CSS not working locally in my computer - css

I'm using Bootstrap to develop a website and recently I asked here a question because some custom simple lines in CSS weren't working. I discovered that using development sites such as jsfiddle or codepen, the code works but I can't still get it working in my computer.
Do I need to install do something or install something? I thought it could be an issue of not using a web server, but I've just installed XAMPP and nothing...
In the end, I'm using XAMPP, with proper path xampp_path/etsit/index.html --> localhost/etsit/index.html. This doesn't work, there's no error in the cosole. When I just click in index.html to open it with the browser, it doesn't work either.
For bootstrap, I just add these links to the body (JUST FOR YOU TO KNOW I HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED BOOTSTRAP BUT I'M USING CDN):
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- jQuery library -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Latest compiled JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
UPDATE
Sample in codepen and jsfiddle that work.
The original (it's the same code) you can find it in these other post I made.
UPDATE 2
Please, read the post entirely before editing my question and marking it as duplicate, not noticing that same question is mine and has been referenced twice in the post....

Based on your answers in the comments section, it seems as though you are not loading your CSS file. You've stated that you do indeed have a link to it in your in your code. So either a) that link is now gone (in which case you would not see it at all in your dev tools' network tab); or b) the link is incorrect (in which case you would be getting something like a 404 error in your network tab). Make sure the path to your CSS file is indeed correct and that it exists at the location that you are defining.

Bootstrap css is not working on my Prestashop page

I'm working on a website made with Prestashop, version 1.7.5.2. I noticed Bootstrap classes (row and col) weren't working in my code. I tried to link Bootstrap manually in head.tpl file, but it didn't work. In a Prestashop forum, someone told me that Prestashop is already based in Bootstrap. So why is it like I'm not using row and col classes in my code? I'm not using any Prestashop editors, just copying and pasting my html code in the Source code section of the page which I'm editing. I also noticed that if I opened the Page Inspector and linked Bootstrap there with a CDN, it worked.
I show you what I already tried to link Bootstrap in head.tpl:
I tried this after uploading bootstrap.css and bootstrap.min.css to the server. The "include file" line already came in the head.tpl code. I also tried this using a CDN:
{block name='stylesheets'}
{include file="_partials/stylesheets.tpl" stylesheets=$stylesheets}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mi-dominio.com/themes/modez/assets/css/bootstrap.css">
{/block}
I also tried pasting the link tag in the stylesheets.tpl file.
2.
{block name='stylesheets'}
{include file="_partials/stylesheets.tpl" stylesheets=$stylesheets}
{include file="_partials/bootstrap.css" stylesheets=$stylesheets}
{/block}
3.
{block name='stylesheets'}
{include file="_partials/stylesheets.tpl" stylesheets=$stylesheets}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$base_dir}bootstrap.css">
{/block}
This is the first time I'm using Prestashop, I've looked everywhere for an answer, I don't know what else to try. This is for a job project and I'm desperate. If you could help me, I would thank you eternally.

