    Resolved [RESOLVED] v Studio 2019 CSS

    I’m using Visual Studio 2019 community edition. When I create an html page in designer it shows as expected but when I open the page from visual studio it’s opened using local host and none of the css formatting is used. If I open the page from the file manager using Edge, Firefox, or Chrome the page opens just fine. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    Here is the beginning of my html code thru the top menu. It shows fine when I open from file system, but when I open with visual studio it uses local host and no css is used.

    HTML Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title> Working Dogs</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../styles/BossStyle.css"/>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../styles/MenuStyle.css"/>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    <ul id="menu-bar">
     <li class="active"><a href="fav01.htm">Home</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">BJ</a>
      <ul>
       <li><a href="Boxer.HTM"></a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Products Sub Menu 2</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Products Sub Menu 3</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Products Sub Menu 4</a></li>
     </li>
     <li><a href="#">Test</a>
      <ul>
       <li><a href="Dog01.htm">Basic Breeds</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Services Sub Menu 2</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Services Sub Menu 3</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Services Sub Menu 4</a></li>
      </ul>
     </li>
     <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
    </ul>

    it probably doesn't like your relative path

    Whats your folder structure like? do you have your style-sheet 1 or 2 levels down from your web pages?

    in most apps you will have your pages on one level and then you might have your style-sheet in a sub folder called styles or something and in that case you would just need ../ once.

    Thanks NeedSomeAnswers

    You were right. when I changed my folder structure as you suggested - it works. I still don't understand why there was a problem using local host to view the file but when I opened the same file from file explorer using firefox or another browser it rendered just fine.

    Thanks for you help

    No problem,

    relative paths work a little differently in the web than in a file system.
