Silver Background Not Working

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:

After typing in the necessary code to turn my div section’s background silver, the challenge says I did everything correctly, except it says that the background isn’t silver. The preview even shows a silver background, despite it saying that it isn’t silver. This is very frustrating and I can’t figure out any reason why this should be failing.

Your code so far


<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
.red-text {
  color: red;
}

h2 {
  font-family: Lobster, monospace;
}

p {
  font-size: 16px;
  font-family: monospace;
}

.thick-green-border {
  border-color: green;
  border-width: 10px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

.smaller-image {
  width: 100px;
}

.silver-background {
  background-color: silver;
}
</style>

<a href="#"><img class="smaller-image thick-green-border" src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>

Hello. It does work.

3

It gives me check marks for everything except “Your div element should have a silver background”

I literally copypasted your code and it passed the test (also i can’t spot anything wrong). Did you change anything from it after posting? Or try refreshing the browser tab where the challenge is and running the tests again, maybe it broke somehow.

A friend of mine tested the code as well and it worked. I tried refreshing and it didn’t do anything to fix it, so I’m not sure what’s going on.

I’m thinking it may be my browser. I tried it on Edge and it worked.
