r/neocities on Reddit: Why is my CSS not appearing?
July 8, 2022 -
Hello! I'm absolutely brand new to this (I learned very basic HTML as a child but not much), so I've been following this tutorial to try and make a basic layout for my site. I've been writing the code in CodePen and everything seems to look fine (don't mind the silly placeholder text): https://codepen.io/catciuin/pen/OJvNzeM
I've already added the basic HTML to Neocities, which is also working fine. However, when I try to add the CSS link using <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">, it just doesn't show up at all. The stylesheet is just saved as "style.css" and is in the same folder as index.html - just the default folder, I haven't added any new ones. I've googled around and tried a few solutions with no luck, including adding other tags, creating a new .css file, adding . or ./ in front of style.css.
It also doesn't show up even if I add it into the HTML, without a separate file. I've tried adding it at the top or bottom of the page, inside <head> tags, just about every suggestion I've been able to find.
I can't figure out if I'm missing something really obvious or what :( any help would be really appreciated!
EDIT: I ran the same HTML & CSS on w3spaces and it seems to be just fine. Is this a neocities specific issue? :s

I forget if brand new Neocities sites already have a style.css file, but if that's the case, your browser probably still has the old version cached. Shift+refresh will force most browsers to check again and find the new version, rather than relying on the version they have cached. Although, it should have worked if you put it in the head... I wonder, did you put it directly in the ? If you ever do that, it needs to be within If that's still not working, would you mind linking your site so we can take a look?

All of these lead to wrong nesting, ... layouts, CSS not working, scripts to throw errors, and more calamity. I recommend inspecting your site with your browser's Dev Tools: It lets you see the nesting visually. Hovering over the code for an element, for example, highlights that element on the page. Getting nesting right is difficult in an editor that doesn't check for nesting errors or formats your HTML automatically (such as Neocities' built-in ...

December 17, 2024 - however when i open it on my ipad (ipados 17.6.1 both opera and safari), it doesn't display any of the fonts i selected, not even the basic ones like sans-serif. instead it shows some serif font (shown in the first screenshot). i asked my friend to open the site on his phone (ios 16.7.10 google chrome) and send me a screenshot, and it seems like none of the css loads for him except the background gradient (second screenshot). i feel like this is likely a neocities problem and not a device one?

As for the CSS file, just go to where I said it was (again, catboybeebop.neocities.org/styles/main.css) and it'll just be displayed raw.

Help! My CSS Isn't Working!
In this column, we'll explore a few of them, including the dreaded "disappearing styles" bug in Netscape and an easy way to keep your length values from working. Upon encountering a problem, the first impulse is often to wonder if the styles are correctly written. Fortunately, there are a number of resources to help you figure that part out. There are the articles here at Web Review, of course, but they may not cover your particular situation. You need to make sure that there aren't any errors in either your HTML or your CSS, since mistakes in either place can result in botched document appearance.
