CSS Basics: Basics Selectors--ID & Class Selectors

The image at the bottom of the code challenge Workspace is what I see when I first click on "ID & Class Selectors" from the track list. I didn't add any CSS code at all. It shouldn't be appearing.

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.

    <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.

As far as I can see, there is not CSS...

You're correct. There is no CSS in the style.css file. I had to do a print screen of the Workspace for this challenge without answering any code challenge questions & send it via e-mail to Team Treehouse's help & the Team Treehouse instructor. I couldn't do a Workspace "snapshot" as the icon doesn't appear in the Workspace window on this code challenge so I could show them the problem. The image I sent them doesn't appear on this Forum post. I couldn't post the screen print on the Forum.

I must wait to hear from the instructor & Team Treehouse help folks.

Thanks for noticing anyway.

There is a CSS, but you may be using a browser with few issues, try chrome. :)

It's not a browser issue. It not a plug-in issue. This problem doesn't appear here on this Forum page. I had to take a Screen Print of the image that appears when I click on the "ID & Class Selectors" to get to this code challenge & e-mail it to the Team Treehouse help desk & the instructor. I couldn't copy the Screen Print here. The image doesn't automatically load with the index.html or the style.css in this code challenge Workspace in order for anyone to see it on the Forum page.

I didn't do any of the code challenge questions, yet. That's why you don't see any CSS on the Workspace.

This pop-up image issue was resolved in the previous lessons, but it has not been resolved on this code challenge. I must wait to hear from the instructor & the help desk for a solution.

Thanks anyway.

Does anyone understand what this cat's asking???

If the issue can't be resolved with the forum space because you can't explain it, with pictures or what ever. Then why post to the forum.?

I followed your link to the challenge and it works fine. I don't get it! :{

Code Oregon students are supposed to post all course problems to the Forum first.

I'm using a Worksource Oregon computer. It's Microsoft Windows 7 Professional with IE 11. It's the same computer I've used for the Web Design course & this Front End Development course. The only other option I have is to use a Multnomah County Library computer which has Windows 7 Enterprise & Firefox.

As I said, the image pops up on the bottom in front of my Workspace when I click on "ID & Class Selectors from my track list to get to this code challenge. I don't do anything else to make it appear. To me, it looks like a blank Adobe Acrobat file. That's the issue. The image doesn't copy when I upload my index.html or style.css files from this code challenge Workspace. It's not a browser or plug-in issue. I had to send a Screen Print of the image to the Team Treehouse help desk & the instructor. I'm still waiting for their response.

The same image popped up during the earlier modules to this code challenge & Team Treehouse fixed it so it doesn't appear on the earlier modules now, so I know it's Team Treehouse issue, & not the computer(s) I'm using.

Thanks anyway.
