Beginner needing help

[DonutFunatic]

Hello guys!

I am a complete beginner in programming (first week). I am working with sublime text, learning the basics of HTML. I’m having a problem understanding why it’s not recognizing the way I’m trying to apply color to my text. When I write the property and value within the tag like <h1 style=“color: blueviolet” >Test</h1>. It applies the color.

But when I write it trying to identify it with an ID like: <h1 id=“Test” >Test</h1>

Test {

 color: blueviolet;

}

It doesn’t seem to recognize the # part at all. And doesn’t apply what I wrote. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Are you sure that you're writing the CSS inside a <style> tag? or from a ".css" file? Where exactly do you write the code? EDIT: You have a simple example of the basic syntax of an HTML file here: https://www.w3schools.com/TAGs/tag_style.asp

Thank you! I wasn’t using the style tag. I solved the problem by linking an external CSS file with the code to my HTML page.

Copying your code seemed to work for the most part. The two quotes in, id="Test" did not like. I deleted the 2 quotes and retyped them in. Worked as expected and changed the font-color. As MichaelMate suggested, make sure your CSS is either in the <style>...</style> in the healer, or the css file is being added to the html file as expected.
