Please Help A Beginner, CSS Not Working. by Nobody: 5:53pm On Oct 13, 2021
I just started learning website development online, I have been trying to Embed my HTML with CSS, but it seems not to work at all. Like my browsers are not seeing it .

At first , I tried adding images but it won’t load, I have tried all including optimization, nothing seems to work, so I had to leave that.

I tried to use a downloaded background to no avail

So I started CSS, it didn’t even work at all.

The code i used is

<!Doctype html >
<html >
<html Lang=“en”>
<meta charset=“utf-8”>
<title>The Big Black Jack</title>
<style type =“text/css”>
h2 {
color: purple;
}
</style>
</head>


Please help a sister out. Thank you

Write out the complete code so that we can figure out the error and not just the CSS.l mean let see the body of ur HTML and I can't find your opening head tag.

yes but I am not with my phone now, can you help me here
Re: Please Help A Beginner, CSS Not Working. by Nobody: 8:04pm On Oct 13, 2021
Posting a screenshot of your code would help get you optimum help.
I noticed there’s no opening head tag.
We can’t do much if we can’t see the full code.

The "type" attribute in the <style> tag is not required in modern web documents, and linking to an external stylesheet using the <link> tag is preferred.

Re: Please Help A Beginner, CSS Not Working. by olukunle50: 7:07am On Oct 14, 2021
Paste the whole code
Re: Please Help A Beginner, CSS Not Working. by olukunle50: 7:10am On Oct 14, 2021
You didn't specify h2 tag in your body

<body>
<h2>
CONTENT CONTENT
<h2/>
</body>

note: all h2 tags will have purple colour with that.
Re: Please Help A Beginner, CSS Not Working. by akus6060(m): 7:41am On Oct 14, 2021
It would have been better if u could screenshot the code for us to decipher the error and since u are styling your h2, u are supposed to have h2 in the body of your html .Also have u tried adding an opening head tag for your styling? Because I can only see closing head tag.

Is that the whole code? Where is the h2 you want to apply the style to?
Re: Please Help A Beginner, CSS Not Working. by Frontend: 3:24pm On Oct 15, 2021
Why are you styling inside your html,just create another file name it index.css remember to place the css link before the head tag

Boss, try and know how to you use external styling method to link your CSS, JavaScript codes to your html codes using different sheet...it will help you at the long run. Especially JavaScript, when creating game apps you can have up to 5 different sheets for java serving different purposes all linked to your html code... continue watching videos, go to nairaland, Google and go through their source codes and also use Google search to solve problems when you are stucked.

That’s how beginners always start. The tutorial he’s following probably started with inline css, then css inside HTML, and eventually external stylesheets.
