Tell us what’s happening:
Good morning (or whatever time it is for you). Got a little stuck on this basic thing; my question is: Ive inserted a new div for class=“marker”, the div ending tag was provided by the system. Ive reset several times; what am I doing wrong? isnt that /div tag just hanging out in the air with no opener?

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>Colored Markers</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>

<!-- User Editable Region -->

  <body>
    <h1>CSS Color Markers</h1>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="marker">
    </div>
  </body>

<!-- User Editable Region -->

</html>

/* file: styles.css */
h1 {
  text-align: center;
}

this line is missing the closing tag </div>

thank you very much. But isnt that closing tag beneath that line unneeded?

4

the .container div needs its own closing div.
So when you add any div, you must always have an opening and a closing tag

Thank you. I think I keep confusing the <> as openers and closers. I’ll keep bashing into it until it clicks :smiley:

those < and > are called angled brackets
all tags start and end with them

tags are the reserved words that html language is (that the browser understands)
<html> is a tag
<body. is a tag
<a href="something"> is a tag

and there are usually opening and closing tags (unless the element is self-closing like image)
