CSS CSS Foundations Getting Started with CSS Adding CSS to a Page

Posted by Otto Mejia

In the course Getting Started with CSS, does the Adding CSS index.html file supposed to be empty?

I'm working on the course and I see that in the video, the teacher is able to open the html file with content easily on a new tab in the browser. When I open that same file to follow along, it seems to be empty. No matter what I do in the Sublime Text, it doesn't seem to affect it in any way. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Otto, there are two versions: start and final. Both versions should have code within, so I'd recommend downloading the files again to see if that resolves the issue.

One more thing. I can't seem to enhance the Adding CSS in the browser. I style certain things in the html. Save it. Refresh the browser. Nothing changes. Is there some way to make it work?

I'd recommend starting a new post in the forum while sharing your code.
