Tell us what’s happening:

The Code is perfect, please fix the lesson as there must be a mistake.

  **Your code so far**


<style>
div {
  width: 70%;
  height: 100px;
  margin: 50px auto;
}
#top {
  background-color: red;
  transform: skewy(-10deg);
}
#bottom {
  background-color: blue;
  transform: skewX(24deg);
}
</style>

<div id="top"></div>
<div id="bottom"></div>

You have a typo in this line which is causing your tests to fail.

I don’t understand. Where is this typo?

transform: skewy(-10deg);

Sorry, but at this point the video, the hints and everything else points to my code being right. tried it ten times and its a bit frustrating.

Look very closely at the skew**X** function used in #bottom. Now compare that to your skew**y** function. Asterisks added for emphasis.

Note: Most programming languages are case sensitive.

I believe that technically, CSS property names aren’t case sensitive, so you could use either:

transform: skewY(-10deg);

or

TRANSFORM: skewY(-10deg);

But skewY isn’t a CSS property, it’s a CSS function and those are case sensitive.

P.S. In the “real world” nobody uses uppercase for CSS property names and you would probably get looked at weird if you did :slight_smile:

Thought maybe id gone insane. its probably obvious to you im still in the beginning stages of these lessons but either way, Thanks again BBsmooth.
