Hi Casthrademosthene,

look at the <body> </body>, its should be a blank html for you to start the follow along.

This is on the right track.

casthrademosthene: You shouldn't see anything if you click on the preview icon. There's nothing in the body of the webpage.

Thank you, I understand now that this specific workspace had a blank html. Thank you again

We need to see your code. There could be a few possibilities...Are there any console statements? If so, you need to look in the console window for output. What is your index.html file? Are all pictures pointing to the correct path if there are any? Did you try refreshing browser once after doing preview?

I didn't write the code, it came with the workspace. Nick Pettit wrote the code and he's one of the instructors. Here is the link https://w.trhou.se/d03a691g79

I did try refreshing all three of the browser, and still nothing.

Sorry you're having trouble! I clicked on the link to your Workspace snapshot. After it opened, I selected one of the files on the left side, and I was able to see it. Here's a screenshot:

Do you see the file tree on the left side of your Workspace? Are you able to open any of those files? If not, then this could be a bug which I can escalate to the proper team member - I just want to confirm before I do so.

Thanks for your patience with this issue!

I see the codes, but when I click the eye icon to see a preview of it, nothing shows up in the video you mention that we'll be able to remove the css but I wanted to see what it looked like with css design before commenting it out. Nick Pettit
