Frontend Development Lessons: My app looks nothing like the one in the video?

Hey all,

My current app looks nothing like the video example. I have been doing all the steps and even rechecked them. I saved the necessary bootstrap files in their proper places. Here is my html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Treebook</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
        <div class="navbar-inner">
            <div class="container">
    <div class="container"
    <a href="#" class="brand"> Treebook</a>
    <ul class="nav">
        <li><%= link_to "All Statuses", statuses_path %></li>
    </div>
        </div>
            </div>
        <%= yield %>
        </div>
</body>
</html>
</li>

Here is a screen shot of what my ruby project currently looks like: http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p584/Natal22/ScreenShot2013-03-25at115947PM_zps10f4d0d2.png

If you are familiar with the frontend developer lesson chapter you will know how this app doesn't look anything like the example in the video.

My navbar should look something like this http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#navbar

I don't even see it even though I put the code in for it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey Scott,

It looks like the bootstrap css might not be loaded. Are you referencing it in your application stylesheet?

Hey Jason,

Sorry for not posting sooner. I did actually reference it in my stylesheet. I am not sure what the problem was. I scrapped the whole thing and restarted, so far it is working/looking fine!

Thanks for following up Jason.
