CSS Let's Practice Selectors!

help! i accidentally selected the selectors.css for this exercise, and winzip isn't opening files for me.

i accidently deleted the ccs for this exercise... i closed the workspace without saving it... but it didn't come back.

can i get a copy/paste of the file in a response? my winzip expired, and i can't afford to register unlit my next payday...

i meant that i DELETED the file...

Hey Amy,

On Windows you don't need WinZip to extract the files. If you double click on the file you should see a built-in "extract all" option in the toolbar at the top of the file explorer. If this option doesn't show up you may need to uninstall WinZip or change your default file type settings as WinZip could be changing the default options Windows provides.

You could also replace WinZip with a free, open source tool like 7zip.

Alternatively, you can reset your workspace by deleting it in the workspaces area next to your profile. When you open up a new one it should have all the original files back in place but won't keep any of your edits.

Here's the file contents you're after for convenience, but do consider what I said above -- you don't need to be giving WinZip any money :)
