We set background to white (#fff) but why this is still transparent?

We set background color to white (#fff) but why this is still partially transparent? How to make it solid white so we couldn't see stuff behind it while scrolling the page? Here is a link to my snapshot: https://w.trhou.se/0uz4bk931n. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought the same behaviour is in the video with the challenge solution, but now I see that Dave's solution is working fine. Here is a link to my snapshot: https://w.trhou.se/0uz4bk931n. Thanks!

I know this answer is too late for you, but it may help others who encounter this. If you look at the main.css file at line 232, here there is a style definition that involves the <h5> tag and it conflicts with your definition at line 349.

Line 232

 /*Sticky*/
.is-sticky h5 {
  width: 100%;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0px;
  background: #fff;
  padding: 12px 0;
  margin: 0;
  opacity: 0.95;
}

All I did was change the opacity to 1 and your code now works correctly.

We would need to see your code to provide an accurate assessment. try and share your code directly from the code challenge. Good luck!

This should probably be a comment, not an answer.

Also, he seems to be working on some project code that's not part of a challenge, that's why I suggested the snapshot would be the best way to share the code.
