Into your text editor and save as normalize.css
Floyd Orr
11,723 PointsYou can also go to http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/
Konrad Pilch
2,435 PointsThats the same thing : p
William Patterson
230 Pointswell i guess i am just stupid. what is text editor so i can save it under normalize.css second, i download the link you provided and nothing is there
no wonder no one wants to learn this stuff
Konrad Pilch
2,435 PointsEveryone wants to learn it . Why dont you use the code i provided for you?
texteditor = the palce where you write your code. save it as 'normalize.css' .
If you dont like to learn it, then i dont think this will be for you because it takes far more to learn this. You might only want to do layouts but in programming, you might now wanting to go there. Depends. Have a try :)
Happy coding!
William Patterson
230 Pointsguess i will wait till i can get a head start version. thanks anyways
Floyd Orr
11,723 Pointstry putting this code in the head of your webpage if the other ways are hard for you . <link rel="stylesheet" src="//normalize-css.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/normalize.css" />
