Hi, The location of my CSS file is /Users/guillaumechorn/Documents/project/myapp/static/stylesheet.css. Sorry, I may have missed you asking for this earlier.
Here is my views.py: http://dpaste.com/660653/ When I hardcode the disk location of the CSS file in the template (like so: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/Users/guillaumechorn/Documents/project/myapp/static/stylesheet.css" type="text/css" />), the CSS shows up if I open the template file directly using a browser. But it still doesn't show up when loading up the page on the development server. thanks, Guillaume On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 9:57 AM, Ivo Brodien <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > looks fine. > > yes, show your views.py > > and you can also hardcode the STATIC_URL in the template to see if the > path: src=“/static/stylesheet.css” works. > > or simply open http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/stylesheet.css in your > browser. > > Again: Where is that CSS file on your disk? > > On Nov 23, 2011, at 2:46 , Guillaume Chorn wrote: > > Sorry, I think I made something confusing.
