You don’t have a semi-colon after “Garamond” or “underline” try putting your opening and closing brackets on separate lines so you don’t forget things like that (I had the same problem early on)

If this doesn’t work however, please post the exact error message you’re getting.

@lolman, single property does not require semi-colon.

@boardblaster36339, you forgot to give your synopsis paragraph a color of #7AC5CD, the synopsis paragraph is the only paragraph that is a direct child of div.

I have problems at the same code… so my code looks like this:

p {
font-family: Garamond;

}
body > p {
font-weight: bold;
}
div > p {
color: #7AC5CD;
}
div > ul {
color:#000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}

and is says to me: Oops, try again. Did you remember to set the paragraphs inside

  • tags to the text-decoration: underline;?
    but as i can see my code is fine and the paragraphs insiden
  • are underlined, so i don’t know where i am worng… can i get some help. thks

    this:

    div > ul {
    color:#000000;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

    normally would be fine, but the exercise wants you to specify the paragraph in your css selector:

    div > ul p {
    color:#000000;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

    Maybe its a browser issue, IE and Firefox work better with bolder and Chrome whit bold, try it the same code on Chrome

    13

    Same problem but in Spanish version…

    Edit: I change to Chrome and it works! (not in Firefox)

    Who, thank you , it’s been awhile that I was stuck on this exercise …

    16

    I used the IDs I saw on the first lesson, and I was able to pull it off. I gave all elements I needed to change an ID.
    <p id="introduction">,
    <p id="synopsis">,
    <p id="summary">.


    My CSS looked like this:

    p {
    font-family: Garamond;
}

#introduction, #summary {
    font-weight: bold;
}

#synopsis {
    color: #7AC5CD;
}

ul p {
    color: #000000;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

    the whole point of the exercise, is not to use id’s, but get familair with > to grab direct children

    I know. But since they exist and he already showed them to me on the Preview, I just used them. Break the rules sometimes :smiley:

    My favorite part about coding is that you can achieve the same product with different styles. So that’s awesome.

    Absolute agree, but some people here are in the beginning of a learning process and then it is good to > in this exercise, to become familair with direct children. you can’t use different styles if you don’t know the styles.
