CSS External Linking Problems

Nov 17th, 2005

Ok, I am trying to get a CSS file to work with my website but it won't load when I goto my page. All it really does is change the color of some of the text but nothing is happening. I've uploaded it to the server and is in the /www/ysfdata.freefronthost.com/main.css. I linked it EXACtLY like the way three of my books said. It just changes the color of the text that is surrounded by the span and is the class of infoheaders my css file looks like this:

span.infoheaders {color: red;}

this is the HTML file it is in the same dir as the css file:

The text I am tring to edit is red.

Help appreciated :cheesy:

Re: CSS External Linking Problems

That looks correct. Make sure that your .css file doesn't contain any HTML tags at all, only style declarations.

Note: when I look at your actual CSS, you're missing a semi-colon:

http://ysfdata.freefronthost.com/main.css shows: span {color: red}

Also, you have a system path to the CSS in your link, rather than an HREF. You need to provide a path that the Web Browser would understand, not the path the web server uses.
