14,227 PointsI'm at my wit's end with trying to link my HTML to my CSS. Please help
I've tried everything to no avail. Below is my code and file path to both files:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
HTML file path: Users/JohnUmbarilaMAC/Downloads/selectors/type-selectors/start/index.html
CSS file path: Users/JohnUmbarilaMAC/Downloads/selectors/type-selectors/start/css/style.css
Thank you,
John

14,227 PointsHi Steve,
Sorry, the code was appearing differently once I hit the "post comment" button so I deleted the comment. I'll try again. The rest of my code can be seen below:
<head>
<title>CSS Selectors</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
</head>
For some reason the head tag won't show but the opening head tag is before my title tag and my closing head tag is after the link tag. Thanks

57,712 PointsHi John,
Where is your code? Have you put it in the head element of the html file?

You pointed me in the right direction! After asking about my CSS file, I noticed I was missing a semi colon in my CSS. Problem solved! Thank you, I appreciate your help!!!
Best Regards,

13,025 Pointsyou need also to write type="text/css"... so your code should be on the head of your html file like this
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
</head>

57,712 PointsHi John,
I got an email saying you had left a comment containing your HTML code for this but the web page doesn't seem to show me that. Odd!
Happy to help if you post it again.
Steve.
