Tell us what’s happening:
I have an issue on Step 35. I’m getting a warning “Set border to none”. I tried changing browsers, restarting step and refreshing, disabled extensions and darkmode, kept zoom to 100%, tried incognito mode. Please help me.
.submit-btn {
cursor: pointer;
background-color: royalblue;
color: whitesmoke;
border: none;
border-radius: 6px;
padding: 12px 20px;
}
Your code so far
<!-- file: index.html -->
/* file: styles.css */
/* User Editable Region */
.submit-btn {
cursor: pointer;
background-color: royalblue;
color: whitesmoke;
border: none;
border-radius: 6px;
padding: 12px 20px;
}

Welcome to the forum @mahitha !
There is an open GitHub issue for this step.
Please try removing the line with transition in the .contact-method-radio-btn::before selector.
Does that pass the tests for you?
Happy coding!
I tried removing that line, I’m still getting the error
This is my code
body {
background-color: MidnightBlue;
color: whitesmoke;
}
.container {
background-color: #ffffff1a;
width: 80%;
max-width: 600px;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 20px auto;
padding: 10px 20px;
box-shadow: 0 5px 15px black;
}
.center {
text-align: center;
}
.description {
font-size: 1.2rem;
}
fieldset {
border: 1px solid gray;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: 20px 0;
padding: 20px;
}
fieldset legend {

Removing the transition line did not work for me.

Welcome to the forum @PFox !
Thank you for letting us know. I was hoping that might work to get past this step, but apparently not. At any rate, there is an open GitHub issue for this:
opened 04:56PM - 14 Apr 26 UTC
scope: curriculum
status: waiting triage
rwd v9 cert
### Describe the Issue
Recently, there have been several forum posts related to… this step. Each of the posters has written perfect code but the step doesn't pass for them. An example of one of these posts is: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/design-a-parent-teacher-conference-form-step-35/785772
```css
/* User Editable Region */
.submit-btn{
cursor:pointer;
background-color:royalblue;
color:whitesmoke;
border-radius:6px;
padding:12px 20px;
border: none;
}
/* User Editable Region */
```
### Affected Page
https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design-v9/workshop-parent-teacher-conference-form/step-35
### Steps to Reproduce
I cannot recreate the issue they are seeing, but all report an error that says the border should be set to none.
### Recommended fix or suggestions
The only reason I'm reporting this is the unusual frequency of the same code for this step, always written correctly, but not passing the tests.
Could this be caused by the `transition` property added to one of the selectors in a previous step?
### Screenshots
_No response_
Just move on to the next step until they get this fixed.
Happy coding!

I submitted the step using FireFox and it worked! This also worked for another bugged page in a different exercise (step 44 of Design a Registration Form)
