Basic Selectors: ID & Class Selectors Quiz

I'm getting an Adobe Acrobat file at the bottom of my quiz page without starting the quiz. It says: "Do you want to open or save style.css (50 bytes) from preview.treehouse-challenges.com?" Is this another server issue?

I couldn't do a screen print & post it here.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header>
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
    </p>
    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
      <p>
        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

    </div>
  </body>

It is very difficult to tell. I suggest that you try to access this from a different browser. Do you get the same behavior?

It doesn't matter if I use Internet Explorer 11 or Google Chrome. I get the same result. It did the same thing in the lessons from CSS Basics: Inline & Internal Styles up to & including the Basic Selectors: ID & Class Selectors code challenge. It was a Team Treehouse server problem, according to Dave McFarland, & I did inform him of this issue on this code challenge to see if their server is still doing this. They corrected the problem in the previous lessons, but not this quiz. Adobe Acrobat isn't supposed to appear at all. I'm not doing anything to cause it to pop up.

It isn't an Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox browser issue. It isn't a plug-in issue. The tech person at Worksource Oregon SE disabled the plug-ins on the computer I'm using & the Adobe Acrobat problem still exists. It's a Team Treehouse coding problem. The Adobe Acrobat "file" is orange, turns lighter orange, then white.
