I've created a website which is running on a local server.
The local host server is up and running, the HTML code is displayed as desired but the browser refused to apply my external CSS styles which I linked to my HTML and the browser keeps telling me in the console:
"refused to apply style from 'http://localhost:3000/styles.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled."
my css,Htmland javascript files are at the same level in the same directory:
const express = require("express");
const app = express()
const request = require("request")
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.get("/", function(req, res){
res.sendFile(__dirname+"/signup.html")
})
app.listen("3000", function(){
console.log("server is up and running on port 3000")
})
