CSS CSS Basics (2014) The Box Model Padding

Stage 4 The Box Model

I followed Guil's instruction to unselect the comment
by using ctrl /.

<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2> <p> As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>. </p>

I save it and refresh the page and I don't see the same results. Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not seeing the div with the black background with the content that says

<div class="wildlife"> <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2> <p> As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>. </p> </div> Thanks for responding Guil :)

Andrea Faciane,

No problem. :) Does the div have the class wildlife? It's also possible that you're not seeing the text because the color is set to white in the lesson, and you might want to double check your background color hex value.

Can you also please post your CSS? Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

If you used the Project Files from "'start", as I did, then above your h2 (shown in your code) you will see a div. The div does not have a class attribute. You will need to add class="wildlife". The video does not explain that but it is an easy fix and will add the background color.

Hope that helps.

Andrea, post the code that is giving you trouble and I'll see if there are bugs

After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>. </p>

Hi Andrea Faciane,

That looks correct. What kind of results are you seeing in the browser?
