There is the invalid character. Remove or comment

<!--  ... -->

in both instances.

#3

Specifically, where is the invalid character?

#4

Where is the invalid character?



...


...


#5

The code in the lesson text contains illegal characters. If one copies and pastes the example, it will contain the horizontal ellipse, but it may be hidden.

#6

Thank you but, I did not copy and paste and am still receiving invalid character error? What should I do to correct?

#7

Remove those characters from your markup.

    <div class="row">
    
    </div>
    <div class="row"> 
    
    </div>
#8

I have removed/deleted the entire section on 6.8 and reentered, omitting those characters and they automatically populate, please advise.

#9

Without being able test once a module is complete I cannot reproduce the issue.

If you follow the steps without typing in ... the section should look like this:

  <section class="container">
    <div class="row">
      <figure class="col-sm-6">
        <p>kitchen</p>
        <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/projects/make-a-website/lesson-4/kitchen.jpg">
      </figure>
      <figure class="col-sm-6">
        <p>woodwork</p>
        <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/projects/make-a-website/lesson-4/woodwork.jpg">
      </figure>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
      <figure class="col-sm-6">
        <p>gifts</p>

Thank you so much for replying. I am not entering the … and am still getting the invalid character error message​:frowning:. Even if I don’t enter it it automatically populates it and is hidden.

#11

Technically, there are no invalid characters when they are between tags, so long as the encoding recognizes them. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this problem. Do you have a Pro account? There are advisors that may be able to shed some light on this.

#12

No I do not have a Pro account.

#13

Much as I hate to suggest this, did you try pasting in my section sample above? It is the completion of all the steps in that lesson.

#14

Unsuccessful, even after pasting your section above still receiving the invalid character message on question 2 of 8 Exercise 6 (Supporting Content)

#15

May we have a look at your style sheet, please? We haven't looked there, yet.
