Hi you can find it at the bottom of the exercise, otherwise I have included it below

```auto
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

Do you also have the CSS? For some reason I cannot find any link to any part of his solution.

Any help with where to find solutions would also be greatly appreciated, as I’m sure I’ll want to see his solutions for later exercises as well.

Thanks!

You can download the solutions from the ‘Layout Exercise.zip’ at the bottom of the window highlighted below. There are three scroll bars on the right, the middle one will take you to the bottom of the window. You will need to download that file and unzip it to a location on your machine to see the files. Let me know if you need help doing that

Hi @lucidlear

Thanks for your help last year. I stopped working on this stuff before I had a chance to say thank you. I’m back to working through this course and I appreciate your help from earlier. Very kind!

Any idea why the HTML solutions files are not displayed as code for me, but instead as what you would see in a browser if the browser read the code? (I hope that makes sense). I am not able to see the actual code for some reason, even if I open the document with a text edit or similar program.

Hope you’re well. Thanks!

Mike

Hi, no probs. Not sure why the browser is doing that, try maybe updating or use another browser to see if the problem is still there.
