Courses Plus Student 4,646 PointsProblems with CSS
Hi, I just added a new page to my website the "about" page. I tryed to apply in the css :
.profil-photo { display:block; max-width:150px; margin: 0 auto 30px; border-radius:100%; }
I used a "class" inside the about.html : <img src="img/jonathan.jpg" alt="Photograph of Jonathan Derain"class="profile-photo"> but it's not working!
What did I do wrong?
Many thanks from France,
Jonathan

As a guess it looks as though you could be missing the 'e' from .profile-photo but if it isn't that could you post your HTML too please?
You can see how to format your code within posts here.
EDIT: Can you try adding a space in front of class in your image tags. e.g:
<img src="img/jonathan.jpg" alt="Photograph of Jonathan Derain"class="profile-photo">
becomes:
<img src="img/jonathan.jpg" alt="Photograph of Jonathan Derain" class="profile-photo">
Thanks

Just added an EDIT to my answer above. Might not be the solution but worth trying just in case.

Courses Plus Student 4,646 PointsI tried to apply an other CSS on the text and it's not working. I guess there's a problem with the CSS. It won't apply in my "about html". What can I do to fix it?

It won't display the photo on display:block but will display it on display:inline-block (but it floats it left which doesn't look as nice). I checked the download files in Firefox and Safari and confirmed it there. Then I tested my page and it worked beautifully in safari.
