I'm working on HTML & I've tried to change the color & the size of the font, but it won't let me.

I am working on HTML & I've tried to change the color and size of the font. I am following exactly what the teacher says & I've passed the quizzes. So I am not sure if I am doing something wrong? Or if maybe the workspace isn't working right. Has anyone else experienced this?

can you post your code so we can see what's going on.

do you have something like this:

 p {
 font-size: 24px;
color: blue;
}

I found another thread and it was because I was using chrome. I switched to Mozilla and I was able to make it work. Thanks for the response!

That shouldn't happening, all browsers accept font-size, and color values. You should look into this more.

Checking to see that:

  • You've saved the file.
  • You've refresh your browser.
  • Your code haven't got any typos. (check your curly braces, semicolons and other thing)

Hey, sometimes just workspaces don't work properly, I think. I had the same problem. Good solution might be just downloading resources and using your own editor :)
