CSS Grid Exercise: Divide the Grid Into an Area Template

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello,

The exercise says :slight_smile:
" container class should have a grid-template-areas property similar to the preview but has . instead of the advert area."

But my code doesn’t work. Why?

Regards,

Your code so far


<style>
  .item1{background:LightSkyBlue;}
  .item2{background:LightSalmon;}
  .item3{background:PaleTurquoise;}
  .item4{background:LightPink;}
  .item5{background:PaleGreen;}
  
  .container {
    font-size: 40px;
    min-height: 300px;
    width: 100%;
    background: LightGray;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-gap: 10px;
    /* change code below this line */
    
    grid-template-areas:
      "header header header"
      .
      "footer footer footer";
    /* change code above this line */
  }
</style>
  
<div class="container">
  <div class="item1">1</div>
  <div class="item2">2</div>
  <div class="item3">3</div>
  <div class="item4">4</div>

Good try.

Remember the challenge still want s you to have content area. It’s only the ‘advert’ area that needs to be emptied. Don’t forget to surround each row with quotes.
