Why isn't my browser responding to my code? Note: It's not a reload problem

Hey,

I feel as thought I have input the correct text in my index.html and my main.css files in order for my browser to respond to and reflect the CSS code I have implemented - but it still seems to not work.

Can anyone identify the issue in my code?

Thanks -

<link rel="stylesheet" href-"css/main.css">

Is it because you have an '-' sign instead of an '=' sign after href?

Yes that fixed it.

Haha that was easy enough.

Thanks Jon
