CSS

Workspace property not highlighted

I'm trying to apply css to my html code. Here is how I linked to the css in html:

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

Here is what my css looks like:

a { text-decoration: none; }

But my css is not being applied to my html. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Amanda,

Can you show how you linked the HTML page to your CSS style sheet? The CSS above looks correct.

Thanks, Adam

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

Is your main.css in the css folder? Do you have other CSS that is not being applied or just the anchor element selector?

My main.css is in the css folder. The anchor element is my test css to make sure the link is working properly. However, it is not working properly and I'm trying to troubleshoot why. I've tried internal style tags to see if it was something with the file, but the internal tags aren't being applied either. I think it must be something wrong with my syntax, but I'm not sure what.
