Stalingrad Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hey! My whole website was deleted at the beginning of the month, so I'm re making the entire site, well.. I'm having a HUGE problem with the CSS. I want the css page to be external. Ih ave a file named style.css here is the EXACT code on the style.css page: <style> banner{ font-size: 30px; font-color: black; font-family: verdana; } top{ font-size: 8px; font-color: red; font-family: verdana; } body{ font-size: 14px; font-color: blue; font-family: verdana; } </style> Now.. my website is PHP based, and I'm having trouble getting it to show up. Here is the page I want the css to work on (well, it will be all pages, but I only have index.php up so far). Here is the EXACT code for index.php (with exeption of my database user/password): <?php include("style.css"); echo "<banner>Welcome to Hangeia!</banner><br><br><top>Testing this!</top><br><br><body>Testing this again!!</body>"; ?> If anybody can please help me, I would really apreciate it, thanks!!

Stalingrad Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 i'[m not quite sure what you mean, but i think I remember putting something other than just <banner> . Do I put <td class=< "banner"> ? I tried that and nothing happened but I think I'm getting closer. Thanks!

harryuk Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 You have to link every page you want to use the CSS. Are you linking the two pages the right way round?? And last Question are you using dreamweaver? if not what software are you using??

Stalingrad Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm using cpanel to upload my stuff. I do NOT use any program, I create them myself. I'll show you both pages: style.css: banner{ font-size: 30px; font-color: black ;font-family: verdana; } top{ font-size: 8px; font-color: red; font-family: verdana; } body{ font-size: 14px; font-color: blue; font-family: verdana; } and now my index: index.php: <html><head><title> Hello World </title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head><body> <?php echo "<td class=\"banner\">Welcome to Hangeia!</banner><br><br><td class=\"top\">Testing this!</top><br><br><td class=\"body\">Testing this again!!</body>";?> </body></html> othing is working... I had this problem years ago, but I messed around with it and fixed it. I've googled eveyrthing today... nothing is working. thanks!

Pikachu2000 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It sounds like a path issue to me. Is the stylesheet in the same directory as the file that is linking to it? Is that directory the document root of the server?

harryuk Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Try putting a # or a . before the CSS name. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243485-external-style-sheet-will-not-link-help-please/#findComment-1250345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 your missing some stuff and your adding some unnecessary style too. first things first: assign a type attrribute to your style tags like so: <style type="text/css"> ... </style> in case you use styletags that is Also: If you target a class you assign a dot as a prefix like so: .top (generic) If you target an ID you assign a # as a prefix like so #unique (unique element) Besides that have a look at the following (your code adjusted) body{ font-size: 14px; color: blue; // removed the word font- font-family: verdana; } .banner{ font-size: 30px; color: black; // removed the word font- // removed the font-family since it already gets it from the body } .top{ font-size: 8px; color: red; // removed the word font- // removed the font-family since it already gets it from the body } every time you have troubles with css, go to the w3c validator and run it through: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator if you have troubles with mark up run it through the other validator: http://validator.w3.org besides that a decent editor is a must happy coding!
