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 have trouble to make my Css and Javascript working. Here is a capture of my current work. I have created a folder with my different html pages and same for Css and js (i only have one css for everything and several js).
It worked when all my htmls, Css and Js are into the main folder but when it comes to organize into severel foldes, nothing is working except my Htmls.
enter image description here
Thank you very much.
Try this out
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
Try this for the CSS
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css">
All your files are in different directories and if you have to link your HTMLs with the CSS and JS files, you have to get out of the HTMLs directory to the parent directory. And, then specify the path to the CSS, JS, and Images.
Use this to reach the parent directory of the current directory.
../
I see you are using Visual Studio Code, there is a trick for call CSS and Javascript
#Styles.Render("~/css/style.css")
#Styles.Render("~/css/yourstyle.css")
and is a good practice to separate css from javascript folder
#Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/yourscript.js")
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>

I'm trying to use the angular2-busy library in an angular project created with the CLI, but am having an issue importing the stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/angular2-busy/build/style/busy.css">
The browser is telling me that it cannot find the file, even with the correct path. I also checked that the file exists, and it does. When I take out the rel="stylesheet" I don't get the error, but then the animations don't work.
Here is the package I am trying to use, if anyone is curious:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2-busy
Angular CLI have it's own way to initialize your global css/js.
They are located in .angular-cli.json configuration
Locate "styles": and add your css there
Example :
"styles": [
"../node_modules/angular2-busy/build/style/busy.css",
"styles.css"
],
Hope that helps.
Basically there are three different ways to do that :-
By adding it to the "styles" array in angular-cli.json file as is shown by #penleychan in his answer.
"styles": [
"../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
"styles.css"
]
You can directly import the css file into styles.css file (or any other css file) that is included in "styles" array in angular-cli.json file by adding the #import statement at the top of that file.
#import "~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
Include the css file in index.html page by adding a link element.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
/>

How to Use Angular with Linked Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Always use LINKED CSSS rather than the compiled and embedded JavaScript memory version of CSS Google Angular uses. Why? Linked <link> external CSS is superior in every way to embedded CSS, mainly because linked CSS is cached across thousands of page views, visits, and users online, saving you huge bandwidth values with increased CSS rendering speed in the browser, while implementing simpler, faster CSS management, overall.
HOW TO FIX ANGULAR FOR LINKED CSS
In angular.json delete all the references to CSS files under "styles". It should look like this now:
"styles": [],
Move your CSS files to the"src" folder inside your project, then add links <link> to your external CSS files inside index.html. Add in your link paths to your CSS file starting at the "src" folder and including the "styles" folder or any folder system you desire (see below). You can store your css wherever you want in your project now as long as those folders of files are under your "src" root folder. My physical CSS files in my project for the path below now sit under "src/styles". So the link path should just be my "styles" folder plus the file name:
<link href="styles/mystyles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Any CSS files for bootstrap, font-awesome, etc. that you want in your project have to be manually copied from your "node_modules" folder in your project into a folder under your "src" folder, just like in the location used for the CSS file above in #2. Or, you can reference them from some fully qualified url online. If you want to create a link to them as above in "index.html", or import them into the html file directly (example below), that will also work. If you were importing them before from the "node_modules" folder that will not work as the Angular CLI or webpack resolved those paths by compiling your CSS imports into JavaScript. After you move those CSS files and link or import them from the src folder, they will not be compiled into Angular JavaScript now. When using #import, be sure to drop your bootstrap and font-awesome CSS files in the same "src/styles" folder as your main style sheet and import them into that stylesheet like this:
<style type="text/css">
#import "bootstrap.min.css";
#import "font-awesome.min.css";
</style>
In the same angular.json file above, under the "assets" JSON setting, add a reference to the location of your CSS files in #2 and #3 so the builder can copy them into your dist folder. Any CSS files linked or imported from that folder will get moved by the "dist" folder system when Angular is compiled. Note the new styles path at the bottom. If you have CSS in other folders you can add them here as well. This tells the builder to create the CSS directories in the "dist" folder Angular uses and copy all the CSS files inside them, so when you build for production your index.html links point to the right CSS files on the server:
"assets": [
"src/favicon.ico",
"src/assets",
"src/api",
"src/styles"
],
You now have a powerful set of link elements to all your CSS in the head of your index.html file and can edit them in the Angular project like you normally do, knowing they will work in both the Angular development test server and in your dist production copy. Your website will also benefit from browser caching of CSS one time in memory and permanent file caches.
It took me a day to dig through documentation and testing to figure out what should have been a natural part of any simple website API with linked CSS. I'm sorry Google Angular made this so convoluted. But this change works great!
This simply removes your CSS from the compile and build angular system that pushes all your CSS into a JavaScript file, which simply embedded your CSS into an inline style sheet block in the memory of your browser and head of your HTML page. Using your own linked CSS html tags is far superior and allows better caching and control of CSS cascade rules.
Good Luck!
Try
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/angular2-busy/build/style/busy.css" >
You are missing the self closing / at the end of your code. It's possible the browser is not fixing this for you.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/angular2-busy/build/style/busy.css" />
Also removing rel="stylesheet" would definitely not fix the problem since the browser needs to know exactly what kind reference you are referring to.
If fixing the closing tag does not work then your path is wrong. You can also try adding a ../ to the beginning of your path. This will make it relative to the folder the site is in.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/angular2-busy/build/style/busy.css" />
Where should I put my css file if I have only one file (style.css) ?
I use sass for my project and I convert all my sass files to only one css file.
But I don't know where I have to put this file.. because normally I would create a static folder for each app but I think that makes no sense if I have only one file...
You just need to put the CSS file somewhere and tell HTML were to find using the link tag.
For example, if the file is in the folder "style" the tag will be.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/file.css" />
Usually the main css style fail was in the root folder or in a style folder.
I downloaded the minified version of bootstrap and put it in the root directory of my project. Then in a HTML file in /views/ I added:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/bootstrap.min.css">
However, the page continued to look the same because Bootstrap styles weren't added. I know I can use a CDN, I did and it worked, but for now I want to try including it locally. I tried to similarly include Semantic-UI but it didn't work too. What am I doing wrong?
I think I figured it out. Assuming that you have your stylesheet in /public then you have to add this line to your application file (usually app.js):
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
From now on you can link to your stylesheets from anywhere in the project using this code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/bootstrap.min.css">
Note that we no longer have to specify the full path, which is "/public/bootstrap.min.css" - we omit the "/public" (in fact href="/public/bootstrap.min.css" would be an error).
If anybody reading this can explain why the first line is necessary please comment below. I believe I understand what it does but why the Express creators insisted on doing it that way i.e. why can't I <link> to my local files normally is what I don't get.
