I am having an issue in CSS where I am not able to re-collapse my mobile menu after it's initially been opened. I can't seem to track the issue down.
You can inspect the CSS and function here: http://www.whatshoulditraintoday.com/
Could someone please provide a valid explaination of what's going on here so that I may learn and fix this?
Thank you
The reason the navigation bar doesn't re-collapse is because you load Bootstrap's files two times in your page. One regular and one minified version.
<!-- In head -->
<link href="/Content/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- In body -->
<script src="/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/bootstrap.js"></script>
Remove one version and it will re-collapse as expected.

The site look perfect when viewed from desktop But when I tried to access in mobile , it doesn't show navbar and background image and only load html content and columns . Any suggestion how to fix it.
It will be hard to find a perfect answer without any code or details but one of the things you can do is to add Bootstrap to the website
So what is Bootstrap ?
Bootstrap is an open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS but its biggest advantadge is that it comes with responsive elements so you don't have to worry about how it will look on other devices since the Bootsrap elements are already responsive.
One of the easiest way to do it is to add the following code in your code in your "head" section :
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
Now all you need to do is to put your elements (for example your navbar) into Bootstrap classes (and if needed personalize them) so that it comes out properly on all devices
As for how to actually use the bootstrap elements and personalize them here is some documentation :
https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap4/default.asp
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/introduction/
I hope this help and if not then feel free to give more details about your issue so that I can try to give you a better answer :)
My bootstrap in ASP.NET MVC is up-to-date (v4.1.3). When I use dropdown components, it does not work properly!
Then I use: and comment out #Style.Render(~/Content/css)
It goes like this:
How could I fix this? (I have checked carefully the version of bootstrap in Content folder. It have no problems. As the same as the latest one I download from getbootstrap.com
today when I open my project, it's css style went wrong. Navbar is not show the style. Then I detected that bootstrap 4.1.3 (lastest version) is not supported with the auto-created layout of ASP.NET MVC (it is now using 3.3.7 as I remember). I think that I should edit the class style. But last, thanks for your answers.
It looks like your bootstrap or jQuery reference is not being read. Check your raw html output (right click on webpage and view page as source. Note Bootstrap requires jQuery.
Here is an example of a jQuery and bootstrap order loading on html page.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

I have checked external css file doesn't work in Flask framework etc. other SO questions and my original Udemy source tutorial, but I still can't seem to get my Flask Boostrap app. to pick up my custom CSS file.
From base.jinja2 HTML template file:
{% include 'html_dependencies.jinja2' %}
</head>
<body>
Entire CSS test file in Source/static/css/style.css:
body {
background-color: yellow;
}
(This is test file, body does not change to yellow currently, therefore my CSS appears not to be loading.. I don't really want a yellow background if any style police reading!)
Complete HTML Dependencies file below code, which is loading the main bootstrap files fine, my custom CSS is last file, with url_for and static format syntax as I understand should be correct. Maybe I got the order wrong or some interference from one of Bootstrap files here? Also, I have problem with Bootstrap collapsed nav menu not functioning when window minimised, not sure if this is same cause, the standard lines in box icon shows for navigation when window is below cutoff width, but nothing happens when I click on it.:

I'm quite a Bootstrap newbie, any suggestions grateful.
I found it is the browser caching that is the problem. On the server this code works fine for me. In both IE and Chrome on my local computer, if I change the custom CSS code, it doesn't pick it up, unless I open code inspector in the browser, click on "Disable cache" option in the code inspector, and keeping code inspector window still open, then reload the localhost website. The below SO question finally sorted me out, and now I am downloading the Chrome extension Cache Killer as per second answer here, otherwise extremely irritating to have to open window and disable cache to check every change in custom CSS! Disabling Chrome cache for website development
I did also fix other mentioned error of collapsed menu issue was due to Bootstrap jQuery import line being below the Bootstrap min.js file. Opening the code inspection in browser showed this error, so moved jQuery line above js line and it loads properly.
Thanks again #senaps pointing me in right direction, confirming to me that posted code itself seems right.
I'm not seeing this issue in any other browser that I've tested - IE, Chrome, Opera - but whenever I load a page from the server, I'm seeing a flash of unstyled content before the CSS is applied.
This is even happening on subsequent page loads where everything should be cached - every time the page loads I see the unstyled content for a split-second, then everything settles in.
It's also worth noting (perhaps?) that the page is using #font-face to pull some Google fonts. They are stored in a separate stylesheet being pulled after the main responsive stylesheets and media queries.
I've tried a few different things, to no effect:
Rearranging order of CSS stylesheet links
Removing link to stylesheets with #font-face
Disabling Firebug? (Read on here somewhere...)
One other thing that may be worth mentioning is that I used quite a lot of Element Type CSS selectors in the page's CSS. Is it possible that this is slowing down the rendering process?
This seems unlikely as there is no problem immediately re-rendering the page upon changing the dimensions of the window - the responsive stuff renders fine immediately.
So this leads me to believe that there is some issue with how the CSS is being loaded.
Here is my HEAD code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<!--<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />-->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no; target-densityDpi=device-dpi" />

