Css and html no longer linking after moving folder to server

[ArchliteX]

As part of an assignment in college I have to build a website and then upload it to a server.The html and css linked fine on my computer but now that I moved the folder they are in to the server they no longer link.The link in the html is <link type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet” href=”stylesheet.css”/>.Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like a path issue.

We can’t help much without knowing the folder structure and what the actual links look like.

I assume you have a folder structure for CSS / Images / Js etc?

You would need to have something like

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

etc.

Did you change your paths? e.g. file:///C:/example.html to http://www.example.html

Also, hake sure your file directory/directories are the same. If you had everything in a single file, but transferred only the files within that file, this can cause the problem.

<link href=”styles.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”> always works for me, and as long as all of your files are in the root folder, you shouldn’t have a problem. This may sound like a stupid question, but is your css file actually named stylesheet.css? Could it possibly be a naming problem? Also, you said it works on your computer. Does it work using your “preview in browser” function? I may be grasping at straws here, but I’m just considering other possibilities beside filepath problems.
