Can not apply css stylesheet

[logician]

I made a css stylesheet. I gave it the name root.css. So far these are the rules I have in it:

p {

width: 80%;

color: red;

}

I then put it in the websiteProject folder on the same level as the index.html page. This is the tag I have on the index.html page to apply the style: <link href="ROOT.CSS" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">. For some reason the style is not applying.

Thanks for any suggestions.

File names are case sensitive - you say your file is called root.css but your link points to ROOT.CSS - not the same thing; your cases have to match.

To be honest about it, I tried matching the file names to make them case sensitive before posting the question. Everything I thought of does not work. I retried it sense your response. Still no success.

By default, Windows and Mac both hide the file extension on known file types, so it's quite possible that your file is named "root.css.txt" and you just don't realize it.

Thank you for the advice on the .txt extention. I tried it and it was successful.