WTF is going wrong with Firefox? It's driving me nuts!
If you add a dummy <script> tag right after <body>, Firefox will show the page after all the css from <head> is loaded:
<body>
<script>0</script>
<!-- rest of the code -->
</body>
There is an official bugreport about this FOUC (Flash Of Unstyled Content) on the Firefox site: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404468
I had the same problem with Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content. showing in the console, and a visible flash of unstyled content upon page refresh, withouth (F5) or with clearing the cache (Ctrl + F5). Having the developer tools open does not made a difference either.
What helped me was declaring a variable in a script just before the </head> tag ended, so basically after all the <link> tags.
It's important to note, that an empty script (or with just a comment) or any random javaScript would not help, but declaring a variable worked.
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/other.css" />
<script>
/*to prevent Firefox FOUC, this must be here*/
let FF_FOUC_FIX;
</script>
</head>
There was no need to rearrange links or not use imports within css or js files.
Please note that the issue will no longer be visible (FOUC is visibly gone), but the console might still show the same warning.
I was experiencing this error. A colleague has said that it's caused by the attribute, autofocus being added to a form field.
By removing this attribute and using JavaScript to set the focus the brief flash of unstyled content stops happening.
For what it's worth, I had this same problem and found that it was being caused by having poorly formatted <html>...</html> tags.
To be precise, in my code I accidentally closed the HTML tag too early, like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"></html>
<head>
<title>My title</title>
The code provided by the original poster is missing the opening <html> so I suspect that's probably what is happening there.
Filament Group share they way they load their fonts in detail,
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/font-loading.html
which is a nice modern approach to #font-face loading
Smashing magazine also review there website performance and came up with a different solution that stores the caches a base64 copy of the font in local storage. This solution may require a different licence for you font.
A gist can be found at:

Additional recommendation
The head of your document contains far to many individual stylesheets, all these css files should be combined into a single file, minified and gziped. You may have a second link for your fonts placed before you main stylesheet.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/fonts.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/main.css" type="text/css" />
I've had the same issue. In my case removing #import rule in the CSS file and linking all the CSS files in the HTML resolved it.
In my case the reason of FOUC in FF was the presence of iframe on page.
If I removing iframe from markup then FOUC disappears.
But I need iframe for my own hacking reasons so I changed this
<iframe name="hidden-iframe" style="display: none;position:absolute;"></iframe>
into this
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', ()=>{
let nBody = document.querySelector('body')
let nIframe = document.createElement('iframe');
nIframe.setAttribute('name', "hidden-iframe");
nIframe.style.display = 'none';
nIframe.style.position = 'absolute';
nBody.appendChild(nIframe);
});
</script>
I've added this inline JS right in template just for readability: in my case this code runs once per page.
I know that it's dirty hack, so you can add this code in separated JS-file.
The problem was in Firefox Quantum v65.
I had the same problem (but also in chrome). Even if many of the existing answers provide clues to the reason for FOUC I wanted to present my problem and its solution.
As I said, I had FOUC in a fairly large project and already had the suspicion of a racecondition in some form.
In the project SASS is used and via a "bootstrap" file for the css a fontawesome free package was added via import.
#import "#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css";
This import has increased the total size of the css file by a lot, which caused the file to take a long time to load, and the browser went and already loaded the following javascript.
The JS that was then executed forced the rendering of its content and thus created the FOUC.
So the solution in my case was to remove the big fontawesome package and insert the icons I used from it (~10) via an Icomoon custom font. Not only did this solve the FOUC but it also had the nice side effect that the delivered CSS files are much smaller.
Suppose if I have a website http://somethingsomething.com
And I have 3 css file
common.css
homepage.css
inner-pages.css
homepage.css is required for homepage and common.css is for whole site but inner-pages.css is for other pages only and it's big file. Is it possible to load inner-pages.css after homepage data download. In the same way like we use async attribute for script tag. As far as I know async attribute is only for JS not CSS
my one friend suggested to use requirejs for this http://requirejs.org/docs/faq-advanced.html#css but I don't want to use javascript to load css and even I would think upon JS way i would not use require.js just for this. So if it is not possible with CSS only. what would be the simple JS way to do this?
Async CSS with media="bogus" and a <link> at the foot
Say we've got our HTML structured like this:
<head>
<!-- unimportant nonsense -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="bogus">
</head>
<body>
<!-- other unimportant nonsense, such as content -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</body>
More at http://codepen.io/Tigt/post/async-css-without-javascript
You can place an iframe in your page pointing to some dummy page that serves the CSS, that should serve the CSS file async.
<iframe src="loadcss.html"></iframe>
Do note it seems pretty trivial, this causes a minimum of 2 css file transfers per page and 3 css file transfers per child page (if it isn't cached). If you were to minify the css you would only have 1 transfer regardless.
try
$.ajax({
url:'/css.css',
type:'get',
success:function(css){
$('html').append('<style>'+css+'</style>');
}
});
or
function getCss(url){
$('<link>',{rel:'stylesheet',type:'text/css','href':url}).appendTo('head');
}
getCss('/css.css');
ok sorry I didn't see you don't want to use javascript
how about using css #import:
<style>
#import url('/style1.css');
#import url('/style2.css');
</style>
Include your CSS in the <body> instead of <head> ... "it seems this trick causes Chrome & Firefox to start the body earlier, and they simply don't block for body stylesheets." and add a condition for IE:
head
<head>
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> <!-- blocking, but what else can ya do? -->
<![endif]-->
</head>
body
<body>
<!--[if !IE]> -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" lazyload>
<!-- <![endif]-->
</body>

As suggested Require is not necessary for loading CSS assets. If you want to get your larger payloads asynchronously without relying on JavaScript you should be looking at leveraging HTTP/2 Server Push to deliver your non-critical style assets. And here's a performance technique you may find useful for delivering critical CSS payloads for browsers which works well even today.
Finally, if you are optimizing your pages for performance and don't want to pull in heavy or complicated tools like Require I've an alternative minimal asset loader you may use if you like.
