Why Isn't My CSS File Linking to My HTML?

How to link a CSS file from HTML file?

When styling HTML with inline

Why does linking a CSS file not work?

In your HTML code, you have specified the rel attribute of the tag as "Hope this works". This is incorrect. To link to a CSS file, you need to set the rel attribute to "stylesheet".

<link rel="stylesheet" href="newcssstyle.css" type="text/css">

Setting the rel attribute to "stylesheet" distinguishes this link as a stylesheet link rather than, say, an icon image link.

Additional considerations

If the CSS file still doesn't work after setting the rel attribute correctly, check if the CSS file is in the same directory as the referencing HTML file. If it's in a nested folder, use the appropriate relative folder path in the href attribute.

For example, if the directory structure is:

Parent Directory:
    - index.html
    - Stylesheets:
        - newcssstyle.css

Then, in the HTML file, you would reference "newcssstyle.css" as:

href='Stylesheets/newcssstyle.css'

Ensure that the directory structure and file references are correct for your specific setup.
