HTML

Solved: I created an html file and it will open in my browser but is not displaying anything?

There was something wrong with my inline styling....

I tried to copy and paste the code but it's not displaying the same. My <!DOCTYPE html> is present and my opening and closing html is there.

Make sure you're formatting the file correctly, with all of the parts intact, like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style> /* include css here */</style>
</head>

<body>
<!-- your page content here -->
</body>
</html>

If the structure is wrong, the file won't be read correctly.

I tried copying and pasting my code with my question but it didn't all display. I do have my DOCTYPE html and opening and closing html as well as body. Paragraph syntax. All of it is there. I'm not sure what else to do?

Check for any typos or unclosed tags - other than that, I'd have to see all the code to be able to check it over.

I fixed it. I deleted some of my inline styling and now it's displaying. Not sure what was wrong with my inline styling.
