I have placed my CSS and Images folders and index.html on GitHub. Only the html displays without the CSS formatting. I have cleared my cache and cookies. I'm using Chrome. I can't seem to get the CSS formatting to work.
Can anyone help?
uploaded web files to Github: https://github.com/Dennybribri/cv
I have attached a picture of how the top part of the website should look like. Here is a link to the site from Github that just displays the html: https://dennybribri.github.io/cv/
Rename your folder from CSS to css.
The filesystem used on the servers of Github pages sites is case sensitive.
You'll need to import your css from the CSS folder:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/styles.css">
Also because of the same problem your images will not show up. You will need to specify the path to Images/someimage.jpg instead of images/someimage.jpg
Thank you Mahmoud and Merlin. I changed the folder names to lower case and forever have this issue stuck in my brain. It works great!
I programmed a page (read index.php) including front end and back end operations,and in between i included a link -<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">, but there is no effect on the front end application whether I put this css file in the same directory of index.php or delete it. But when I remove the link from the programming page then the front end page is affected. So, how do I conclude this situation? Please anybody help me. I don't understand how the css file works when it is not in the directory where programming page lies.
Based on the information given it sounds like the file is being included from a cache.
Deleting the file on the server wouldn't affect the page render since there is a locally cached version of the file but deleting the link would prevent the browser from loading the cached version.
Sometimes when working on your localhost you have to put the entire path of the CSS file, not just it's normal location as you do when on a live website. Copy your entire path in the href on the link tag and see if it works.
Normally, if the file is in the same place as your index, you put the href the same way it is written in your example above. If your CSS file is in another folder, you would put ../style.css instead. Writing like that, will move up one folder.
I've recently started learning to code HTML and CSS by hand for the first time since the mid 90s (last time I tried to build a site, Netscape Communicator Gold 3.0 was out--so bear with me here).
I cannot get my CSS to link up with my HTML. I am using HTML5 conventions and following the code examples in the popular book "Learning Web Design," 4th edition, by Jennifer Robbins. Many of the code examples I see use conventions that are no longer required in HTML 5.0, so my code may be a bit sparse.
I have tried to directly embed the styles in the HTML and they work. However, they do not work when in a CSS sheet. I have tried to load the page in both IE11 and the newest version of Chrome and the page displays in white with default browser settings. My HTML file and my CSS file are in the same directory: c:/RogersReviews. There is an images folder in the directory, c:/RogersReviews/Images. I have linked to an image file in that folder and my code works.
However, I cannot change the background color of my page using a linked CSS style sheet. I have tried to make it red to prove that the link is working. Below is my CSS code followed by my HTML code.
I have used Eric Meyer's browser reset code in the CSS to clear out any browser settings that might be messing things up. I have omitted it for your convenience.
It is probably something minor that I have missed. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: The page seems to be linking just fine when I post it here, but not when I run it from my hard drive by opening the HTML file. I would like to be able to see the page as it would look online, but from my hard drive.

I inserted your code, verbatim, into a JSFiddle, and the background is red, as you wanted.
The code is not the issue, then. Instead, its a problem of the stylesheet loading properly. Try some or all of the following:
Check your stylesheet name, and that it is the same in the directory as it is in your HTML code; make sure stylesheet.css exists properly.
Double-check that the file exists in the right place, which is in the same directory as your index that you are opening.
Make sure the stylesheet is loading. In Chrome, if you right-click -> inspect element and go to the sources tab, you can see all loaded resources, including your CSS. If it's not loading here, it could be that it tries to load from your cache. You can force Chrome to load sites without the cache by opening the inspector again, clicking on the gear menu, and checking "Disable cache (while DevTools is open)', and reloading your site.
Check your local apache/webhost server to make sure that it doesn't have any settings blocking the loading of certain files or types of files. This is assuming you are running one and not just opening the file in Chrome/IE. If that is the case, you should have no problems with the file loading.
Make sure you saved the file. It's silly, but I can personally vouch for the time when I couldn't make my site update, and I forgot to save/update the file I was viewing.
