CSS not being registered on my browsers! :(

#1

Hi,

Iā€™m having a big issueā€¦
My computer is not registering the CSS that I write in Sublime. I tried in all my browsers (Chrome, FF, Safari) and itā€™s the same. All my HTML changes appear when I reload my pages but none on the CSS modifications are being ā€œprocessedā€.
I recently caught some malware and threw a whole bunch of files in trash to clean up my hard drive. Iā€™m worried there is a plugin or an app necessary for text editor to function that I probably got rid of by mistake. I called Apple and they havenā€™t be able to find the issue.
Does anybody know what it could be?
Thanks in advance.

Doesnā€™t sound like this is related to Sublime Text at all. You should verify the contents of the CSS file using ā€œcatā€ command or some other editor. If it looks fine, I guess the problem is somewhere else.

You could use the Dev tools/Inspector of your browser and look which CSS file is actually being used when rendering the page. You can see the contents easily.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes the problem is somewhere else but I donā€™t know how to target it. It looks the connection between my browsers and my text editor is not being made properly. I clearly deleted an extension or a plugin that processes CSS. I donā€™t know where to lookā€¦

Are you sure youā€™re loading the CSS in your HTML? Maybe you made a mistake with your path: have a look in the console, an error will be logged if you pointed to an unexisting file

I made a mistake in my pathā€¦ indeed. Got frustrated and couldnā€™t see it.
Thank you both for getting back to me.
Happy coding!

Just to clarify, there should be no special ā€œconnectionā€ between the browser and Sublime Text. CSS file is just a text file which the browser reads if it is found based on the path defined in the HTML file. And you definitely canā€™t delete the CSS reading capability out of a modern browser :smiley:

But glad you resolved it! I suggest reading some basic HTML+CSS tutorials to get hang of it.
