1,471 PointsIm having trouble getting css to link to HTML
My CSS isn't linking to my HTML properly. I need to know what I'm doing wrong for this to be a problem, or if it's just me.
<doctype html> <html> <head> <title>river photos</title> <link href="/river2.css type=text/css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> <h1> Pictures of trhe river</h1> <h2> These are a few pictures that I took over the river several years ago.</h2> <img src="riversunset.jpg" alt="two bridges over Ohio River" class="main-image"> <h3>More pictures coming soon.</h3> </body> </html> This is the code for the HTML. I just wanted to start small, but then start going and getting bigger ideas. so Even the stylesheet itself is small.
h1 { color: orange; }
.main-image { border: solid black 25px; border-radius: 25%; }

1,471 PointsActually it wasn't any coding error that I had done. I got to looking because I had done some other learning with html, and css in the past, and so I knew that that particular stylesheet was linked up to it's html page. When I went to make some changes in it to see if I could play around with it. I had the same problem. Nothing worked. So I knew then it wasn't my imagination. I restarted the computer, and let it do its updates, and now things work fine. I guess that turning this silly thing off sometimes would help wouldn't it.

<link href="/river2.css type=text/css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- original -->
<link href="/river2.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- fixed -->
Also, be sure you really intended to use an absolute path reference. Perhaps "river2.css" would do, or if the file is in a "css" folder, you might need "css/river2.css".

1,471 PointsI did change that like you said, and for some reason it's still not linking up.
