Html & Css Problem

Question

User-1306088796 posted

Please can someone help me!

I am new to programming, and no matter how many videos and reading I seem to do, with Visual Studio 2017 there is always a problem for me to even try to learn programming, should I use something else?.

So I have started a Website, well can't really call it a Web site thanks to VS, I have written the html part and that works fine, and also written a css code and that works too, until I change a property like border-style could be anything in the css then I get the dreaded ( HTTP Error 403.14 Forbidden ) so to get it to work again I have to go into the html and change any single letter from any part  then it works again.

Just noticed as well, if I close css it will work too, and even if I save all that doesn't help

What on earth am I doing wrong????

Thanks 

Tearful Justin

Hi keynaboutradios,

I have written the html part and that works fine, and also written a css code and that works too, until I change a property like border-style could be anything in the css then I get the dreaded ( HTTP Error 403.14 Forbidden ) so to get it to work again I have to go into the html and change any single letter from any part  then it works again.

CSS styles code is used to format the layout of Web pages, it would not cause "403.14 - Directory listing denied" error. 

To solve "403.14 Forbidden" error, you can try to set default document(s) or enable directory browsing.

Paste following code snippet inside web.config file to enable directory browsing:

<system.webServer>
  <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
</system.webServer>

I would suggest a different approach.

Consider starting with a tutorial that has everything in place: css, html, js, c#, sql

Everything works from the get go, if you make changes and something breaks you have immediate feedback and you can correct things.

Much easier this way, plus you won't get bogged down with learning everything from the ground up.
