Class 2 - In Class Assignment 1 Troubleshooting

This assignment, although was easy, taught me a very important lesson...

I actually had the right codes within 5-10 minutes of the assignment, but it ended up taking me over an hour to complete it.

What happened was that I had created a new subfolder under my "jackielee" => "class2" folder called "assignments". This is where I had saved my in_class_assignment1.html

Therefore, although everything was coded properly, and

(link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/in_class_assignment1.css"0

was correct, it was searching within the "assignment" folder for these links.

The result: no css style was appearing within my html page.


Discouraged that I had actually coded improperly due to the lack of any styles, I proceeded to revise my codes over and over until I finally realized my very slight, yet most impactful error of my assignment: By removing the in_class_assignment1.html file from my subfolder "assignment" back into the "class2" folder we all created, my page ran perfectly.

Lesson learned...
