Step 2 Rothko Painting

HTML-CSS

Why will the meta tag fail to pass here?

 <head>
    <title>Rothko Painting</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/css-box-model/diagram-1.png"
  </body>

we need to have a link to the step you are on
and we need to see your code (otherwise we are just guessing what is wrong)

I’ve edited your code for readability. 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 (').

you have not formed your img tag correctly.
All html tags must end with a >

6

Noted. Will take that into account.

7

I have added the img closing tag. The hint i am getting is " Your code should have a meta tag."

8

can I see your latest attempt?
(the one above has a missing > as I mentioned)

Sure.

Can you please post your code? All you have is a formatted image. Thanks!

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.

Thank you very much! Disabling the Dark Reader (Dark Mode) did the trick/
