Using external .css for html styling

I have an issue that I cannot link my external style.css to my index.html file. Both files are in exact same directory.

My style.css :

<style>
table, th, td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
  padding: 5px;
  text-align: left;    
}
</style>

And I am trying to link it in my html as following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>test</title>
    <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</head>

Full html script:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>test</title>
    <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</head>




<br>

<table id="t1">
<caption>Operation table</caption>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Operation code</th>
            <th>To Do</th>
            <th>Done</th>
            <th>Left</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>abc</td>
            <td>1000</td>
            <td>50</td>
            <td>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>def</td>
            <td>555</td>
            <td>50</td>
            <td id ="number1">  
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p id="demo"></p>
</html>

All the examples that I have looked up online use exact same method.

I have connected to the webserver and turned on developer mode to see if I can see anything. I have managed to spot an error:

Refused to apply style from '192.168.10.173:8080/style.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled

Still looking into why it could be caused

CSS files shouldn't have style tags. Simply remove them and it'll work.

table, th, td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
  padding: 5px;
  text-align: left;    
}

When you want to declare styles inside of an HTML file, then you have to put the CSS between style tags.
