This challenge does not make sense "Set the class of 'panel' to the 'newParagraph'"

I have tried many different ways of answering this challenge, but I am especially confused why this is not working

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
newParagraph.style.className="panel";
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Hi there, Ismael! You're doing great, but when setting the className you do not need the .style part. Here's an example:

myDiv.className = "my-class";

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
