CSS Animation Issue

HTML-CSS

I can’t figure out what’s wrong with this animation, it’s just not working when I open the file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Bee Project</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./messageStylesheet.css">

<body>
    <main>
        <div class="bee">
            <div class="bee-head">
                <!--<div class="bee-antenna left"></div>
                <div class="bee-antenna right"></div>-->
            </div>
            <div class="bee-wing top"></div>
            <div class="bee-wing bottom"></div>
        </div>
    </main>
</body>

What is happening? What is supposed to be happening? What debugging have you tried?

4

When the file opens nothing happens, It should rotate the wings 45 degrees. I’ve tried rewriting the @keyframes rule and rewriting the animation call.

5

I also validated it with https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator and it found no errors

6

You’ve double checked filenames and relative paths?

7

Everything else is working as intended except the animation

8

I don’t know if it helps, but the animation appears to work for me when I paste it into CodePen:

That did help, thank you!
I needed to update Chrome lol
