Trying to make a background color change to the CSS but when the change is made it is not reflected in the preview window.

Hi Robert,
Can you provide a link to your page?:)

I haven't even made a page yet. I mean all I have is a h1. I have two tabs opened, one for html, and one for .css. I put the <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="robs.css"> into the html file.
I type body {background-color:#3A403A;} then I click save on the css file hoping that it will automagically update in the html preview pane. But no changes are made.

Is the style sheet saved as robs.css?

Can you post your code or attach it as a zip file?

Robert,
Does your html page have this chunk of code in the head section?
<style type="text/css">
<!--

body {
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
a { color:#0000FF; }
a:visited { color:#800080; }
a:hover { color:#008000; }
a:active { color:#FF0000; }
-->
</style>

If it has, the white colour #FFFFFF will override any other colour coming from a style sheet. Since you are using a style sheet, you can delete the styles from the html file.
Ha en riktig god dag!

No my HTML file is style free. I attached both the HTML file and css file to my last reply that said "I put the css file first", but I didn't compress it or zip, just a regular attachment. Maybe it didnt attach right?

It needs to be under 100kb.
