Code Blind Question
I have a class defined with font size = 9px. The class also centers text. When I code the class into my HTML, there is no effect. My text inherits its size from the class above it.
I've looked at it so long I've gone code blind. A screenshot showing the text as displayed is attached with a fuschia rectangle around the code that is supposed to be font size = 9px.
The CSS file (clan.css) is properly linked in the HTML cod, I think. I have changed other CSS statements and seen the effects on the browser screen.
If anyone can spot what I've gone blind to, I'd very much appreciate your telling me what I'm missing. Rub my nose in it, please.
Selector Question
You can see that I used <div> selectors to apply formatting to various parts of my HTML. Is there a more appropriate selector that I should have used?
