Dropbox

Hello SevenForums!

It's a pretty popular feature that you can upload your .txt and .html file into your Dropbox, and then be able to read it directly from your browser, without downloading it.

In my case, I use .html and make different tags like <h1> <p>, all simple tags like that.

Take THIS example. You see, it's all there. Look even at the URL, it's defiantly from my Dropbox, and it's public!

So now to the actual question.
The path on my Dropbox i'm uploading this .html file to, is a little folder called "Project". In that folder, the .html file is there.

I want to upload a .css file, as a Stylesheet, and expect it's working.

Now, is this possible? By this, I can create different designs, and uploading them. I've tried it, but the .html doesn't apply the .css.

All suggestions are welcome!

Clicking on your Example, gets me to a 403 page saying I don't have access.

yep - 403 here too

are you sure your project folder is in your public folder?

It's now uploaded in public folder!
This is just pure HTML, I want the Stylesheet to function

i'm still getting a 403 error for your link.

i've just made a very quick webpage here in my dropbox folder linking to an external stylesheet - it's all working as expected. i didn't have to do anything special - i just followed the normal rules for html and css.

my very simple htm:

HTML:

<html>
<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen">
 
</head>
<body>

<p>hello world</p>

</body>
</html>

and my css:

Code:

p { color: blue;
font-size:48pt;
}

then i went into my dropbox public folder and copied the public link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22096449/css/hello.htm

as you can see, the text is big and blue.

Hello Mickey!

So the whole thing is about uploading it to the public folder eh?
Awesome!

+1 Rep for all posers,
FredeGail

mickey megabyte · Jun 29, 2011

yes - it has to be in your public folder for others to have access to it. all other folders are private.

also, there's no rep in the chillout room.

FredeGail · Jun 29, 2011

Help is most appreciated.
I promise, i'd like to give you rep in another thread.

Best Regards,
FredeGail

mickey megabyte · Jun 29, 2011

thanks, i never turn down rep

let us know how you get on with your css linkage.

then you can mark the thread as 'solved'.

FredeGail · Jun 29, 2011

Hmm.. I tried putting both .css and .html on my desktop, and the CSS applies to the HTML so that's perfect, but when I upload the Stylesheet and the HTML-codings .. it just won't apply the CSS.

Best Regards,

as i 'said' above, i didn't need to do anything special - i just have the html and css files in my dropbox public folder.

how are you linking the css file?

like this, in the <head> of the html?

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen">

Yeah the code is totally like that.
The only difference is the href src is called "css.css" here, which makes no differences.
Yeah, it's in the <head>

and the css file is in the same public folder as the html?

i'm sorry, but i don't have any more ideas nor help - it just works for me as i've said.

</head>

<body>
<b>This is my HTML document, you should be able to see this in your browser.
To prove that the <h..> tags are working, look below</b>
<br />
<h1>test</h1>
<h2>test</h2>
<h3>test</h3>
<h4>test</h4>