Hello, perhaps it helps to someone:
css files have to be transmitted stating "text/css" as content type (while your html page content is usually "text/html").
It is important to state the right value for transmission, because browsers check it.I had this problem with Delphi, trying to state "DOCTYPE HTML" in a WebBroker application to use HTML5, and the problem has been solved setting it in the variable reponse.contenttype. If you use a web server, I suppose you have to put the file in the right folder for example, or set this attibute in the right place to instruct your server to send the right contenttype.Have a nice day!
Instead of href="stylesheet.css", try href="/stylesheet.css".
I had the same issue and this worked for me.
Simple solution: no changes to you html code.
Procedure:
1) Log into Ubuntu as a root user
2) Go the /var/www directory and right click on the www folder, then click Properties, change the following permission as follow:
view content: anyone
change content: anyone
access content: anyone
3) Restart apache2 server type service apache2 restart
4) Finally, test the webpage
Hope this helps
Just ran into same issue. It was browser cache. Ctrl-F5 helped to fix it.
I assume that you have created your file in NOTEPAD & not used any editor. While saving the css file, the file type has remained as .txt which leads to saving of the file as Text Document type.
Open a new notepad file, copy & paste your CSS code. Save the file in Notepad under "Save As" menu, enter your css file name with.css extension & select "Save as type" as "All Files" documents. After saving, in the explorer the file type should be displayed as Cascading Style Sheet Document.
Hope it solves your problem.
I ran into a similar issue where the css file changes are not reflected in the webpage styling.
Here where the concept of hard-reload helped me. Hard reload can be done by
shift+ctrl+R
This happens when the browser serves a cached CSS file from that of yours.
To invalidate the cache and serve your latest CSS file, you can perform a hard reload on the browser.

I used the following code to embed and display a pdf document in a .asp webpage not in asp.net,the code displays the frame but not the pdf, can someone tell me where i was wrong.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe height="1400" width="1000" src="C:/proof.pdf">If you see this text, your browser cannot display this document. Click this link to view it separately.</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Where you are storing that file is a big problem and something you should likely fix. What you mainly want to fix is this section
src="C:/proof.pdf"
I honestly do not care if your site does give access to the root of your C: drive it is a terrible practice to ever let that happen. Your site should not have access to any files outside your inetpub folder. What you should do immediately is move this file to a resource folder within your website. Assuming you have not changed any of the default settings this pdf would now be stored in
C:/wwwroot/inetpub/resources/proof.pdf
Once you do this though you should also change the src value to a relative path. If you followed my previous advice that path should look like this
src="../resources/proof.pdf"
That should both work fine and be much safer for your hosting computer.
I'm mostly certain that I set up my HTML script correctly, and made sure that the needed CSS file would be hosted in a shared folder on Google Drive, correctly cited, etc.
However, when I copy my HTML code into the box, and save it all, the editor always throes this error: 1+12 - 125: failed to load external url navigator.css
While I would think that linking the CSS file to the HTML code regularly, as I posted below, I only see so many issues coming up with CSS linking, and even more worrying, is that the Google support documentation (here) says that an HTML box can't 'refer' to external code, including what I believe may be such a CSS file.
<link href="http://[mixed aplhanumeric subdomain].googledrive.com/host/[shared folder's 'mixed' address]/navigator.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Given that, would anyone know a simple workaround to linking the HTML to the CSS code in the Google sites HTML box?
The documentation shows an example with the CSS in <script> tags. I don't perceive any indication that including CSS from an external file is allowed. The documentation explicitly states that <link> tags are not allowed. The reason why Google Sites can't load CSS in a linked file, is because link tags are not allowed. You're only choice is to include the CSS in <style> tags.
There is an alternative though. You can create an Apps Script HTML Service application with separate HTML and CSS files, and then put the Apps Script application into your Google Site.
Apps Script HTML Service
If you want to use Css on Google SItes , you can use directly. not to use link.
