Rendering a html page which if fully populated with code and markup....fire up dev server, navigate to route and dang.....page is empty and can't see WTF!!! is wrong

Well, all is fire until you send code.

Oh and devrant tag is for devrant the app. rant tag is for devs' ranting.

Is it pure html, or php? If it's php, likely you have an error in the code. If it's pure html, likely there is nothing at the route - try starting with with a basic <h1> Hi!</h1>, see if you can navigate to it . There are many much more sophisticated ways to go about sorting these kind of problems, which are ultimately a lot faster for experienced devs, but you should probably start with these methods. Also, don't forget to reload the page UNCACHED whenever you are solving problems - Firefox has some extensions that allow you to do this, or you can just keep clearing out your browser History.

@ultrageoff browser history and cache is probably unrelated

@Lensflare haha, it always is.

Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R FTW

@Lensflare, @Melozorus34 Yeah, I know, but OP is looking for a 1.01 on this and blowing Everything in History will clear cache, including js . You have to start somewhere.

@ultrageoff I did try that and wasnt getting anything but got it fixed over the weekend

its actually ginger templating for a flask app

created a layout file where all html files inherit styling from then declared a {% block body %} in it

so had forgotten to declare {% block body %} in this particular html file so anything outside the block body doesn't show

lame error i know but i was under pressure and a bit worn out
