Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
In the example, color1 is solid at the top, color2 is solid at the bottom, and in between it transitions evenly from one to the next. In .bb1a , add a gradient of type linear-gradient to the background property with --building-color1 as the first color and --window-color1 as the second

Challenge: Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 40

Link to the challenge:

Hello there.

Please Tell us what’s happening in your own words.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.

3

When you click on Submit, what is the error that you are receiving with this step?

4

You should apply a background to .bb1a

5

check it now i edited it

6

Are you sure that you have used the proper syntax for the background?


Hint: Remember that you are using a css variable as the color

7

i am doing it with css variable and still with same error
any help please

8

Is this how you use css variables?

How have you used the css variables elsewhere in your code?

9

background:linear-gradient var((–building-color1, --window-color1));
like that

10

You have to use the var(..) individually for the css variables.

Instead, you have used the same var(...) for both the css variables.
