html and css not linking-CodePudding

My html and CSS files are not linking even though they're in the same directory. here's my html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1">
    <title>temp</title>

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

</head>

I also tried using href="/main.css" and href="./main.css" but to no avail. would appreciate any help!

Use this app.use(express.static('public')); awesome talking to you guys.

CodePudding user response：

<link rel='stylesheet' href='./main.css' />

i don't know why it is not working for you. but it should work!!! have you tried restarting your app??

try it. close and then restart.

Try adding this snippet after title block

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
