HTML5 Question

businessdit · 15-09-2014 12:48pm #1

I have a basic understanding of HTML/CSS/FTP and use these skills to update my small business website. Which is a static HTML site.

I am hoping to build a new site for my business and want to use a HTML5 mobile responsive template that I have found online.

However when I open the local (offline) HTML5 files in my browser all I can see is text content without any styling.

Does HTML5 editing work very differently to normal HTML hard coding?
Thanks,
Al

Are you using an external .css file? Do a search in the source code for ".css" and that's where your styling code is probably lurking.

HTML5 & CSS works the same way as HTML and CSS has always worked. Select "View Source" in your browser to make sure the HTML file can see the CSS file (or any other image files etc), that would be the best place to start. In chrome, you should be able to click all external references from the View Source tab. Hitting F12 might also give you some valuable information if there are script errors or resources missing.

OK thanks all this has helped me get a preview in the browser.

There is a background image hat I want to change - I have removed all of the old images from the images folder and the image still remains the same.

Is there another area that the image could be stored for HTML5?

Thanks,
