Stage 3 of Creating HTML Content, External CSS (CSS reset)

The bullet points still display after I've added the link element with attribute "stylesheet" and the relative file path. Did I do something wrong?

To be more clear, I am trying to do the CSS reset. 

<link rel=stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

Hi Shavon,

Are you seeing the bullets point in your navigation or only with the gallery items?

It's normal at this point to still have them with the gallery items.

If you're still seeing them in the navigation then I would post the html you're using to link normalize.css

For both.

<link rel=stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

Sorry, I didn't catch it the first time when you posted that code but you're missing the opening quote around stylesheet

Should be

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

If it's working properly then it'll remove the bullet points from the navigation links and you'll remove the bullet points from the gallery later on in the course.

Hi! Shavon

It depends where ever you apply the styles. Not sure if you have built points on the active links? or just simple list items. try this if these are the active links (with "a href=#" tags)

nav(your class) li a {
     list-style= none;
    text-decoration = none;
}

You can apply the similar properties to the :hover element by referring the a:hover { } tag. Hope this will help! or post your code for reference.

Hi Shavon,
Does the CSS file contains any reference to li with list-style: none;?
Could you attach your code on how you link your html page to your css file?

Best regards,
Henry

@Shavon Bilis you are missing the quotes around rel= attribute. Try the code below:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="normalize.css">
