Hello,

I am a beginner with HTML and I am trying to import a CSS file (or making reference to it from the HTML document)

Is there any reason why I cannot get my HTML document to read the stylesheet when the text in both documents seems 100% correct? (I am working through a book and I have checked everything!!)

frustrating, but I wonder is there anything to do with my browser etc. I have a new laptop with good spec so would be surprised if the CSS file couldn't be recognised.

Regards

John

Your LINK tag is closed with " />" which is the XHTML syntax to close empty elements. But since you use HTML, simply use >.

And then your selectors don't match with the ID's of the elements, since the CSS uses lowercase and the ID's are in uppercase.

Forgot to say, you have three times #chapter1contents declared in the CSS.
Beware that ID must be unique and can only occur once in a page.

Many thanks for the quick reply Frederick.... I have modified errors and all is well!!

You're welcome.
