Link to the challenge:
https://learn.freecodecamp.org/responsive-web-design/basic-css/change-the-color-of-text
The challenge tells you how to change the h2 element’s color to blue:
<h2 style="color: blue;">CatPhotoApp</h2>
Adding a style attribute like this style="color: blue;"
is how you change the color of an element.
Now, what do you think you need to do to make it red?
this is not what i want, i need
on it’s on to turn red, not adding red to it’s element
I’m not sure I understand. Are you looking for the solution to the challenge you provided the link to?
https://learn.freecodecamp.org/responsive-web-design/basic-css/change-the-color-of-text
Because that is what I’ve provided.
yes, but really i did what you asked. i still can’t bypass
You are doing more than the test asks. You created a new H2 and made it red. Clear your code and start over. Don’t add new things, only change existing code.
Hey there! I’ve literally just done this one (yay!)
It’s a bit confusing, but basically see it as telling the rest of the page to recognise what “.red-text” is.
You do this by telling the very top bit (in the <style> ... </style>
section) what it has to do when you type “red-text” further down. See the section as a dictionary in this case.
your code should be this
/* this h2 element is what you care about*/
<h2 style="color:red;">CatPhotoApp</h2>
