freeCodeCamp 🚀 - Give Background Color to Div Element Not Accepting Correct Answer

@LukaszKolo thanks for the issue but can you be more specific on what bug you are experiencing? Your code is correct so I'm not sure how to help you.

So thats a problem, that code is correct :) and the program says its not correct

"Give your div element the class silver-background.
Your div element should have a silver background."

The second element is not fullfilled

LukaszKolo on 9 Sep 2016

@erictleung Any ideas what to do with this problem?

the code is correct as you said,
DIV has a silver background color,
first checkbox "Give your div element the class silver-background" is checked green,
the second "Your div element should have a silver background." is red, so I couldnt go further with the course.

@LukaszKolo I would either suggest trying a different browser or jump to a different challenge by navigating through the Challenge Map. I'm not sure how to reproduce your issue. But it looks like you're using Firefox. I'm unable to reproduce your issue on Chrome. Let's see if someone else is able to reproduce the issue on Firefox.

I encountered the same problem in the latest Firefox 64 bit, Windows 10 64bit 1607.

Try freecode with Google Chrome. I passed this challenge with Chrome.

Opera, IE maybe then?

LukaszKolo on 15 Sep 2016

I've tried Chrome on Android, Chrome on win 10, and now Firefox. =(

Got it to work only on Edge.

andreiamlm on 15 Sep 2016

I am using Edge and background does not turn silver, and I have the same code as shown above

Never mind - did a reset and typed in everything again manually instead of copying and pasting - worked!

i mentioned it in css style and wrote the class more precisely and i am still not able to change my background color, and i use chrome.

right

You forgot to add one more step to this question. The last question states: "Your div element should have a silver background."
Apply
.silver-background {
background-color: silver;
}
To the styles area in order to assign the class the Silver color.

thank you @Martian1431 see you answered i did it

Thankyou @alexiss23!

I was too busy trying to assign the background class to my "div" element within the style tags above but overlooked the need to add it within the "div" tags below. . I have to keep reminding myself, "as above, so below!"
