Question

CSS Stylesheets not being recognized?

Hi! I am using a website layout that I found for free (under the Creative Commons license). I have uploaded all its files exactly where they need to go, and both local and remote server match exactly. However, while Dreamweaver is reflecting the CSS stylesheets just fine, the stylesheets are not recognized in any web browser. How do I fix this?

    Did you define your local site folder in DW before you began this project?  That's a critical first step.  Without it, DW cannot properly manage site assets for you.   Go to Site > New Site .   Enter the name and location of your site folder.  In my example, it is C:\MyTestSite\

     

     

    Files Panel.

     

    Below shows the proper code linking the index page to an external stylesheet in my css folder.

    <link href="css/bootstrap-4.2.1.css" rel="stylesheet">

    Yes! Everything is exactly where it should be. I think the issue I am running into is in the coding? Is this correct for linking a stylesheet? 

     

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

    If that is where the style sheet resides, then the link is correct.

    I've tested using a Dreamweaver basic template, and that isn't working either-- stylesheet isn't being recognized. This seems like it might be an FTP problem but I don't know how to fix it. Help, please?
