2,047 PointsCSS file not being applied to Portfolio page
When I open the preview and refresh the "Profile" page everything is fine, but after I open the "About" page and then click back on the "Portfolio" page it seems to display it without any of the "main.css" file's parameters being applied to it. I can't see any obvious problems in the CSS file or the index file, is it something to do with the browser?

2,916 PointsTry adding type="text/css" to your linked stylesheets.
Are your html files index, about & contact in the same folder?
Matthew Gerrie
2,047 PointsThank you, I'll try that.
Yes, the three html files are in the same folder.
I think I'll try re-installing my browsers too, hopefully that will fix any unexpected bugs.

2,047 PointsThe problem with the portfolio page has now fixed itself, but now I'm finding parts of the CSS file is now being missed out on the contact page.
I've tried re-installing the browsers and the problem is appearing on both chrome and internet explorer.
The code all seems to be there and I can't see any broken links, I've tried adding the type="text/css" to both stylesheets, individually and together but the problem still persists.
