Tell us what’s happening:

In step 71, CSS Colors, build a set of markers, I don’t understand what I am doing wrong. This is what I entered:

.sleeve {
width: 110px;
height: 25px;
}

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.

Thanks @hbar1st …I have tried everything you suggested and even updated my Mac, but still cannot proceed.

It keeps showing the same code failure message:

Your .sleeve CSS rule should have a height property set to 25px .

For now maybe you should skip this step. You can also try to open a GitHub issue to ask the developers to investigate more.

If I skip this step, I won’t be able to complete the course OR more importantly, get the certification :frowning_face:

6

I am new to coding…how do I open a GitHub issue to ask the developers to investigate?

You can skip any step you like and it has no effect on certification. The certificate depends on the 5 projects only.

CTRL + F5 is for Windows

How to do an Hard Refresh

While on the problematic page, use the key combination below to trigger a hard refresh depending on your operating system:

  • Windows: CTRL + F5
  • Mac/Apple: Apple + Shift + R or Command + Shift + R
  • Linux: F5

I was doing the refresh for Windows, di the Mac refresh and it worked. Thank you! :grinning:

Yeah sorry, we assume people know that command and CTRL are interchangeable depending on the computer.

Where did you copy those instructions from btw? I might adapt them for our response to this issue.

No worries! Someone else responded above:
