Question

css file path is right, css codes are valid, but it doesn't work

Answer 1

+1 A:

Try Firefox and Firebug. Have a look in the error console; maybe it's just a small typo.

Won't show in the error console, but in the NET tab

hmm, it says "304 Not Modified" for css files. at Firebug Net tab

304 means that the browser already has the CSS in the cache and thinks it's up-to-date. Try to clear the browser cache.

Answer 2

A:

Try removing the media attribute. I dont know if that would affect it but its worth a try.

Answer 3

+1 A:

Probably not served as text/css. Did you check your server config?

Answer 4

+2 A:

The relative URL is likely wrong. To help you further we need to know two things:

What is the full (absolute) URL with which you open the HTML page? Check browser address bar.
What is the full (absolute) URL with which you can open the CSS file individually in your browser?

Once you know both, you can do the math to get the right relative path for use in link tag.

Answer 5

+1 A:

It's either the wrong content-type header as jensgram suggests, or the relative path you are giving (css/...) is wrong because the page itself is in a different folder.

Install Firebug and switch to the "net" tab. It will show you if the files failed to load due to a wrong URL.

Hm. That means they get definitely loaded. Then go to the Firefox error console and have it show all messages. If the CSS files' content-type header is wrong (usually text/html instead of text/css), it will say so there. (This can probably be done somewhere in firebug as well but I don't know where.)
