Cant use url to give background to the body

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:
The tutorial is telling me to add a background property using the given url. I have tried both copying and typing the url but every time I try to run the test, it says the following : “Your body element should have a background property set to a url() with the given link.”

Can anyone please help what is wrong here with my code?

Your code so far


<style>
  body {
    background: url(https://i.imgur.com/MJAkxbh.png)
  }
</style>

A css url() call expects a string argument. You have not given it a string.

@femtopy2k, if you’re having a problem with one of the lessons please use the Get Help button in the lesson. That will create a new thread in the correct forum and also provide a copy of your code so that we can give you help. Without that, we can only guess as to what your problem may be.
