Challenge: Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu - Step 1
Link to the challenge:
Your html element needs a closing tag. The entire HTML document will be nested inside the html element.
<!doctype html>
That’s not correct according to W3C html validator.
I can’t believe something this basic is keeping me from progressing on the lesson.
You have a DOCTYPE declaration at the very top of your document, but you should then also have an html element, which has an opening html tag and a closing html tag. You will then be nesting all other HTML elements for this project between the two html tags.
You have the opening tag but have not added a closing tag.
Most HTML elements have both an opening and closing tag. The exceptions are elements such as img and input (amongst others).
EXAMPLE:
<h1>This is a heading element</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph element</p>
<div>This is a div element</div>
I can’t even copy and paste the code I have in a reply in this forum
If you want to paste any code into a forum post, you should use the Preformatted Text Tool (</> icon or CTRL+e). This creates two sets of triple backticks, and you paste your code between them, so that it displays correctly on the forum.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
</html>
This is what I have (above).
Yes, that should work. If it’s still not passing, then the following should help:
If it’s still not passing then you may need to disable any active browser extensions, as they can interfere with the FCC tests. Alternatively, you can try a different browser.
Hope that helps!
Yes, it passed but I’ll make a note of those tips. Thanks so much for your help!
