CSS

normalize.css is not in the downloads folder. Is this a standard CSS file that everyone uses, that I can find online?

I am trying to follow along with the build a website class, but I can't because I don't have this file. I want to start over and do it right, so is there a way I can locate this file online? Also, I really want to know if it is a standard file that is attached to all websites?

It is not attached to all websites, it is up to the developer to include. Since browsers have their own default styles, it is common practice to normalize so that every browser starts off with a "clean slate".

Thank you for your answer and for the link. Is normalize.css always the same code? Or are there several versions of it, depending on what you want to make default?
