Silver background problem

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:
hey there, I’ve got stuck on this code for a while. Even after watching the video with an answer, I wrote exactly as it should be, but it still would not run.
Would really appreciate any help :slight_smile:

Your code so far


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

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
<p class="red-text">Click here to view more <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>

<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>

<div class= "silver backgroound">
  <p>Things cats love:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>cat nip</li>
    <li>laser pointers</li>
    <li>lasagna</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Top 3 things cats hate:</p>
  <ol>
    <li>flea treatment</li>
    <li>thunder</li>
    <li>other cats</li>
  </ol>
</div>

<form action="/submit-cat-photo">

there doesn’t seem to be a match…
in css you write the class name with a dot in front of it. You do not have a silver-background class anywhere in your html

I just noticed it and fixed it, but still nothing…

4

what do the tests say?
what’s your new code?

5

Your div element should have the class silver-background

. Your div element should have a silver background.

6

does it have that class?

please post again your code

7 
<div class= "silver-backgroound">
8

Your DIV element should have “silver-background” as the class and not “silver background”(with space) if you put a space while defining a class name the css will count both the name i.e “silver” and “background” as two different class name.

Pay close attention to this just as @ieahleen mentioned :
It is supposed to be single o

<div class= "silver-background">
