Post a code snippet of the code you are using to center the text

AndyWhitley commented 7 years ago

and a code snippet of the code in your .erb file for the view with the text and video

malrese1 commented 7 years ago

h2{ font-family: cursive; color: red; text-align: center; }

and are you getting a rails error message or just the page doesn't look right?

malrese1 commented 7 years ago

just the page is not right

AndyWhitley commented 7 years ago

could you paste all of your .html.erb file here that the video and text is on

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

Not sure if this is the problem, but you cannot comment out code using in .erb files. You have to put a # on each line you want commented out. (I would recommend not commenting out code in your .erb files). Try removing that commented out line and see if that fixes it.

Also, I don't see the text you are trying to center here in your .erb file (as in the h2 element you reference in your .css file).

for example <%# erb comment %>
