Style is in the <body> tag it needs to be in the <head> tag.

Trebblebob · Sep 9, 2018

Also your site code layout looks a bit weird as well. It should look like this:

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <style></style>
         the user can’t see what’s in here
    </head>
    <body>
         the user can see what’s in here
    </body>
</html>

Please use indentation Tab.

Not entirely true, it doesn't have to necessarily, but it does look neater. I personally like to keep them close to the elements I apply the style to until I find the time to move it over to a CSS or SASS file.

@Mango have you taken a look at this prior to starting out with HTML? It's a great course for learners to learn a lot of elemental information about HTML and CSS.

then just use flexbox. its easier, up to date, and its what the cewl kids do nowadays

CSS:

parent { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; }

considering mango's current skill level debates like these are really fucking useless to this thread, if not always. if it works, it works. Everybody prefers their own way.

This happens because the HTML is invalid, the head tag contents are not visible because they should only consist of tags such as href, title, meta, etc.. If you put regular 'ol text in there most browsers will correct this by moving it to the body, assuming it's an error. Use  tags to place text in your <head> tags as comments.
