So, I thought I'd try my luck on ASP.NET. I didn't get very far before I found my first problem.
I have a folder layout like so:
\
->Admin
-->Admin.Aspx
->CSS
-->Style.css
->Images
-->bg.gif
Default.aspx
Default.master
Both admin.aspx and default.aspx use the default.master page, which contains the line:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/Style.css" media="screen" />
This works for the default.aspx page, because the path is valid, but for the admin page it's not.
Is there any special character, like ~ for home in Linux, to indicate the root path?
I can't use just a slash, because the website maybe under a sub folder when hosted.
Hopefully I've explained myself so you can understand what I need to do :)
I guess it's more an HTML issue than an ASP issue.
If your <head></head> tag contains runat="server" (which IIRC it does by default) you can simply specify it as:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/CSS/Style.css" media="screen" />

I have a folder in my web application where aspx page and content page both are there and master page is in root location. I am using the css path which is loading fine in firefox console for aspx page but the same path is not loading for content pages checked in firefox console. Due to that some of the boostrap functionality not working.
Below is the css path for aspx page
<link href="MySheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and same path is used for content page
<link href="MySheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Need help in this.
The browser resolves the href url in a relative manner. If it's located in the root, you can place "/" in the beginning of the path, like this:
<link href="/MySheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
this will instruct the browser look for the stylesheet in the root, regardless of the current page's relative path. But if you use a server-side technology, like ASP.NET, there's another way of specifying the application's root - "~/", in this case, though in this case you'd have to add runat="server" to the tag, so it would look like this:
<link href="~/MySheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server" />
I have an ASP.NET web app hosted in a windows dedicated server.
In my app there are many folders. To simplify my problem let's say I have this scenario:
folder
default.aspx
css
js
I would like to setup default.aspx as my default page, meaning, when a user types domain.com, default.aspx is shown.
In order to do this, I edited my web.config file and it works.
The problem is styles and javascripts.
My default.aspx contains this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/xxxx.js"></script>
<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
So the styles and javascripts aren't found.
I really don't want to remove the folder and put everything in the root, and just moving the default.aspx page is not really an option, as I have a MasterPage.
use resolveUrl or a path from root to resolve locations of js and css
<script src='<%= this.ResolveUrl("~/js/xxxx.js") %>' type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="~/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
If you're wanting to link to items, you can use the path from the website root. Just place a slash in front of the path.. like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/webedit.css" type="text/css" />
You could use Page.ResolveUrl method to get correct paths:
<script type="text/javascript" src='<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/js/xxxx.js") %>'></script>
<link href='<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/css/styles.css")' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

EDIT: it's mentioned in the comment that this is not working for stylesheets. It's partially true. It won't work for server-side, but will for client-side elements.
It seems your <link> element is located inside a server-side <head> tag, this means ASP.NET treats <link> inside <head> as a server-side controls even if you didn't specify runat="server" attribute there. So you don't need to use a server-side construct in that case:
<link href="~/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
For ASP.NET WebForms and MVC projects I strongly reccomend moving to Client Dependency framework and let it handle your page dependencies.
For your two dependencies you simply add these declarations to the page:
<CD:CssInclude ID="CssIncludeStyles" runat="server" FilePath="~/css/styles.css" />
<CD:JsInclude ID="JsIncludeXXXX" runat="server" FilePath="~/js/xxx.js" />
This is already cleaner then calling this.ResolveUrl on each dep. declaration.
You can furthermore facilitate the declaration of dependencies by introducing mapped paths in the dependency framework (see documentation for how-to).
An easiest way to start with client dependency is to add it via NuGet to your ASP.NET web site project.
It ensures you never have duplicate dependencies on one page and gives you a control over how dependencies are ordered.
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 my application I have next problem. I created master page and some content pages, some of which are located in the nested folders. In the master page I added the link to .css file
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
But pages are located in the nested folders can't use this .css file. How can I fix this? I want to have one .css file for all pages (:
Thanks!
<link href="~/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This problem can be resolved by adding next code in master page
<style type="text/css" runat="server">
#import '<%= ResolveUrl("~/default.css")%>';
</style>
But designer of VS can't process this and you couldn't view your styles in it.
The css shouldnt be relative to the master page but rather it should be relative to the location of the Page instance using the master page. In most cases this will be the same thing but I would always try to use either a fully qualified path or a site relative path
Fully qualified path
<link href="http://some.site.com/mysite/styles/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
or a relative path (note this might not work if you have a version which can only host one site but many apps such as WinXP)
<link href="/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Win xp relative path
<link href="/path/to/application/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
If you using website under website, change in subfolder masterpage CSS link
<link href="Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
change with below
<link href="../Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The way you defined you style sheet means: the style sheet is in the same folder as the page which uses it.
If you want to have one style sheet for all pages you should put in in one place (I prefer /assets/css folder in the application root) and define the path using this folder:
<link href="/assets/css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The other way to archieve this is to use Themes, in this case styles will be added automatically.
In the head portion of my Master page i have a link to an external CSS file
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Although i am able to apply the style in child pages in design time...
<asp:Label ID="Label" runat="server" CssClass="BodyText" Text="This is a link"></asp:Label>
...in run time child pages have no style.
So, What am i missing here?
If your child pages are in a subdirectory, they'll expect the style sheet in that directory as well. changing the reference to the style sheet to ../style.css or /style.css should help.
The path to the CSS file (and any other file - images, javascript, etc) is relative to the page (the page address in the browser). If the master page is in a different folder than the page, then the css file may not be found.
Try using either an absolute path, a path relative to the root, or a path to the CSS file like this:
<link href="~/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Try using the root operator "~" for stylesheets in your master page:
<link type="text/css" href="~/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
ASP.NET resolves the ~ operator to the root of the current application. You can use the ~ operator in conjunction with folders to specify a path that is based on the current root.
