Courses Plus Student 45,640 PointsThe problem is how you're linking to your CSS. You need to go up one directory from your include folder. Your link should look like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css" type="text/css">
Mind B
2,624 PointsI have tried that but it didnt work. Thank you
David Tonge
Courses Plus Student 45,640 PointsCould you explain your file structure? Because if your header.php is in a include folder there's no way to access it without going up one level unless your CSS folder is in the enclosed folder.
Mind B
2,624 Pointsstyle.css is inside "css folder" header.php is inside the "include folder" the images of the shirts, is in the "shirt folder" and the "shirt folder" is in the "img folder". I have my folders structured the same way as the one in the video except that the folder with the name "inc" in the video i have named "include". Also the css works fine with the header and the navigation links but doesn't work with the list items, anchor links and other things on the shirt.php page. Thanks
Mind B
2,624 PointsHi, i figured it out. It was a syntax error. Thanks for your effort.
Colin Marshall
32,861 PointsSo you're getting no styles at all? Check the JavaScript console of your browser and see if there is an error message that might point us in the right direction.
Mind B
2,624 PointsThe styles works fine with the header and navigation links but not with the list items and the image.
