Answer 1

Well I faced this issue today and as workaround (not the best) I did below

<script type="text/javascript" src="testWeb/scripts/inline.31e1fb380eb7cf3d75b1.bundle.js"></script>

where testWeb is my root app folder in my htdoc dir. in windows (using xampp) or in /var/www/html directory as for some reason I do not know yet

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/inline.31e1fb380eb7cf3d75b1.bundle.js"></script>

not loading while html index file beside scripts folder in same directory.

Answer 2

Check both files in the same directory and then try this

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

Answer 4

I have struggled with this same problem (Ubuntu 16.04, Bluefish editor, FireFox, Google Chrome.

Solution: Clear browsing data in Chrome "Settings > Advanced Settings > Clear Browsing Data", In Firefox, "Open Menu image top right tool bar 'Preferences' > Advanced ", look for this image in the menu: Cached Web Content click the button "Clear Now". Browser's cache the .css file and if it has not changed they usually won't reload it. So when you change your .css file clear this web cache and it should work unless a problem exists in your .css file. Peace, Stan

I had a similar problem and tested different ways to solve it.

Eventually I understood that my index.htm file had been saved with "Unicode" encoding (for using Farsi characters in my page) while my .css file had been save with "ANSI" format.

I changed the encoding of my .css file to "Unicode" with Notepad and the problem got solved.

This may be a 'special' case but was fiddling with this piece of code:

ForceType application/x-httpd-php SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

As a quick test for extentionless file handling, when a similar problem occurred.

Some but not all php files thereafter treated the css files as php and thus succesfully loaded the css but not handled it as css, thus zero rules were executed when checking f12 style editor.

Perhaps something similar might occur to any-one else here and this tidbit might help.
