Hey there,

the best solution in this case would probably be to just copy the code from normalize.css manually from this page here, create the file manually in your workspace, name it normalize.css and paste it there. I hope that helps! :)

thx :)

but when i copied the code it had a incomplete code but i dont know how to finish it

What do you mean by incomplete code? Please make sure to copy the code from the beginning to the end and note that you have to scroll down to see the whole code. If you have further questions feel free to ask! :)

Ah, yes! Like I mentioned above make sure to copy the code from top to bottom and don't forget to scroll down to see the whole code.

-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; / 2 / -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100% is the part that is red

i just did its dosent work :(

Just out of curiosity... why are you trying to / need to upload Normalize.css into Workspaces?

If Normalize.css is needed for a course, it will be pre-loaded into the Workspace for you.

it wasnt for me i need it for the how to make a website corse i dont have it pre loaded was it spposed to be?

Did you make sure to launch a new workspace with the video instead of using the old workspace (if there was one)?

Yes, it should be inside of the CSS folder that is loaded when you launch the workspace.

Did you launch the workspace using the link under the video?

idk let me check

noi just re launched the workspace on the current video and its still the same

i found an alternative thx for your help

To fix this, drag the file on to your desktop then upload to workspace!
