eXceem - Uploading CSS files!?

TEMPLE3188 · 22-01-08, 10:13 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know how to upload the CSS file properly for a website? I uploaded the css file and all of the image files used with it, but for some reason when i try loading the website from the web server, it wont load the webpage with the css properties

Does anyone know how to fix this, i've been trying for hours now

Is the css file in the right place? I think you have to refer to it like an image, so if your css file is in a folder then you have to have 'foldername/cssfile.css' in your html.

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />

put it in your index file, and the stylesheet.css file (or whatever you have named it) in the same place

Thanks for the reply praj. Well i just uploaded it to the server so far so that i could get it set up and running before organising it into folders etc. So i just uploaded it straight to the public_html folder. I've been checking if filenames etc are the same and they all seem to be perfect, the only other problem i have is that none of the images (seperate from the CSS) dont appear correctly but thats just a matter of changing the source, but i have looked through the CSS and everything seems to match

It works perfectly in dreamweaver, but its only when i upload it to the server that it wont read the CSS

Hmmm, I can't think of anything else wrong then, mind you I only have limited knoledge about this stuff.. Is your coding correct? Copy that line mwoody just posted to make sure you haven't made any typos.

TEMPLE3188 · 22-01-08, 11:09 PM

Copied the line exactly and still nothing, it was already in my index.html file and i put it into the CSS as well, just to be sure, i copied and pasted mwoody's code and replaced where needed

Hmmm sorry mate I'm all out of ideas! Good luck with your problem mate.

Ask chigley to help you, he's really good with coding etc..

Figured it out

, its always a stupid mistake when it comes to coding lol, i forgot to change the destination of where the CSS can find the images. It was still left at the address of the folder of the files i was working from the computer, so all i had to do was edit the address of the image files in the CSS

Thanks for help anyway guys, i was completely clueless before

haha lol glad you got it sorted!

i find dreamweaver a pain in the bum - code directly into notepad! its much more fun (and time-consuming) that way ..... w3schools is pretty darn helpful in case you ever get stuck
