Hi there!

You didn’t tried anything. Where’s your code?
Post your code here in your topic.

3

For the challenge step, you didn’t need to add the ratio 7:1. you need to change the a element text color within your li element to apposite of it’s background color.

4

oh yeah. sorry pardon, I have araised what i was trying since it was not working. here is the code I was trying.

li > a {
  color: 7:1;
}

you also said that the previous color has to be changed to the opposit or something. how am I suppose to know what is previous color if I am a visually impaired. please help me in this regard. thanks.

5

Make the color value to an opposite color a element’s background color. For example you have a black background for the anchor element, then you need to make it’s text color to white. Remove that 7:1 and add an actual color value.

6

I can give a hint for background color. The background of the anchor element is black.

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.

hey, thanks for your reply. as you have said, I have tried changing the color to the opposit to the background-color which you have told. but, even though I was targeting the anchor elements alone. the following is the message I was encountering while I was trying to run the code.
Sorry, your code does not pass. Don’t give up.
You should only change the color of a elements inside list elements.
the thing which wonders me here is, I was particularly targeting the anchor elements inside the list items. how would it effect the other elements. it should effect the anchor elements alone, since I am targeting it particularly by > method.

9

what is your code now?

10

I have changed nothing in my code, accept the value for the color property. I was targeting the anchor element in the same way as I have pasted my code above. no change. just as per the above suggestion, I have changed the color value from 7:1 to the actual opposit color. still I was encountering this error.

11

can you please copy all the code from the .css file?

12

sure I am pasting my code here.

body {
  background: #f5f6f7;
  color: #1b1b32;
  font-family: Helvetica;
  margin: 0;
}

header {
  width: 100%;

nav {
  width: 50%;

nav > ul {

Your solution works from my end. Please try one of the following steps to move forward.

Click on the “Restart Step” button and force a refresh of your page with CTRL + F5 then try to paste the code in again.

or - Try the step in incognito or private mode.

or - Disable any/all extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, or Spellcheckers), and set your browser zoom level to 100%. Both of these factors can cause tests to fail erroneously.

or - Ensure your browser is up-to-date or try a different browser.

I hope one of these will work for you.

@ILM I have tried all those work arounds which you have mentioned. none of them works for me. this happened to me in previous form building challenge as well. but, luckily, I was able to complete it till 98%, in this scenario I was not even close. please could you suggest me any alternatives for me if possible? thanks.

16

all of them? you tried a different browser? you tried updating your current browser? you deactivated all browser extensions?

anyway if you can’t complete this step, move on to step 47

17

yes I have done everything menntioned by you. but nothing really worked, and I use no extensions. I use to use one or two, but I have disabled them long ago.
