3,492 PointsI cannot get downloaded files into Workspace
I cannot get the image files or the css file to upload into Workspace. I have dragged and dropped the files numerous times but nothing happens. I am using Win 7 and have tried using Chrome and Explorer browsers. The images download successfully and appear to drag properly into Workspace but they don't appear after they've been "dropped" into the black "upload files" box. Help?

If you just click the "Launch Workspace" button on the right hand side of the screen, it will launch a Workspace that contains all of the files you need. There is no need to download the project files and then re-upload them to a Workspace.

22,110 PointsAre you dropping them in the darker square toward the bottom of the column? The one that says "Drop files to Upload"? If I drop them anywhere in the lighter part of the column the file doesn't upload. If I drop it in the darker square, it shows up.
Steve Brown
3,492 PointsYes, I've been dragging and dropping into the darkened square at the bottom. I must have tried a hundred times, then I changed the extension from a lower-case .css to upper-case .CSS and it worked. That being said, none of the other files I'm supposed to be dropping into the Workspace program are doing so, images, etc.

15,719 PointsDid you try using File -> Upload as I suggested? Also, are you just trying to follow along with what Nick is doing (and are trying to upload the pics he has in the project files) or are you doing your own project in the Workspace?
Steve Brown
3,492 PointsYes, following along with Nick. It worked when I used File-> Upload. Sometimes the most obvious solution is the hardest one to see. Still not sure why drag and drop wasn't working but all is well for now... Thank you.
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsI have no idea why you are trying to upload the files that are already in the workspace. If you just click the "Launch Workspace" button, all of the files you need are already uploaded into that Workspace.
Steve Brown
3,492 PointsNo, they were never there for me, just the index.html file was there. I could be doing something wrong, but when I "launch workspace" it opens to where I left off, but as I work along with Nick and needed normalize.css or images, etc. I've had to download them by selecting the "download" -> "project files" then get them into Workspace manually.
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsThey are under a folder called "Img" that you have to click to see. Just click on the folder called img and you will see all of the images.

4,481 PointsThe same thing is happening to me. I tried launching work space and followed your instructions. It still does not allow me to download the content needed for this exercise.
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsAll of the files are provided in the Workspace except for normalize.css. All you have to do for normalize.css is to open up "normalize.css" from the Normalize.css website and copy its contents and then paste that into your own created file called "normalize.css".
