Did I need the BODY environment? (Tribute Page)

HTML-CSS
1

Hello.

I accidentally completed the Build A Tribute Page exercise required for certification.

I was in the process of moving a few tags around and linking the external wiki page, when suddenly I was met with successful completion notice.

The very distant section of my page had the following:

<section>
  <h5>
    If you have time, you should read more about this incredible human being on his <a id="tribute-link" target="_blank" href=" wiki website here .>
    </h5>
  </section>
</main>
<body>
  
  </body>
</html>

As you can see, the body section is blank.

Where was it supposed to go?
Or did I even need it?

So when would a BODY environment be needed?

HI @aeligos !

Here is an example HTML boilerplate showing where the body element should go

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>HTML 5 Boilerplate</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
	
  </body>
</html>

Yes, you do.
The body element represents the body content(images, headings, paragraphs, etc) for the web page

Hope that helps

Thank you for the response.

Now that I’ve completed the exercise, would I lose this achievement if I return to the project and make changes? I want to go back to it and place the body tags in their correct location PLUS I want to edit/modify the CSS elements.

Thanks for your help.

Hello!
You will not lose the credit for it, unless you remove something that causes it fail and save it.
If it fails passing and you do not save it, it will just revert back to your last saved project.
I am constantly going back and working on my projects, after I have completed them. I do not save until I know it still meets the requirements to pass everything. I hope this helps you!

Keep up the great progress!:slight_smile:

I would suggest updating it because any of the certification projects are subject to being looked at.

So you want to submit the best work you possibly can
