Duplicate css lines using html5reset - css

I'm using html5reset from http://html5reset.org for the first time. The issue I'm seeing is that the file core.css is being loaded twice or something. If you pull up firebug, you can see that for every element you click on there is a core.css and a core.css #2.
I can't figure out what is causing it to load twice. My site is http://ratemymechanic.us

I have found this in your HTML markup:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ratemymechanic.us/assets/css/main.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ratemymechanic.us/assets/css/core.css" />
in main.css, you're importing core.css too, hence you're applying it twice:
#import url("core.css");

Stylesheet doesn't gets applied on website after bundle (MVC)

The issue is CSS Does not effect on website after bundle although all of bundle process is fine
From the view source code page i can see the css file but it does not take any effect on website. The code bellow is what i used to call css and saw from view source code page and from my layout file.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" src="/Content/css?v2">
Does anyone have any idea for this?
Thank you.
You used
External Style Sheet
With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire website by changing just one file!
Each page must include a reference to the external style sheet file inside the <link> element. The <link> element goes inside the <head> section:
your code
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" src="/Content/css?v2">
try like ths
src should change to href
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/yourcssfilename.css">
</head>

datatables.min.css doesn't work from local project

I have a ASP.NET MVC project which uses JQuery Datatables to show a table.
The problem: the css stylesheet isn't applied when links to local css file. I've tried the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/Content/datatables.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Content/datatables.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Content/datatables.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Content/datatables.min.css" />
But this one (at the same place of my HTML) is working:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/dt-1.10.16/datatables.min.css" />
Even current sorting column highlight from this css doesn't work!
Of course, the CSS file exists in my project's Content folder, and its contents is totally the same, because I even try to copy the file from https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/dt-1.10.16/datatables.min.css and put it in project's Content folder.
So, the question is why doesn't the first HTML link snippet work?
Maybe, a bug in the MVC (it's up to date)?
jQuery DataTables distribution includes CSS, JS and image files (in the images folder).
Use Download builder, select Download tab and download all required files.
Also you should not use ~ in your URL. Most likely that is the reason why CSS is not applied. Use absolute URL /Content/datatables.min.css or relative URL Content/datatables.min.css instead.

Difference between <style type="text/css"> & <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

I'm rather new to this so its mostly (copy and paste) with a little YouTube and reading materials here and there.
Why have both? Please simplify you answer, don't go so technical.
<style type="text/css"> is when you want to have style rules embedded within the page.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/style.css" /> is when you have a separate stylesheet file that you want to reference in the current page - doing this means that clients don't have to download the CSS every time, which makes page-loads faster.
CSS has the #import directive, if you use <style>#import style.css;</style> then it's roughly equivalent to <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" /> (but with some minor differences: see Difference between #import and link in CSS ).
Method 1 (using <style type="text/css">)
Is simple way to declare CSS. But it should be used for small codes. When you want to overwrite an attribute of the main stylesheet.
Method 2 (using <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/style.css" />)
The first advantage of this method is that, we have a style in an external file. And that means that we can use it repeatedly. But this is not the end of the advantages. You can tell your browser to save the file in the cache. Which reduces page load time.
What is better?
In my opinion Method 2.
Using <style type="text/css"> is for CSS code in your HTML file and <link...> is for including an external CSS file.
The first case <style type="text/css"> is for including css definitions in your html file. The 2nd case puts the css definintions in style.css (or whatever file is the href). The 2nd case makes it easy to use the same css across multiple html files.
The first is used to insert css code directly in your html files, while the second is calling an external css file.

I am using tiles but the css file of baselayout wont be applied on all pages

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

Two CSS files linked, only one is being used, other is ignored

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!
