Tell us what’s happening:
I followed everything the challenge said and the div element has a silver background, yet it keeps telling me to give the div element a silver background. I created the class in the style block as it said, without typos, applied the class to the div element as it said (without typos), and it is still broken. I tried reloading the page and that doesn’t work either. I also tried other methods of giving the div element a silver background, such as creating a div element class in the style block itself, and that didn’t work. This is very frustrating since I know I did this correctly, but I can’t continue with my lessons because it won’t submit.
