CSS Grid: Use grid-column to Control Spacing

HTML-CSS
1

I can’t seem to pass this lesson. I’ve search the forum already and only see people having the same problem with no solution given.

The task is to make Item 5 span the final two columns. “grid-column: 2/4;” should cover this, however the script says it’s not correct.

How do I force this through? Is it a bug in the code that needs fixing?

Thanks.

Your code so far


<style>
.item1{background:LightSkyBlue;}
.item2{background:LightSalmon;}
.item3{background:PaleTurquoise;}
.item4{background:LightPink;}

.item5 {background: PaleGreen;
  /* add your code below this line */
  **grid-column: 2/ 4;**
  /* add your code above this line */
}

.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;
}
</style>

<div class="container">
<div class="item1">1</div>
<div class="item2">2</div>
<div class="item3">3</div>
<div class="item4">4</div>
<div class="item5">5</div>
</div>

Welcome, Tom.

I tested your code in my browser (without the sets of ** around the code), and the tests passed.

So, perhaps, it is an issue with your browser/version, or with an extension you have installed. These have been issues for some people.

Hope this helps.

You’re absolutely right. Running the code in Chrome rather than Edge worked perfectly.

Thank you!