jQuery validation CSS to change font & text box colors stopped working

There may be a better forum for this, but here's my problem:
I'm using several different CDN sites for CSS, jQuery, jQuery Mobile, jQuery.validate, etc. Sometime in the very recent past (last few days) the CSS that jQuery validate uses stopped highlighting the affected text boxes in red, and changing the messages to a red font.
I initially thought it was the addition of blockUI.js & css, but then I noticed that all of my fiddles I created to make the bits & pieces of this project had been affected as well, and none of them had ever had blockUI added to them, so that wasn't it.
Then I thought maybe something had changed in Chrome, so I tried in Firefox, same thing. I have a remote server where I upload test code, and it was still working normally, until I reloaded the page, then the same thing. That tells me that the change occurred in one of the CDN based files.
My question is, since I don't have downloaded versions of each of the .js & .css files, how can I determine what the change was? Is it possible to download the previous version (the version numbers in my references hasn't changed, so there's no way to tell from them.
I know I can simply go create my own .css for the highlighting & font issues, but it seems like whoever hosts these various CDN's shouldn't change them underneath you? FWIW, my primary suspect is: http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/css/screen.css, especially since it hasn't been versioned. I haven't had a chance to try to verify this yet.
For reference I'm using this array of CDN locations for my current project:
<link href="http://malsup.com/jquery/block/block.css?v3" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/css/screen.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-2.1.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.12.0/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.12.0/additional-methods.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://malsup.github.io/jquery.blockUI.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="pcbclient.js"></script>
There is no CSS file as part of jQuery Validate. This plugin simply toggles two class names and those have always been .valid and .error.
The root of your problem is right here...
<link href="http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/css/screen.css" rel="stylesheet">
That's not a CDN link, nor is that CSS file part of the plugin. It's the CSS file used solely for the online demo page.
Everything broke for you because that URL no longer points to a CSS file. However, you should not have been hot-linking to another website's CSS file in the first place. (If it's not a URL from a CDN, it could be considered as stealing the other website's bandwidth.)
If you liked how that online demo page looked, you could have easily examined and copied its CSS properties into your own CSS file, provided that the copyright license allows it.
You might want to carefully review the rest of your file includes' URL's to make sure those are all part of an official CDN and not just hosted on these developers' websites.
It appears I was correct in surmising that the problem laid with the CSS at: http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/css/screen.css.
I still don't know what changed, but I downloaded the source from: http://jqueryvalidation.org/ (as I should have after deciding to use it), added it to my ASP.NET project and the problem has been resolved.

Meteor: localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_= is blank

I'm trying to make my meteor app visible to crawlers.
I've added the Spiderable package and installed Phantom.js.
When I to go localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_=, it's blank.
When I view the source, it's almost empty, and it ends right before the <script> tag that loads the Google Maps API:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/eecc60f7c55db2915697d4beb05274f355ad19e4.css">
<title></title>
<!-- Google Maps -->
</head></html>
I haven't encountered any issues with this before, but it got me thinking that maybe I shouldn't be including custom <scrpit> (or <link>) tags in the app's <head>. If this is true - what is the correct way to load external assets? If it's not related to the issue, I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
In relation to your first question, I am not 100% sure about this being the cause of your problem, but to answer the second, you shouldn't be including scripts/stylesheets in the head of your Meteor application.
Meteor combines all of the client-side js, css, and html for your app, and sends it all together to the client. This means you can just include your stylesheet and scripts in your app's client folder. I would try putting your stylesheets/scripts in the correct place and removing the links in your head and see if that solves your issue.
You can find more detailed descriptions of meteor here.

asp.net mvc 4 bundles and explicit file includes

I am very confused, I just started to work on the CSS for my ASP.NET MVC4 website and I don't fully understand what is happening.
Currently my mobile layout works but any changes to it causes one strange effect after another. (e.g. the forms not being displayed to the ajax-loader.gif constantly being displayed.)
I have the following in .Layout.Mobile.cshtml
#Styles.Render("~/Content/Mobile/css", "~/Content/jquerymobile/css")
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/Mobile/css/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/Mobile/css/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/Mobile/css/jquery.mobile.theme-1.2.0.css" />
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery", "~/bundles/jquerymobile")
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/latest/jquery.mobile.min.js"></script>
I have modified the BundleMobileConfig.cs in App_start as follows:
// bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Mobile/css")
// .Include("~/Content/Site.Mobile.css"));
//kludge is the above wrong...and the following needed??
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Mobile/css")
.Include("~/Content/Site.Mobile.css",
"~/Content/Mobile/css/"));
I don't understand why this is NOT the default for this bundle?
Here are my questions / problems:
If you will note the stylesheets, I should not need to include the three explicit links, they should come from the bundles. But if delete any of them the site breaks.
Why won't the modified ~/Content/Mobile/css bundle pull up these css files?
For the script files I have looked at the code.jquery.com and I don't understand why I need these. My local code is the latest (i.e. jquery-1.9.1.js and jquery.mobile-1.2.0.js
I would expect that the version 1.9.1 shoud be able to replace the 1.7.1 without
problems, but it doesn't
The jquery.mobile.min.js should only be switching between a release and debug
vesion, which should not cause a problem, but it does.
I have used firebug to view what files are being loaded and I see that when I use just
the Render of the bundles without the explicit includes I don't get the files included, why not? I have read about bundles and it seems like I should just get the bundled files.
Can any one shed some light on what is happening and point me to a tutorial so I can learn
how to use how to debug CSS and bundles. I have read several and I find firebug very
useful, but I have no idea where to look next.
Try replacing your bundle code with this.
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Mobile/css")
.Include("~/Content/Site.Mobile.css",
"~/Content/Mobile/jquery.mobile*"));
This should load your files without explicitly doing so.
Your right this did work! Thanks....
The strange thing is that the following did not work:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Mobile/css")
.Include("~/Content/Site.Mobile.css",
"~/Content/Mobile/css/jquery.mobile-{version}.js",
"~/Content/Mobile/css/jquery.mobile.theme-{version}.js",
"~/Content/Mobile/css/jquery.mobile.structure-{version}.js",
"~/Content/Mobile/css/"));
I understand why your example works...but don't understand why mine doesn't ... unless the version tag does not work like I expect it to....
Also I found out the jquery 1.9.1 is much different from 1.7.1 for this I had to do the following:
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquerymobile")
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.js"></script>
this works....using your example I will figure out a wild card pattern to include this as well.

