Help with 5/26- CSS an overview

I’m having some trouble with excercise 5/26. Below is the code I inserted and I’m not having much luck with it. Could someone explain to me what the proper code is and why?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet.css" 
    href="http://www.codecademy.com/courses/web-beginner-en-TlhFi/0/5"/>
        <title>Result</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>I want to be SIZE 44 font!</p>
    </body>
</html>

This line should point to the stylesheet.css tab

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>

You got me. What don’t you understand?

tells the browser to request this resource. type is the MIME type of the file to expect. It's text based and follows the CSS recommendation. rel describes the relation this resource has to the root document. It's a style sheet. href is the hook reference of the resource, its URI or URL. 'stylesheet.css'. That about covers it.

Hm..

<link type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet” href=”stylesheet.css”**<**/>

The < after “Stylesheet.css” is unnecessary.. ?

No. That would be a typo. Browsers are pretty forgiving, and may ignore it, but it’s still errant syntax.

If you’re getting a strange number for the font size (like 44.6363), try resetting your zoom with Ctrl-0 or Cmd-0.

This was what I was looking for, too. The hints tab tells you to enter in stylesheet.css as your href, but I want to know if that is what you always put in there, or if this is a special case because it’s a tab on the same page?

That is the normal way to import an external style sheet. The tab is part of the editor environment. The file itself is in the same directory as the index.html file. The key is to be sure the href path points the CSS file.
