I don't know what error is this it is flask and with url_for function

Question

my dir looks like this

/static
    /styles
        - login.css

my python code is

@app.route("/login")
def login():
    return render_template("login.html")

and my HTML is

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for("static", filename = "\styles\login.css" ) }} " >

when my CSS was not rendering I checked page source code and it's like this

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/styles%5Clogin.css " >

what should I do to contact NASA?

Answer 1

The input of the css file should be: <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename = 'styles/login.css' ) }} " >

The problem ist that with the double quotation marks before static you closed the ones right after href

In one of my projects I have a structure like:

/static
    /css
        - base.css
        - home.css

and I import base.css with the following code:

 <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      type="text/css"
      href="{{url_for('static', filename='css/base.css')}}"
    />
