Typekit Tisa Web Pro in CSS course not working

Hi,

Am I right in thinking that in order to use the javascript code for embedding webfonts from Adobe Typekit, that you need to specify a web server address and not be able to test locally on your machine? I've tried to work along side Guil's 'Web fonts' video near the end by adding the js code in the html and then calling the font in the title class of the style sheet and it doesn't work. Not even when I load the finished index.html in the 'final' folder of the project files.

Thanks! Si

Depending on the kind of code you are using, this could have happened:

jQuery (and some javascript, along with PHP and lot of others) are not recognized by the browser if they are set from a local machine (ergo your PC\MAC). To solve this you just need to turn your PC into a server (I use EasyPHP, but you can also use WAMP, XAMPP and many others). This way it should work.

Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for the reply. I haven't got to the stage of learning how to make the PC into the server. Just following through the course at the minute. It just means that that particular video, in a practical 'follow along' way is pointless. I'm sure I'll get around to using Typekit properly later. I just wanted to check that it wasn't a glitch.

Thanks again.
