I cannot get past step 40 (adding ‘background’ property with linear-gradient fill to .bb1a class below [whatever that means] the existing ‘background-color’ property), and I keep getting a hint that reads: " You should apply a ‘background’ to ‘.bb1a’ right after the ‘background-color’." As far as I can tell, I have done that, or at least I can’t figure out why I haven’t. The gradient fill actually does show up in the previewer, but it still claims the code isn’t working and gives me the same hint.
Whole code is below, but relevant section pasted here:
.bb1a {
width: 70%;
height: 10%;
background-color: var(–building-color1);
background: linear-gradient(
var(–building-color1),
var(–window-color1)
);
Your code so far
