the problem is that I have a css file that is pointed from my baselayout.jsp file as following, when I am in index.php it applies the css but when I move to Profile/view.jsp it does not.
when I look at the source I noticed it is looking the css file in Profile/stylesheets/Base.css rather than myproject/stylesheets/Base.css, how to point to it in a way that works on all pages.
<link href="<s:url value="/stylesheets/mycss.css"/>" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
Its a breeze, just change the address to solid address, as following
http://www.example.com/myPreoject/stylesheets/Base.css

Is there any standard place and way to define a css file and reference it in some of the pages of a subsite?
The following code works, but having an absolute path and an arbitrary location doesn't seems to be a good solution (specially when we are dealing with hundreds of topics.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="PATH_TO_FILE/mystyle.css">
Attaching your CSS file at any page and referencing it by appending /pub/%WEB%/Webhome/ to the path works. Maybe not a standard solution, but still works.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/pub/%WEB%/Webhome/mystyle.css">
So I've been slowly trudging my way through a responsive eBay listing template using Bootstrap, it took some trial and error but I seem to have nailed everything down except the ability to use font-awesome in the listing.
The first attempt at a solution was to point to the font-awesome cdn for the css file which is supposed to include the necessary information to embed the font, but it did not work.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
I read somewhere else where the link had http: in front, so I tried that, it also didn't work.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
Then I tried to point it all directly to my own server. So I put a full path to the css file on my server:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.lqskins.com/ebay/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
Then I edited the css file directly in order to put the correct path to the font files themselves in the css file, example:
src:url('http://www.lqskins.com/ebay/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.2.0')
None of these solutions have worked. If I pull up my test template on the server that points to the same css file, they work fine there. Is there a way to load font-awesome for use within an ebay listing, or is crippled beyond workability?
I am having no issues with this. The following code correctly displays a cog in my ebay listing.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<i class="fa fa-cogs"></i>
Background: For the website I am on (a roleplay forum) you are allowed to use custom css and html in posts. To do this, you have to use a [dohtml] BBCode tag. Then you can insert any css/html you wish.
Problem: Some users have used linked stylesheets to make theirs show up. And it works. But mine doesn't.
Other: I am unable to use a tag, because it's not a full html document. I am using it in the same manner, but for some reason mine is not working. Can anybody help me with this? Is there something wrong with my CSS?
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/23ktd8q6bdekhi8/scorix.css" />
EDIT: When someone links to this one, it works fine
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2uh6gphwjgmenu/betteralone.css?dl=1" />
The link should be a direct download link. This should work (at least, let's hope so):

Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with your HTML link code and your CSS validates flawlessly.
When loading two CSS files via an include I am only seeing one of them being used. The other isn't being included and I don't know why.
I have a standard header file which is included on all of the site's pages.
Example below:
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
This is of course a cut down version of the header for simplification. As you can see both CSS files are within the css directory. but only the main CSS file is being recognised.
Either one of the CSS files cannot be loaded (probably because of a typo or a server misconfiguration). You can detect that by checking that all resources are properly loaded in the developer tools of your browser.
The other cause may be that you're implicitly expecting your own stylesheets to take precedence over the default jQuery UI ones. If that's the case, move your own stylesheets under the jQuery UI one, or make your rules more specific than the default ones.
This is a simple demo that shows that your example works.
Solution:
In your live example, you're missing rel=stylesheet for the jQuery UI stylesheet:
<link href="css/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.css" type="text/css"/>
should be
<link href="css/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
You are missing the rel attribute in the first link tag, and most likely this is the reason it's not being parsed as CSS.
Looks like you forgot to close you link tags, just add a forward slash '/' before the closing of both tags.
You're certain the second file is linked correctly? Check Firebug's NET panel, for instance, to double-check that it's loading and not returning a 404 error or somesuch.
You wouldn't be the first developer to be brought down by an unintentional typo!
I have a set of Styles that were first created inside the style attribute on a page.
I want to move it from being on the page itself into a stylesheet.
however, when I move it to a .css file, the page breaks, move the code back to the html doc and it works fine again.
This makes absolutely no sense, moving styles from a style to a css file shouldnt break the code should it?
Am I missing something? I am not changing any of the code, its simply a copy and paste.
This is just a shot in the dark as (at the time of this post) you haven't provided source code.
Make sure you're linking to your stylesheet using a link tag in the head of the HTML document.
If you had:
<style type="text/css">
/* <![CDATA[ */
#someid
{
margin: 0;
padding: 3px 12px;
}
/* ]]> */
</style>
You'll need to have
#someid
{
margin: 0;
padding: 3px 12px;
}
in your CSS file with:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/style.css" />
to link to the stylesheet.
Some common newbie mistakes include:
<style type="text/css" src="path/to/style.css">: because it's a similar syntax to the <script> tag, which would make sense, but is invalid
<link rel="stylesheet" src="path/to/style.css">: but link elements use href not src
placing link elements within the body: although browsers will tend to manage link elements in the body, there are likely going to be some errors, and it's not a defined behavior
not specifying a doctype declaration: allows the browser to go into quirks mode, which is never a good idea.
You should make sure the stylesheet is properly imported.
Sometimes the #import doesn't work well if not used accordingly, so always reference your stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="name-of-stylesheet.css" />
Always remember to close the <link> tag as it's a self-close tag. I think #zzzzBov forgot to mention that.
Finally, if that doesn't work, try to override some of the styles by physically writing (above the </head> section) something like:
<style type="text/css">
body { background: blue; }
* { color: red; }
</style>
and see if that gives you a blue background and red colored text. It should. After that, try to implement the referencing method and make sure you reference the stylesheet file to the right directory.
Good luck!
I had the same problem, but the cause was not some mistake in the code but the fact that the .css file was loaded with some delay after making the modifications in it. The server needed 5 - 10 minutes to update the changes.
I had this problem as well, and the reason was that the path had to be updated for some url() references since the css file was in another folder than the html file it previously was called from.
So basically
background-image: url('patterns/debut_dark.png');
had to be changed to
background-image: url('../patterns/debut_dark.png');
Don't include <style type="text/css"></style> in your .css file.
I had the same issue and was quite frustrating. I had a css file that was properly referenced, however not all the elements were being loaded from it. As it turns out, it was a cache problem in Chrome. After clearing it and restarting the window, the css elements were working correctly.
Ran across same problem. Found there were lines in my css file that should have been commented out (a block of colour palette information that I had cut and paste to the top of the file for quick reference).
If all your syntax seems fine, then its most likely a browser cache problem that we can easily fix. In your html/php file, reference your new .css style sheet (e.g. styles.css) by adding an extra random parameter. This will force browsers visiting your page to fetch your latest styles.css.
In the of your html/php file, you should have something like this to load your new styles.css file:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
simply change it to be like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css?ref=v1" />
that extra "?ref=v1" will prevent browsers from re-using the styles.css file they have cached, and will force browsers to get your very latest styles.css file. As you make updates to the styles.css file and upload them to your web server, just change the "v1" to "v2" etc. or whatever naming system you like so that browsers are forced to reload the latest styles.css. Note adding this "?ref=v1" to the link does not need you to change the name of your styles.css file (you can change the file name but i find that gets messy). This is a simple and clean way to force browsers into re-fetching your very latest .css file.
