Challenge task 4 of 4 - Add the background

I have added the css code like this with no results:

body    {
    font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
    color: #FAF3BC;
    background: #420600 url('img/bg-texture.png') repeat;

I think there's a bug or something wrong with that challenge.

Tks

Check the filename of the image. Also, you can pass without repeat. Probably because that's the default value if you don't set it.

In the example you posted above, you haven't closed the body tag with }

I forgot to paste it on my question, but it is inserted in the code and it does not work. So I have it like this:

body { font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; color: #FAF3BC; background-color: #420600 url("img/bg-texture.png") repeat; }

Any other suggestion?

Tks.

Tks guys. I will just skip it as nothing seems to work. Cheers!

You changed the filename of the image and that didn't work?

You have to use the filename they specified in the instructions.

Yes Jason, I used the .png but that didn't work, however, I applied the code as instructed by Jeff and that worked (although that was different from what the lesson taught). Tks both... case closed!

Be careful here and make sure to closely read instructions of each code challenge, there's no guarantee filenames in a code challenge will match the ones used in the corresponding video.
