the problem is between the style class.
here’s the code.

h2.red-text { color:red; }

don’t put a space between h2 and the dot.

How am I supposed to make my stylesheet declare a red text. I am very confused.

25

“Your stylesheet should declare a red-text class and have its color set to red.” What does this mean??

26

figured it out it looks like this
.red-text {
color: red;
}

27

I had the correct solution for quite awhile, but was unable to get it to accept my code. finally I tried a different browser and it worked fine.

If you have the correct code but it is not accepting it. Try a different browser. In my case Edge failed but Chrome worked.

This forum is fantastic :slight_smile:

I struggled to determine exactly what the CSS was in relation to the HTML, think I’ve got it now tho.

@gamingchampion22 - you’re referring to the color line, i’m asking about the class line

38
h2.red-text{color: red;}

CatPhotoApp

this will do

My code runs fine on desktop but mobile is really choppy to work with and even when I get it done the class-selector just won’t work to color the element. I went through letter by letter to make sure it was the same as the way I had gotten it to work on desktop, but the CSS just wouldn’t run.

<style>
  .red-text {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>
