'Your h2 element should be blue' but it is!

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:

I keep getting the error message

‘Your h2 element should be blue.’

All the other criteria have been met.

Sorry for such a basic question but I have looked over this 100 times and keep getting the same error despite the text in the preview window clearly being blue.

Your code so far


<style>
h2 { color:blue;}
</style>
<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
<p>Click here to view more <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>

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

<div>
  <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>

Welcome, james.

Your code passes for me. I suggest you do either of the following:

  1. Disable all extensions that have access to freeCodeCamp.
  2. Use a different browser. The recommended is the latest stable release of Chrome.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the validation! Glad to know I’m not going crazy.

I had a similar hunch. I was on Firefox then switched to Chrome and everything’s been working great.

Thanks again.
