Tell us what’s happening:

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the background-color code. The error says it should have white background which it already does. Thanks in advance XD

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Cafe Menu</title>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="menu">
      <main>
        <h1>CAMPER CAFE</h1>
        <p>Est. 2020</p>
        <section>
          <h2>Coffee</h2>
        </section>
      </main>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

/* file: styles.css */
body {

/* User Editable Region */

  /* background-color: burlywood; */

/* User Editable Region */

}

h1, h2, p {
  text-align: center;
}

#menu {
  width: 300px;
}

Try adding the background color property of white in your CSS body tag.

body {
background-color:white;
}

Thanks for replying.

I tried adding it like this:

body {
/* background-color: burlywood; */
background-color:white;
}

but it still shows the same error and doesn’t let me proceed. If I remove the /* */ section, it says " You should comment out the background-color: burlywood; line in your CSS."

The instructions says:
In your style sheet, comment out the line containing the background-color property and value, so you can see the effect of only styling the #menu element. This will make the background white again.

Not sure if i’m missing a step involving the #menu part?

You code should look like this… in the css file

menu {
width: 80%;
background-color: burlywood;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

It doesn’t seem to work either, it gave me the following error:

Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.
Your body should have a white background.

I think it’s looking for a specific answer

I peeked into step 23 of the cafe menu, and it has something like this:

body {
/*
background-color: burlywood;
*/
}

I tried copy and paste this on step 22 but it still doesn’t work, giving me the same “Your body should have a white background.” error

Edit:
Welp I switched from Google Chrome to Firefox and it’s successful… Might be a weird bug on Chrome’s end or something XD
