Now that you’ve got one marker centered with color, it’s time to add the other markers.

In the container div, add two more div elements and give them each a class of marker.

not understanding why this wont pass

<!-- 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>
  <body>
    <h1>CSS Color Markers</h1>

<!-- User Editable Region -->

    <div class="container"></div><div class="marker"</div><div class="marker"></div>
      <div class="marker"></div>
      
    

<!-- User Editable Region -->

  </body>
</html>

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

.marker {
  width: 200px;
  height: 25px;
  background-color: red;
  margin: auto;

Hello, I’m noticing you may have deleted or added the surrounding divs to the new div elements. Add two closing divs at the end and it’ll work.

3

So delete the closing divs in the middle and add 2 at the end? so 3 closing divs at the end? doesnt work still

4

you need to have 3 sibling div inside #container, from the code you posted at the beginning you are missing a >

5

missing that where? in the beginning?

6

here you are missing a >

7

nope still doesnt’ work. Can someone just tell me what to do before i quit this?

8

can you show your code?
you have not told us if you moved the three div inside the .container

10

how do i show it everytime i copy paste it shows something weird

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.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

12

<div class="container"><div class="marker"</div><div class="marker"><div class="marker"></div></div></div>

13

you still have a missing > in your opening <div> tag

also the .marker elements should be siblings, the last two are nested into each other, move one of the closing </div> immediately after the second opening tag <div class="marker">

16

alright i quit this is bs

17

for the .marker elements you need to have an opening tag followed by a closing tag, if you have multiple opening tags after each other, they are not siblings anymore

20

<div class="container"><div class="marker"></div><div class="marker"></div><div class="marker"></div>

21

Hi @artitus1

I edited your code for readibility.

<div class="container">
  <div class="marker"></div>
  <div class="marker"></div>
  <div class="marker"></div>

You need to add one more closing div tag to close the parent div, this needs to go at the end of your code.

Happy coding

god bless you i was actually losing my mind
