Any changes made in CSS style-sheet is not reflected when I preview.

Hi, I have tried making simple changes to the style-sheet but when I press preview the web page is not updating. I can make changes to the HTML document and it works. For every video I have watched so far the style-sheet doesn't work. The style-sheet is linked to the HTML document by default so i'm sure it's not a coding problem.

For example:

the default code was:

/* Background Color */

html { background:#3D475F; }

I simply changed the color to: /* Background Color */ html {

background:#E6E6E6;

None of the changes work. Please help!

Hello Jabedul,

If you are using work space try and refresh the web page (save your code first!). If this still does not work copy all your code and place it into another work space or a different text editor.

Hope this helps.

It is case sensitive. In CSS:

body{
  background-color: #e6e6e6
}
