Difficulty nesting a div within a div

[scottThomas]

I am working on the CSS colors project and I’m having difficulty properly nesting a div within a div. My code is listed below, i either get the message " Your new div element should have a closing tag" or the same but referencing the opening tag.

<div class="container"> <div class="marker">
    </div>

Thanks,

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

As the error says, you’re missing a closing tag. You have two opening div tags but only one closing div tag.
