCEA\Downloads\bootstrap-3.3.7\css
and for linking this to my php file I have given absolute path as:
<link href="C:\Users\SCEA\Downloads\bootstrap-3.3.7\css" rel="stylesheet">
but the effect of css is not visible.Is my css file not getting linked?
You might have a typo before css. The backslash before it might need to be a period.
<link href="C:\Users\SCEA\Downloads\bootstrap-3.3.7.css" rel="stylesheet">
If are running server in your local computer I suggest moving this file within the server document root.
Your comment:
css is a folder inside bootstrap-3.3.7
Probably in the CSS folder are the actual css files.
You need to refer to the actual CSS files and not to the folder itself.
Here is a quickfix using CDN:
Put these links in and it works guaranteed
I'm editing an app on my website but the style sheet is located in this path:
home/aib23/public_html/wp-content/themes/striking_r/assets/affiliate_app_css
what would the stylesheet look like for that path? This is what I thought it was:
<link rel="stylesheet" file://home/aib23/public_html/wp-content/themes/striking_r/assets/app_css" />
but it did not seem to work. Note that this stylesheet is placed within my wordpress theme folder.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance to those that contribute! :)
The link to your stylesheet can be relative, but in this case you can harness WordPress's built in functions to make your life easier, like so:
<?php get_stylesheet_directory() ?>
get_stylesheet_directory() will automatically return the directory where WordPress is looking for the stylesheet. For example, if your stylesheet was named styles.css, you might use something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php get_stylesheet_directory() ?>/styles.css">
You don't need to link the complete path to the file -- WordPress will take care of that for you.
This kind of path is local to the client system. So if I visit a page with this link it will look for your CSS file on my computer, at /home/aib23/public_html/wp-content/themes/striking_r/assets/app_css
Also, you need to use the href attribute in your link element in order for it to work.
I suggest you use a link relative to your web root - like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/wp-content/themes/striking_r/assets/affiliate_app_css/myfile.css" />
Replace myfile.css with the name of your stylesheet.
When linking to your stylesheet, you can either do it relatively or absolutely. For instance, if you're linking to a stylesheet in the same directory as your HTML document, you can simply put
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
If, however, you want to refer to a main stylesheet throughout many HTML documents, you may want to stick with an absolute path. In your case, something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/wp-content/themes/striking_r/assets/app.css" />
Please note: Your stylesheet file name should always end with .css. Additionally, all href paths start after the public_html folder in your specific case.
I am using a Dedicated Server.
In the web-hosting side, I have folders arranged like so.
html
forum
files
images
files
Equinox
index.php
header.php
footer.php
style
style.css
mc-multiplayer
style
style.css
index.php
header.php
footer.php
I am trying to get the index.php of mc-multiplayer to link to the css file in mc-multiplayer, but no matter what it keeps going to the style.css file in the html folder.
At first glance I would suggest using the following code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style/style.css">
Make sure to confirm that everything is cased/spelled correctly and that directories are correct. As Kevin Boucher suggested, it would help to know the link you're currently using.
from a page within the mc-multiplayer subdirectory (as long as a <base> element isn't overriding the directory context)
this might work (no prefix (such as / or ../) before style should maintain the current folder context, then style subdir then the file):
<link href="style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
this should definitely work (/ to start at the root of the site then into mc-multiplayer subdir then style subdir to the file):
<link href="/mc-multiplayer/style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
In Eclipse, I created a Dynamic Web Project and a JSP file under WebContent folder. I also created a CSS file under the WebContent folder. Then I use <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="XXX.css"> in the JSP to link to the CSS file but when I run on web server (Tomcat) the CSS didn't apply. Can someone tell me why?
You must put your web project name before the address path of your css file
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/YourProjectName/XXX.css" type="text/css">
or in more dynamic way:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/XXX.css" />
Have fun :)
You can use: With style.css file in WEB-INF/jsp folder
<style type="text/css">
<%#include file="css/style.css" %>
</style>
NOTE
This however copies the entire source of the CSS file into the HTML
output of the JSP page. In other words, this is a server-side include,
not a client-side resource reference. So you effectively miss the
advantage that the browser can cache static resources and this way you
end up with a bandwidth waste because the very same CSS file is
embedded in every single page. In other words, a bad idea in terms of
performance and efficiency.
as #BalusC described in comment! you want to test your style.css file anyway, this is a solution.
you can use
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/css">
You should restart eclipse so that it maps all css and javascript files again.
I worked for me.
Maybe this question has been asked a lot,
but I still can't understand how to load CSS files when using django...
Please can anyone explain to me step by step how to load it?
Can I load the CSS file without the static folder or link, so I don't need to change the urls.conf but just setting in "setting.py" file?
(Sorry if my English is bad") :(
on local machine: you have to add:
(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/path/to/media'}),
on a server you don't (and more you shouldn't for security reasons) need the previous line.
So finally: here is my architecture:
project/
app1/
__init.py__
views.py
public/
site_media/
js/
example.js
css/
example.css
in my settings.py:
MEDIA_ROOT = '/thecompletepath/public/site_media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/'
and in my templates, i use:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/site_media/css/example.css" media="screen" />
Just add a normal link tag to your template.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://example.com/path/to.file.css">
Unless you have a dynamic CSS file, you would not want to have it related to anything in urls.py. Likewise, if you're not using the media (static) folder, you don't need to change anything in settings.py. Just insert it into your HTML in the template.
If you don't want to use an external CSS file, of course, you can always just put <style> tags into your templates.
