Question about html and css

[AxelPAx]

Hi,

 

When I try to recreate this header in a text editor: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_responsive_header.asp

It only works when I paste the css in the index.html (<style><style/>) But when I try to paste the css in a style.css file it does not work. Can anyone explain to me why this is?

Regards,

It works fine for me, but I suspect you may have tried it a few times and the likely problem is as follows:

css files are cached by your browser, so when you update it, the browser carries on using it's out-of-date copy.

You have to go into your browser toolbox and find the option to clear the cache then when you reload it will get the new version, but keep in mind it will carry on using that until you clear the cache again!

You are not! pasting the style tags in to css file as well, are you? The css file does not require them. Its been done before so I thought I'd ask.
