I am stuck in a very simple task. I drag my new style.css file in css but it is not pasting there.

I am trying to simply drag style.css into CSS file but it is not pasting. how can I do that. is there any other way to put my style.css inside CSS file?

Hi Shirshah,

What operatiing system are you using? Are you on Windows or using a MAC?

Also be sure that you have a working link to the external CSS file like this

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />

So this will look for a CSS file in a folder called "CSS" relative to the location of the HTML file.

Then you can try again and copy and paste the file into the CSS folder. Hopefully this time it will work :)

I am on windows, and I never able to paste or drag a file into another folder. How to do that? Since by simply dragging it doesn't work. For this task to work I change the href location-considering style.css on its own file not inside a folder (css folder)

<link rel= "stylesheet"  type= "text/css" href= "style.css">
