i have been trying to link a css file i created in my local computer to my html code but it doesn't seem to work. Where should we keep the css file we want to link in our html code or how should we link to that file? As an example i am posting this html code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-GB">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Breeding Dogs—Tips about Alsatians</title>
<meta name="description" content="How to breed Alsatians, tips on proper breeding and information about common issues with this breed.">
<meta name="keywords" content="Dogs,Alsatian,Breeding,Dog,Tips,Free,Pet">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="styles.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="printstyles.css">
<script src="leaving.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
Test!
<a href="http://dailypuppy.com" onclick="return leave()">The Daily Puppy</a>
</body>
</html>
from this example, if i wanna re-create this where should i be keeping my styles.css file and etc. I am a little confused and could realy use a bit help , thank you.
It's dependent on your file structure. Conventionally, if you keep .html files in the root directory, you'd keep style files (.css) in a directory labeled css so your structure would like
/-
- /img
- /css
| --- style.css
| --- printstyle.css
- index.html
which means your tag line would read
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="./css/styles.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="./css/printstyles.css">
Please note the "./" preceding the directory name. This means it's a relative location and is needed if you're reading your .html files locally (using file:/// instead of serving them via a local server as I imagine you are).
Given the example you've posted there, the HTML file and style sheets should reside in the same directory, e.g. Somefolder/index.html and Somefolder/styles.css
