Getting Data In

Why can't I add a stylesheet and script to my simple xml dashboard?

I have a simple XML dashboard that is calling two stylesheets and two scripts:

<form stylesheet="styleA.css, styleB.css" script="scriptA.js, scriptB.js">...</form>

styleA.css and scriptA.js are loading properly, but I'm getting these errors for styleB.css and scriptB.js:

Refused to apply style from {styleB.css url} because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.

GET {scriptB.js url} 404 (Not Found)

All of these files are located in the appserver/static directory of the app. There are no weird characters that I see in them. I've tried restarting Splunk, as well as splunkweb, doing a _bump after each.

Any tips?

Verify that you are correctly referencing your files. I've seen this problem when not correctly referencing the file location.

My dashboard source had this incorrect reference to a custom style sheet. (receiving MIME incorrect type error)

<dashboard stylesheet="custom_styles.css">

My style sheet actually existed under the directory '/splunk/etc/apps/myapp/appserver/static/styles'

So after updating the dashboard style sheet reference the correct file location all was well.

<dashboard stylesheet="styles/custom_styles.css">
