I can't get less.js to work and I have no idea why. Heres the HTML i tried:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet/less" href="main.less" />
<!-- Javascript -->
<!-- <script src="http://lesscss.googlecode.com/files/less-1.0.18.min.js"></script> -->
<script src="less-1.0.18.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Lorum ipsum
</p>
</body>
</html>
And heres main.less:
p {
color: blue;
}
The less-1.0.18.min.js file is downloaded from http://lesscss.googlecode.com/files/less-1.0.18.min.js. All files is in the same folder. I have no idea why this isn't working...
Tested in Chrome 12.0.742.100
Edit
Tried the lates less.js file (less-1.1.3.min.js). That one did also not work.
Okay now...
This works:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/less" href="main.less" />
But only as normal css, no less specific markup.
This doesn't work at all:
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/less" href="main.less" />
Also, this isn't working:
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="main.less" />
What the hell? How do I get less to work?
Found the error
P.S.S. Less.js browser script currently won’t work if you’re using Chrome and the path to your page starts with “file:///” due to a known Chrome issue.

The client-side compiler less. js can be downloaded from http://lesscss.org/. You can use less. js in the browser, which is a great tool to get you started with Less, although it should only be used for development.
Using Less. js in the browser is the easiest way to get started and convenient for developing with Less, but in production, when performance and reliability is important, we recommend pre-compiling using Node.
Less (which stands for Leaner Style Sheets) is a backwards-compatible language extension for CSS. This is the official documentation for Less, the language and Less. js, the JavaScript tool that converts your Less styles to CSS styles. Because Less looks just like CSS, learning it is a breeze.
Using JavaScriptless extension and link it in your document using the rel="stylesheet/less" attribute. You are all set and can compose styles within the . less . The LESS syntax will be compiled on the fly as the page loads.
P.S.S. Less.js browser script currently won’t work if you’re using Chrome and the path to your page starts with “file:///” due to a known Chrome issue.
But what we could do is setting up a local testing environment using wamp (pc) or mamap (mac). It will work alright then.

You can use the command-line switch -allow-file-access-from-files when starting chrome - it will permit less.js to access local less files.
