I created a jsp page as follows:
<%@ page contentType="text/css" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Login page</title>
<link href="/css/loginstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<h1> India welfare</h1>
<p> welcome </p>
</body>
</html>
and named it as login.jsp
and i also created a css file called loginstyle.css and the code of the .css file is as follows:
body
{
background-color:#d0e4fe;
}
h1
{
color:orange;
text-align:center;
}
p
{
font-family:"Times New Roman";
font-size:20px;
}
the directory structure for css and jsp's are as follows: webcontent/welfare_web/css for .css files and webcontent/welfare_web/login for jsp files
the programming editor is eclipse and the server i am using is tomcat 7.0. when i am trying to run the login.jsp file using tomcat server. The css file is not showing any effect. i mean the output is normal text and is not as per the CSS file.
please help me how to make the .css file to effect the jsp file.
Answer
You can write like that. This is for whenever you change context path you don't need to modify your jsp file.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/styles.css" />
