CSS not working in Chrome

Question

The CSS is not loading for this page of the website I am working on: http://www.thesanfordcenter.net/sanford-center. It happens only in Chrome, but is not a caching issue as the same problem is happening in Chrome on another computer and I have cleared all browsing and cache history in my browser.

It does seem to be working correctly in FF and IE. The sub pages on this site, which use a different template seem to be working fine.

I am not sure what it is that is causing this. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

In Google Chrome

>> goto settings
>> search for cache
>> clear browsing data
>> check cached images and files (the past hour / day)
>> clear browsing data

and goto your webpage and press "Ctrl + r"

Hope this solves your issue Cheers.

Make sure that your CSS and HTM/HTML files use the same encoding !

If your HTM/HTML files are encoded as UNICODE, your stylesheet has to be as well.

IE and Edge are not fussy : stylesheets are rendered regardless of the encodings. But Chrome is totally intolerant of unmatched encodings.

I tried every solution/suggestion i could find all over the Internet before i noticed, in my text editor, that i was using different encodings. Once I saved the stylesheets with the same encoding used for the web pages, the problem disappeared.

Are you certain the path is correct? The developer tools in Chrome show the following error.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (ERROR: The file requested could not be found.) http://www.thesanfordcenter.net/CircularContentCarousel/css/demo.css

Answer 4

Comparing css links between the page you referenced and sub-pages, you have a "media" attribute in your link:

Problem:

<link href="/stylesheets/css_Sanford.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (min-device-width: 481px" />

Working:

<link href="/stylesheets/css_Sanford.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Try removing the "media" attribute and it should work fine.

More specifically, it does not appear that "only" is a valid operating for the media attribute. See this W3Schools page for details.

Answer 5

It doesn't exist:

this is a 404 not found:

Answer 6

The problem could be caused because the browser can't load files:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) error in server
