Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 78

Tell us what’s happening: I don’t know what goes wrong…

Your code so far

WARNING

The challenge seed code and/or your solution exceeded the maximum length we can port over from the challenge.

You will need to take an additional step here so the code you wrote presents in an easy to read format.

Please copy/paste all the editor code showing in the challenge from where you just linked.

Replace these two sentences with your copied code.
Please leave the ``` line above and the ``` line below,
because they allow your code to properly format in the post.

Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 78

Hello and welcome to the forum.

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 (').

Please try your best to explain your issue.

I’ve tried to solve step 78 and I get stuck… I don’t know what goes wrong.

.fb1c {
width: 100%;
height: 80%;
background: repeating-linear-gradient(
90deg,
var(–building-color4),
var(–building-color4) 10%,
transparent 10%,
transparent 15%
),
repeating-linear-gradient(90deg,
var(–building-color4) 0%,
var(–building-color4) 10%,
var(–window-color4) 10%,
var(–window-color4) 90%,
);
}

Remove comma after 90% .

Thank you!

but it didn’t worked, still get the message: You should add a repeating-linear-gradient with a first color of --building-color4 from 0% to 10% .

Sorry! You have one - sign in variable. You need two before variable name.

thank you.
it’s two ‘-’ in my code… still don’t work :frowning:

Copy your code and paste it here with three ``` back ticks before and after your code in a separate line. We need your code for better solution.

Step 78

You can add multiple gradients to an element by separating them with a comma (,) like this:

gradient1(
  colors
),
gradient2(
  colors
);

Add a repeating-linear-gradient to .fb1c below the one that’s there; use your --building-color4 from 0% to 10% and --window-color4 from 10% and 90%. This will fill in behind the gradient you added last.

You didn’t have 90deg value in the instructions for your second linear gradient. Read your code and instructions carefully.
