Why does the universal selector show two elements when a border is applied in an empty html file? (CSS) -
i'm doing web fundamentals course of study @ code academy , noticed strange.
if have html file so:
<!doctype html> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>    and css file so:
* {   border: 2px dashed black; }    i see 2 elements outlined. seems border of browser window, , smaller box within it. 2 boxes? there no elements in html file beingness outlined?
at first thought outline <html> , <body> elements, tried removing <body>, tried removing <head>, , removed <html> still there 2 boxes.
thanks!
edit: did seek searching, recommended, not find previous answer. quite hard find reply specific question, thanks.
the start , end tags html , body elements optional.
you deleted tags, not elements. can see looking @ document in dom inspector (such can find in browser developer tools).
(the same applies head, display: none default).
 html css
