Hi
In my HTML I am trying to link to an external CSS file. All my many attempts look like the following
<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type = "text/css" href="mysite/assets/styles.css" /> </head>
In none of the variants, where I change the href value, can I get the CSS to load.
I have tried all kinds of variations on the href:
" styles.css" "/styles.css" "assets/styles.css" "mysite/assets/styles.css" etc. etc
and placed copies of styles.css in various directories
/home/crlong/mysite /home/crlong/mysite/assets /home/crlong/mysite/templates <== this is location of the html page
and in all cases I get error messages like the following when I try to debug using the browser
HTTP404: NOT FOUND - The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). GET - http://cliverlong.pythonanywhere.com/styles.css or HTTP404: NOT FOUND - The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). GET - http://cliverlong.pythonanywhere.com/mysite/assets/styles.css etc. etc.
I have looked at various documentation on HTML link href on the web and in Pythonanywhere Forums and I can’t work out exactly how this links together – assuming my value of the href is the problem.
If this is documented somewhere clearly and I just can’t find it, please just point me at that description.
Much appreciated.
