I have read the forum and have seen many people asking this question. When I try to link the CSS to the HTML it just doesn’t do it. I am using a Mac. I have the two files in the same folder so it is not a path error (I have seen that many people have suggested that as the answer to the issue, but I can assure you it is not), and when I use any other editor to open the HTML it reads the CSS just fine.

Is this a known issue? please advise.

Thanks,

Cesar

Sorry if it sounds a dumb question but:
what do you mean by “html not linking to the css”? supposing to talk about editor’s features, what actions/behaviours do you expect from ST when you open an html file (I’m asking because you did mention opening html in “other editors”)?

Oh no, it’s a good question actually. After sending it I felt like I should have included more details. When I write the following:

In the index.html file:

Hello World!

And then the style.css file is:

body {
background-color: blue;
}

When I open the .html file in safari (or chrome) I see “Hello World!” with a white (not blue) background. Both files are in the same folder.

Anybody?

ST doesn’t link style sheets to html, the browser does through the markup you provide. It seems that there is an issue with how the files are being served to the browser.

I can’t replicate the error you’re seeing, but the body end tag is missing in your HTML, which might be the cause.

Is that a known issue? any way around it? I haven’t been able to work from the mac and it’s be awesome to have a workaround.

Edit: I just read your post correctly. When I do it with any other editor it works fine so I’m not sure if it’s that.

Oops! I just wrote that in the forum as a way of simplifying the issue but all the end tags are properly coded in the actual file (I had to double check as I made that mistake here). Are you using PC or MAC? If you are using PC and cannot replicate the problem then it might be a MAC only issue.

Thanks for the replies! I hope I can get to the bottom of this.
