What is the proper way to have a favicon for a website in XHTML?
1.Does it have to be .ico or can it be .gif or .png?
2.Is this the proper code for embedding and rel value:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursitedotcom.here/favicon.ico"/>
3.Does the favicon file have to reside in the root of the site or it can be anywhere and correctly specified in the link href attribute?
4.Anything else?
Thank you.
1.Does it have to be .ico or can it be .gif or .png?
ya it can be gif or png too, but standard is ico
2.Is this the proper code for embedding and rel value:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursitedotcom.here/favicon.ico"/>
this is correct
3.Does the favicon file have to reside in the root of the site or it can be anywhere and correctly specified in the link href attribute?
it can be any where as long as path is correct
4.Anything else?
google for any thing else
you can find a table for compatibilty of datatypes/browsers on wikipedia. the favicon can be located in a subfolder if you specify the correct path in your link-tag. and: yes, your code is ok (more about the link-tags on the wikipedia-article, too).

I looked over some of the same questions on stack overflow and tried all the best answers. None of them worked.
I am learning html5 with CSS stylesheet. I looked over a website tutorial of building a web page with login form by flask.
So it has this base.html file which has some code links to a css file:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>RELAX AND WORKOUT</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bulma.css" />
</head>
Originally, followed by 'href' was a http link and it worked. But I downloaded the same css file and put it in the same folder as the base.html file so I can play with this css file.
They are both at ./project/templates/the_file
This is the link to download the css file: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.7.4/css/bulma.css
It was also originally the tutorial author put after 'href='. But when I changed it to my local file name 'bulma.css', it does not load the stylesheet at all.
I also tried absolute path and relative path. Neither of them worked.
I'm running it on Windows 10. Using Python 3.7 and flask.
So in my case, how do I make the html load this local css file?
Edit:
Ok, I made it work eventually.
I made a new folder called "static" and put the css file inside it. Then I changed the path to this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/bulma.css" />.
Does it mean flask treats the "templates" folder as a special folder only for html templates, it does not recognize other file formats?
But I saw a question which the person put his css file in the same directory. The answer is to just add a dot and it worked. That was why I put it with all the other html templates in my templates folder. But it never worked in my case.
From flask docs:
Flask automatically adds a static view that takes a path relative to the flaskr/staticdirectory and serves it. The base.htmltemplate already has a link to the style.cssfile:
{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}
You need to create a folder called static inside your flask app directory with your static files inside, ex.: CSS, images, etc.
In your html code use:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href= {{ url_for('static', filename='bulma.css') }}>
</head>
Try changing your href="bulma.css" to href="./bulma.css" and see if it works.
Are you sure you don't have to go into the templates folder? "/templates/bulma.css"
Hit F12 to open up the development pane. Go to the network tab. Refresh the page. Is the file listed in that list? You may have to refresh your cache to have it take effect. To do that: CTRL+SHIFT+R. If the file is listed in there you can view the preview to make sure it's current, if not you will still need to do a force refresh on the cache.
As for URL's you can also use an absolute file path starting at the root with href="../project/templates/filename.css" (use 2 periods). The following is a website for more info on this:

I am new to the domain. I want to include a CSS file in my master pages,but it is not working can anyone try to help me out of this problem..
I give the link to the CSS externally as
<link href="Stylesheet1.css" rel="Stylesheet1" type="text/css" />
Is there any necessity to include CSS classes in master page if so how and where I have to include?
Try:
<link href="~/Stylesheet1.css" rel="Stylesheet1" type="text/css" />
Tilde (~) represent root directory.
If this doesn't work, if you can show us your directory structure, and look at the rendered source we can help more.
You can of course not use the Tilde (~) on tags that are not run server-side, what you have to do is something like this:
<link href="<%= ResolveClientUrl("~/Stylesheet1.css")%>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Or just do a method that gives you back a full link-tag.
There's nothing wrong with the syntax of your <link> tag. The problem is likely to be caused by the fact that your CSS file isn't located at the URL you're attempting to get it from.
The href attribute in your markup specifies a file called Stylesheet1.css in the same folder as your master page. If its not you should specify the location of the stylesheet using standard, virtual path or move the stylesheet to the same folder as your masterpage.

