HTMLHelp Forums _ Markup (HTML, XHTML, XML) _ easy html css question

Posted by: Alex G Mar 28 2012, 01:51 PM

Hi I'm starting to play around with html and css as in the near future I would like to make a website.

anyway, what I can't seem to do is make my css code work with html.

this is what i have

<html lang="en">
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="homeaj.css" TYPE="TEXT/CSS" MEDIA=SCREEN>

<head>

</head>
<body> <h1 id="title"> 123456
</h1> </body>
</html>

and the CSS is:

#title { font-style:italic;
}

Can someone please help me and find where I have gone wrong? Because when I preview it, '123456' isn't in italics.

Thank you

The LINK element must be inside the HEAD section. Also check that the file homeaj.css exists in the same directory.

You should always use a http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/basics.html#doctype.
