Can anyone help me with this. It is driving me crazy lol.
Ive done code for HTML and CSS. When I incode CSS on the same page as HTML its fine when refreshing browser. Now when I put the CSS in a different file and link it to the HTML file it all goes wrong. Can you look on these and tell me what is wrong please.
CSS FILE <style> ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden; background-color: #FF8C00; }
li { float: right; }
li a { display: block; color: white; text-align: center; padding: 14px 16px; text-decoration: none; }
li a:hover { background-color: #111; } </style>
HTML FILE <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<body>
<ul> <li><a class=“active” href=“#home”>Home</a></li> <li><a href=“#news”>News</a></li> <li><a href=“#contact”>Contact</a></li> <li><a href=“#about”>About</a></li> </ul>
</body> </html>

Hope this helps,

did you leave the <style>-Tags in the separate css-file? You should have them removed when using a separate file.

6,985 PointsThanks something changed but still not working. Ive placed the HTML and CSS Files in a folder, which I named 'My Website'.
The CSS file is named 'styles.css and HTML file name 'index.html'.
The ref link in HTML file: <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