In the root of my domain i have the CSS file style.css and the masterpage file site.master.
The link to the CSS file within the site.master is
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
The problem is that webpages contained within subdirectories do not inherit the CSS file.
What am i doing wrong here?
If i copy the style.css file to the subdirectories everything works like a charm...
UPDATE: If i change the path to /style.css or to ~/style.css the style is Not applied also to the webpages within the root folder.
MasterPages use the containing page for the path.
change your css tag to be a server control and use the "~" root symbol.
<link id="lnkStyle" runat="server" href="~/style.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
You need to specify the path as /style.css.
Well the obvious question is, does the other pages inherit the correct masterpage, namely the one with your css link?
ie.
<%# Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"...
also perhaps '/' before file name would help
If you're including that link tag in your master page, the HTML being output by the content pages in subdirectories contains a link to "style.css", which the browser looks for in that directory.
If you're developing in ASP.NET, you should be placing your CSS files in themes, which will take care of this problem. If you really don't want to do that for some reason, make the URL to the stylesheet an application-relative path ("~/style.css") and make the link tag executed on the server; I believe that that will resolve the application path and generate an absolute URL.
Try this:
<link href="<%: Url.Content("~/style.css") %> rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
It will make the path relative to your hostname, giving the correct path to your pages in the subdirectories. Right now, just linking style.css gives it the folder relative path, so its looking inside of the same folder your page is in, instead of where you intended. Hope that helps. You could also re-write your link with a preceding forward slash, like "/style.css" and that should also do the trick.
i want to include a css file into the header of my documents, but i have a few questions:
1.Where should i set the path to media, and it should be a relative/absolute path? In settings.py, i 've tried setting MEDIA_URL but my style is still 'unseen'
2.how can i make the htmls to inheric that syle (for not adding the href in every page)?
i've tryed writing like:
<link href="/media/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
having set
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
but it doesn't work.
media is a folder inside my project
shold i set the Media _root to? how should this be done?
thanks
you also need to handle the url that serves the file,
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
I have this quite popular problem, but have failed to find a solution that works.
Basicly, I am using a Master Page (/Masterpages/Default.master), that includes
<link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />
And it also includes some images with the same relative linking.
But when I apply the Master Page to content pages (in diffrent folderlevels) the css formating and images is lost.
Is there anyway to dynamicaly solve the folderlevel links to css and images to all content pages using the masterpage?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE:
There is an additional problem. It's tricky to get the output to render correctly in both the browser and in design view in Visual Studio.
I got it to work by using the asp:image solution for the images in the masterpage and by double linking the css in the masterpage, one to make it render in VS and one to make it render correctly browsing the site.
<link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="<%=ResolveUrl("~/css/style.css")%>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
best to use:
<link href="<%=ResolveUrl("~/css/style.css") %>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />
since this will cope with iis application roots unlike:
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />
You can make your link runat="server" and use tilde mapping to make the CSS path relative to the site root.
<link runat="server" id="siteStyle"
href="~/css/style.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
The images referenced in the CSS should be relative to the location of the CSS file and should resolve normally once the CSS file itself is included properly. For images in tags on the page, you would need to use the ASP:Image control and, again, use the tilde mapping for a path relative to the root.
Fairly sure this will work
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />
/ takes you to the root of your site
You can use the tilde to get the link to work from anywhere. This will work in Images as well.
<link runat="server" href="~/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />
Images in CSS are relative to the file they are referenced from.
(An exception from this is the "filter" rule in Internet Explorer which is used for PNG fixes. The images in this case are relative to the HTML document.)
Yes, the problem is that the materpage is using a relative url to load the CSS:
"../css/style.css"
you need to change this to the site root (depending on the location of your css files) something like:
"/css/style.css"
than all the various folder levels can use the same url.
Actually, master pages will rebase css files for you automatically, without you having to add runat="server". Be sure that your css file is located one directory down in the folder you specified.
You can use an absolute path to the css file, but visual studio doesn't seem to render the styles in design view when you do this. Also, sometime you won't know if you're going to be running in a virtual directory, so it's not always ideal to use the absolute path.
Also, use relative links to your image assests from the css file itself - which will work irrespective of how you link to your stylesheet.
