I have an issue with the background-image property in an external CSS file. I can't seem to get the image to show up. Its been while since I have coded so maybe it's just me forgetting everything I know but I'm pretty sure I have the link right. The website is set up like this
/Root/
index.html
/styles/
webstyles.css
/img/
header.jpg
The background works when I use it inline so it's starting to annoy me.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>MYSITE</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/webstyles.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="headerBar">
<h1 class="Hlogo">Title</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
body
{
background:#999999;
}
headerBar
{
background: url(/styles/img/header.jpg);
}
Thanks for any help.
If this style is in webstyles.css, then you need to use this way.
.headerBar{
background: url('img/header.jpg');
}
Based on the folder structure, "styles/img/header.jpg" is still a wrong path.
And also, I'm not sure why, but you are missing . for CSS class selector when selecting the headerBar. Fix that one too.
You can use:
background: url("styles/img/header.jpg");
Replace
background: url(/styles/img/header.jpg);
with
background: url('img/header.jpg');
You can use:
.headerBar
{
background: url("styles/img/header.jpg");
}
since styles folder is the same level as your HTML file.
However, if your img folder is not placed inside styles folder (which makes more sense), then you want this path instead:
.headerBar
{
background: url('img/header.jpg');
}
Also you're missing . to target class .headerBar

I am trying to make a CSS sheet inside an HTML document to change the background
image of a link.
You can make CSS make it so if you have your mouse go over something it can like change its color
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#a1:link, #a1:visited {
background-color:red;
padding: 15px 25px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#a1:hover, #a1:active {
background-color:green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a id="a1" href="home.html">
</a>
</body>
</html>
Is there a way to instead doing a color can you do an image?
I have tried
background-image:url('locationtoimage.jpg')
and it just makes the link disappear. I did change both
background colors to background-image and I did the proper format and things but it wont work? I have tried googling it but everyone just asks for like buttons to things but I am dealing with links.
Sorry if this was already answered somewhere else. I tried looking but I cant find anything. I am really sure that this is possible and simple and I might just be over looking something. Here is what I have.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#a1:link, #a1:visited {
background-image:url('media.jpg');
padding: 15px 25px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#a1:hover, #a1:active {
background-image:url('home.jpg');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a id="a1" href="home.html">
</a>
</body>
</html>
this works though
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#a1 {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
#a1:link, #a1:visited {
background-image:url('imageatasite');
padding: 15px 25px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#a1:hover, #a1:active {
background-image:url('imageatasite');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a id="a1" href="home.html">
</a>
</body>
</html>
but I am not using an image online im using one that is in my html folder
but it wont work?
Try googling an image and pasting that in the background image url to see if it's defientley not the file.
Failing that I would suggest to use a separate div wrapper to wrap the images. And on :hover use display none to hide the image you don't want to see on hover.
Then you can set the image to be 100% that of the div.
Check the file extension too just to be sure.
I dont fully understand what the problem is but other images do work. The images I wanted to use were the same file extension in the same folder but I took a snapshot of them and now they work just fine. Thank you for helping guys I think all is well now.
I'm a real noob at CSS/HTML, so please forgive me.
I tried to change the background page color on the CSS file linked to my html file, and it doesn't work. Whereas when I just flat out change it between the style tags in my HTML file, it works. What gives?
Plain and simple:
Ex1.css
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
</style>
</head>
SamplePage.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Sample Page </title>
<link rel = "stylesheet" href="Ex1.css">
</head>
<body>
Hello. This is a sample Page.
</body>
</html>
Your HTML is correct, and links to your CSS correctly (assuming Ex1.css is in the same folder as your HTML).
Your CSS is almost correct; the only problem is that you shouldn't include any HTML tags in your CSS document. Ex1.css should only contain the actual CSS declarations themselves (body { }).
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
<body>
Hello. This is a sample Page.
</body>
If in doubt, you can validate your CSS with W3's CSS Validator.
Hope this helps! :)
Reduce the contents of your Ex1.css file to this:
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
(no HTML code in CSS files!)
your css file will just have. Plain and simple
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
change your css file to this:
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
I really hope you can help me because I spent 2 days now looking for my mistake. I want to link an external css stylesheet into my html website but the website opens without css affecting it. I already validated both codes and checked spelling 1000 times, still not working. I tried with FF Chrome and IE:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<meta charset = "UTF-8"/>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="bilder/favicon.png" />
<title>Die Hauskatze</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/stylesheet.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
Stylesheet:
#charset "UTF-8";
body{
background: url(bilder/background.jpg);
}
img {
border: 4px black;
}
your css file is probably is in another folder than your bilder folder. Be sure to specify this in the path.
If the css file is in a css folder for example, you need to go one folder up then in you bilder folder.
body{
background: url("../bilder/background.jpg");
}
for the border you need to specify the border 'style' (solid, dotted, etc)
border: 4px solid black;
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_border-style.asp
For starter you can try to add quotes to your URL here
body{
background: url(bilder/background.jpg);
}
change it to:
body{
background: url("bilder/background.jpg");
}
If that doesn't help it is quite likely that your path is wrong.
You can see it inside your developer console once the page is being loaded.
In case of wrong url you will get an error that the img file was not found.
Is it possible to style a custom element with an external css file that is linked on the index page but not in an element itself. I haven't found any documentation about using a css file not within the element itself.
I have something like this example.
<head>
/* Use of only 1 css for all elements */
<link href="css/custom.less" rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<my-element></my-element>
<my-other></my-other>
<my-other2></my-other>
</body>
The problem is that the styling has been done in Firefox but not in Chrome.
So I know it's not a problem with the css.
Css looks something like this.
my-element {
header {
background-color: #article-color;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 25px;
h1 {
color: #ffffff;
}
}
}
/* Styling of other elements */
I know I can use css within the polymer element itself, but I don't want to do this. I have multiple elements and I want to style all of them within one css file that I link in the index file like in the example.
It is possible to style custom elements from the index file using a ::shadow or the /deep/ pseudo-element.
Example:
<head>
<style>
// This is thinking there is a 'p' in 'my-element'
my-element::shadow p{
color: red
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<my-element></my-element>
</body>
But please know this before you use it,according to the Polymer docs this method is not very efficient in execution, meaning it could potentially slow the rendering of the page if used a lot.

I am very new to css so this maybe a simple answer. I have 2 scenarios and 1 works the other doesn't. I hope someone can help me out.
WORKS:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image:url('views/default/images/home.jpg');
;}
</style>
</head>
DOESN'T WORK:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="views/default/home_style.css" />
</head>
In home_style.css>
body{
background-image:url('views/default/images/home.jpg');
margin-top: 0px !important;
padding-top: 0px !important;
}
It looks like your CSS file is in the views/default/ folder, while the image is in the views/default/images/ folder.
Define image paths in your CSS relative to the CSS file, not the HTML file that displays everything:
background-image:url('images/home.jpg');
In my case:
I had a CSS folder. So, inside my CSS folder I had my style.css so I was typing inside my style.css the following:
background: url('img/mybgimg.jpg')
instead of
background: url('../img/mybgimg.jpg')
...I hope this can help to anyone who is having the same issue.
