CSS/SASS(SCSS) will not work on my computer over multiple browsers

These css questions just keep giving me issues. At first switching to chrome worked and solved my issues for 3 .css() functions inside jQuery.

I’m now on Sass and can’t complete anything. I’ve tried using chrome and firefox to no avail. I can see my code working and changing the color of the text (I’ve tested blue, purple, red, etc.)

I looked at the answer code and it was almost exactly the same as mine (they have " style type=‘text/sass’ " instead of ‘text/scss’ for mine. I tried using this and all my styling went away (assuming that’s a legacy answer).

I also tried separating my working .blog-post, h2 { . . . } to be:
.blog-post { . . . }
.h2 { . . . }

to see if it was not reading them for some grouping issue, did not work.

I have reloaded my pages on both browsers, reset my code…many times.

The only thing I haven’t tried was using a different computer, because I don’t have access to one at the moment.

I really want to learn this stuff but if every question I have goes like this I may just move on to the react part of the course -_-;

Any help would be greatly appreciated =]

Your code so far


<style type='text/scss'>

$text-color: red;

.header{
  text-align: center;
}
.blog-post, h2 {
  color: $text-color;
}
</style>

<h1 class="header">Learn Sass</h1>
<div class="blog-post">
<h2>Some random title</h2>
<p>This is a paragraph with some random text in it</p>
</div>
<div class="blog-post">
<h2>Header #2</h2>
<p>Here is some more random text.</p>
</div>
<div class="blog-post">
<h2>Here is another header</h2>
<p>Even more random text within a paragraph</p>
</div>

have you tried with deactivating your browser extensions?

issues with colours can often be connected to a dark mode extension

I forgot to try this 1 thing, because it didn’t fix or affect my other css issues. -_-;

Now I know to not overlook any single thing lol, THANK YOU!

This was really beginning to frustrate me.

Sidenote: do you know why a dark reader would affect this? shouldn’t the dark reader be on the backend for my viewing only and not affect the code that is being sent into FCC?

the tests are done on the client side, the extension changes the css of the page, the tests read that css, see wrong values and fail

maybe you are using dark mode extension that may be the cause of it.remove it and check agai.ur code is correct

I see, thanks for the simple explanation!

This is however, making me wonder if there is a better way to do these kinds of readers/extensions or the code pen app to where it can bypass these extensions (or at the very least compensate for them). Maybe make a special container that other apps etc. will ignore or something.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This was my issue as another user pointed out to me earlier =]

I resolved the issue almost immediately thanks to her!

Happy coding =]

be happy and enjoy coding bro
