I have search for an answer to my question but did not find anything. So here is what I have. I have created a style sheet and when it is embedded on the page it works fine. But when I try the external link it does not work. I saved it in a folder title css with a name of basic.css. This is a sub-folder of the main folder that it web page is in. This is what I placed within the heading tags of the web page <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/basic.css" />

Where is your style sheet compared to the page your trying to link from?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I had it in a sub-folder of the of the main folder that the page is in. I also tried it with it placed in the main folder. I have not published or uploaded and files yet, as I am still playing around with style sheets. As of now the path to the folder is C:....Projects/Test/css

What's the path to the page your linking from?
Also dbl check the spelling of your css style sheet name to make sure there's no upper case or spaces.

Sorry I was not finished. Inside the Test folder is a sub-folder title css. that is where the style sheet is. The test page is in the folder titled Test. As I mentioned I also had the style sheet in the Test folder and changed by link to read ,<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="basic.css" />

Try this.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/basic.css" />

Still nothing. Here is what my style sheet looks like:

<!-- Style Sheet created with the CoffeeCup StyleSheet Maker -->
<!-- http://www.coffeecup.com -->
<style type="text/css">
<!--
BODY { background: #CCFFFF; font-family: Arial, Courier New, Sans-serif; font-weight: 600; font-style: normal;
text-indent: 10px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; }
H1 { color: #0000FF; font-family: Georgia; }
H2 { color: #FF0000; font-family: Georgia; }
#content { background: #993366; }
.p { margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-width: 80%; }
-->
</style>

Thanks for your help, but still nothing. I am sure it is something in my coding and path. I look at it again in the morning.
