HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:
Hey all, I saw this started happening to me yesterday. I’m not sure if it is broken or if I am doing something wrong but the challenge was to turn the h2 element to blue with a style element. I’ve done this but it still gives me error that that the only test I have failed is turning the h2 element blue, any help is much appreciated. I’ve seen other posts similar to this and have tried to follow along but still seem to be encountering issues. Thank you in advanced!

Your code so far


<style>
h2{
  color: blue;
}
</style>

Your code passes for me. Are you using an extension (like dark mode) that changes your browser CSS? You need to turn off browser extensions that change your CSS for these challenges, but we have a native dark mode that you can turn on in the settings.

Awesome, thank you so much Jeremy, I do have some browser extensions active, so I will turn those off and try again. I appreciate your time!
