I also have the same error on the “Background Shorthand” section

Have also pressed “Get Code” to receive

background: url(“https://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/courses/web-101/unit-8/htmlcss1-img_bicycles.jpeg”) no-repeat top center;

and still unable to progress

I have the same error. After trying to run several times i got a message that says “Having Trouble?” and there are two options ‘Keep Trying’ and ‘Get Code’. After a few tries i selected ‘Get Code’. I run the page again and I still get the same error.

I think there is a bug on the evaluation of this exercise when you click RUN, because even the code that loads when you press ‘Get Code’ its not valid. I am 100% sure that I did the excercise as instructed.

Codecademy, please check whats wrong with this lesson so we can keep learning with your great page.

Yeah the whole HTML course seems super-buggy since the re-launch. I’ve submitted a bug report, hopefully will be sorted soon.

In the interim, as a workaround I changed it from id=cover to class=cover in index.html and then changed #cover to .cover in style.css which did the trick.

[dave.n]

Have you tried changing the id into a class instead?

[gurdainb]

Can confirm that this did work, also suggested by @avici!

This work around took care of my error also. Thank you.
