Please Help A Beginner. CSS Not Working. by Nobody: 6:07pm 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

state exactly what you want to archive. as per my view the code above is correct.

just call the h2 where you want the effect change.

You didn't Add h2 in the html code as such nothing is going to happen.
This can only be achieve when you define your h2 tag in the html code.
E.g <h2>turn this tag to purple</h2>
Hence you can now call your h2 tag from css to turn it to purple.

Summary if you don't define your tags in html , your css functions will never work

Create a new folder , add your html file and save it as index.html , now create a new separate css code and save My site.css and save it in the same folder. That should work

your code is not correct.

missing <head> tag

Also you should define what you want to archive. text color or background color?
