FontAwesome icons not showing. Why?
Recently I've been developing this website and I'm trying to put a font awesome icons in it, so it's scalable.
The thing is they are not showing up.
Look at the HTML:
<a class="btn-cta-freequote" href="#">Get a FREE Quote <i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i></a>
or
<li><a href="index.html"><span class="fa fa-home fa-2x"></span>Home</a></li>
I did put the stylesheet reference in the head.
I don't know why they aren't showing up.
Here is the reference:
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Alright, here is the full html:
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Retrica</title>
<link src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="style/normalize.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="style/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="style/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<header class="top-header">
<div class="container"><!-- Start Container -->
<div class="row"><!-- Start Row -->
<div class="span3"><!-- Start Span3 -->
<div class="logo"><img src="img/[email protected]" alt="" width="67px" height="13,5px"></div>
</div><!-- End Span3 -->
<div class="span9"><!-- Start Span9 -->
<nav class="main-nav"> <!-- Start Nav -->
<a class="btn-cta-freequote" href="#">Get a FREE Quote <i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i></a>
<ul class="nav-ul"> <!-- Start Unordered List -->
<li><a href="index.html"><span class="fa fa-home fa-2x"></span>Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span class="fa fa-mobile-phone fa-2x"></span> Contact Us</a></li>
</ul> <!-- End Unordered List -->
</nav><!-- End Nav -->
</div><!-- End Span9 -->
</div><!-- End Row -->
</div><!-- End Container -->
</header>
<section>
<a href="#" class="btncta">Register Now</a>
</section>
</body>
Answer
Under your reference, you have this:
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Specifically, the href= part.
However, under your full html is this:
<link src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Have you tried replacing src= with href= in your full html to become this?
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
