The style in {filename} was not applied as it has a MIME type of 'text/html', which is not a compatible stylesheet MIME type

Currently, I am working with an index.ejs file in conjunction with Express for a local host web server. However, I seem to be encountering 4 errors of 2 different types. You can view the errors here. Below is a snippet of my code:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Home</title>
    <!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/main.css"> -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/mobile.css">
    <link rel="icon" href="public/styles/images/icon.png">
</head>
<style type="text/css">
@import url("styles/main.css");
</style>
<body>
    <nav>

    </nav>
    <main>

    </main>
    <footer>

    </footer>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/javascript/main.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/javascript/mobile.js"></script>
</body>

I attempted to create test CSS and JavaScript files in the same directory as the index.ejs file, but unfortunately, I faced errors with those too. Strangely enough, when I changed the file type to index.html, there were no errors. I'm curious to know why this occurred, so any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer №1

This method of using @import url("styles/main.css"); is new to me, so I cannot guarantee its effectiveness.

Oftentimes, the error you are experiencing is due to a mistake in the path of your css/js files or if you have not properly set up your public folder in your app.js.

Ensure that you have included 

app.use(express.static('public'));
, and that within the public folder, you have subfolders named css, js, and images. Place all your js/css/images files into these respective folders.

Then, in your index.ejs file, make the following changes:

//to link to a css file:
<link rel="stylesheet" src="/css/yourFile.css">

//to link to a js file:
<script href="/js/yourFile.js"></script>

//to link to an image:
<link rel="icon" src="/images/yourImage.png">
