HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:

No matter what I put in the styles.css, none of the checkboxes get checked. I think this lab is bugged? Can anyone help. My first 7 steps are checked, which is the HTML portion. I’m following these instructions to a tee:

  1. You should build a webpage that displays at least three playing cards.
  2. You should have a main element with an ID of playing-cards.
  3. Within your #playing-cards element, you should have at least three div elements, each with a class of card.
  4. Within each .card element, you should have three div elements, the first with a class of left, the second with a class of middle, and the third with a class of right.
  5. Your #playing-cards element should use flexbox to horizontally center its children, allow them to wrap, and put a 20px space between them.
  6. Each of your .card elements should use flexbox to justify its children using space-between.
  7. Each of your .left elements should use flexbox item properties to align itself at the start of its’ parent container.
  8. Each of your .middle elements should use flexbox item properties to align itself in the center of its’ parent container.
  9. Each of your .right elements should use flexbox item properties to align itself at the end of its parent container.
  10. Each of your .middle elements should use flexbox to display its children in a column.
    1. You should have a main element with an id of playing-cards.

  • Passed:2. You should have at least three div elements with a class of card within your #playing-cards element.

  • Passed:3. Each of your .card elements should have a width and height.

  • Passed:4. Each of your .card elements should have exactly three div elements as children.

    1. You should have a #playing-cards selector that sets its elements’ display to flex.

  • Failed:9. You should have a #playing-cards selector that sets its elements’ justify-content to center.

  • Failed:10. You should have a #playing-cards selector that sets its elements’ flex-wrap to wrap.

  • Failed:11. You should have a #playing-cards selector that sets its elements’ gap to 20px.

  • Failed:12. You should have a .card selector that sets its elements’ display to flex.

  • Failed:13. You should have a .card selector that sets its elements’ justify-content to space-between.

Looks like your CSS isn’t even linked to your HTML. Now that I’ve mentioned it, I’m sure you can figure out what you’re missing lol. Your page looks pretty otherwise.

I had that linked in the actual code, but my cut and paste sorta screwed up.

Hi @gregory.teng

The syntax highlighting is showing there is a syntax error.
The other element start with an orange tag, have blue for the attribute property, and a light green for the attribute property value.

Your link element is completely white, so start debugging there.

I edited your post directly above so the code correctly formats on the forum.

Happy coding

<link=“styles.css” rel=“stylesheet”> is the wrong syntax.
There is no = after link, correct the syntax and it would work. Hope this helps