Ext is not defined

I'm trying to implement a TinyMCE plugin with ExtJs, with a demo as example, found here: link.
This fails because I receive an "Ext is not defined" error in Firebug. I basically copied the example, I only used a newer version of Ext. First of all the css and scripts are included:
<link href="scripts/extjs/resources/css/ext-all.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="scripts/extjs/ext-all.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/miframe/miframe-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/ux/Ext.ux.TinyMCE.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Firebug does not complain, all the scripts are found on the specified paths and are included.
Next I call the Ext function in the head of my aspx document,
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log("Ready...");
Ext.onReady(function() {
console.log("set...");
Ext.get("cmdOpen").on("click", function() {
console.log("GO");
var dlg = new Ext.Window({
//etc
</script>
The console.log("Ready...") shows up in the console, then the code breaks. There are four references to "Ext is not defined", in ext-all.js(), miframe-min.js(), Ext.ux.TinyMCE.js() and in the code in the .aspx file. (Default.aspx)
I did not alter any aspect of the included files, they are official releases.
Am I perhaps missing a statement somewhere? Or do I have to include other things still? I have honestly no clue.
Even when including ext-all(-debug).js, you still need to include the ext-base.js file before that, otherwise you will get the "Ext is not defined error". Not sure by your last comment if you are already past this or not, but I thought I would point it out. Please see this page for complete details on how your includes should be set up:
http://www.extjs.com/learn/Tutorial:HTML_Page_Setup
there is a firefox extension called "jsview", it allows you to see what scripts and css files are included on a page.
When navigating to the link you include at the top of your post and opening the ExtJs file, you'll notice that the example provided is using version 2.1 of the code.
The Ext.ux.TinyMCE v0.6 has a corresponding blog post here. You will notice that it specifically requires:
Firefox 2+, Opera 9+, MSIE 7
ExtJS 2.1
TinyMCE 3.1.0.1
Ext.ux.ManagedIframePanel
Be aware that when plugging in a newer versions of the TinyMCE or ExtJs libraries, there might (read will) be breaking changes that you will then have to resolve. You could try scrape the files directly from the example to ensure you have a working version.
If you choose to use ExtJs v3+, get the latest components:
1) ux.ManagedIframe has been maintained more recently and even upgraded for ExtJS 3.x here
2) Read through the ux.TinyMce thread and download the latest version. I think it's 0.7b. If you're still having problems, that's probably the best place to find answers.
copy the lib folder in your eclipse workspace`s exjts project folder and just give the relative paths, is should than work
Go to ExtJs website and make sure you download and included all the necessary files and IN ORDER,also using a newer version might break the code.
try it with simpler examples and only reference the ext stuff and see if it loads
