CSS Trouble in Codecademy Tutorial
I'm stuck on a CSS part, and I swear I'm doing it right, but it says I'm not. Can someone help me?
Lesson: Web Fundamentals, Selecting HTML Elements, ‘Bordering on Insanity’.
Info:
In the stylesheet.css tab:
01. Set your tds (table data cells) to have a height of 50px so we can see them better when we add our border.
02. Give your tds a border of 1px dashed blue.
03. Give your table a border of 1px solid black.
Code I put in:
Message I get:
Oops, try again! Did you set your <table> border width to 1px? Check all your opening and closing tags!
By all appearences, I have it right, but…

Maybe they're looking for this:
td{
height:50px;
border-width:1px;
border-style:dashed;
border-color:blue;
}
table{
border:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:black;
}

Huh. They didn't set it up like that, but I'll give it a shot. Thank you! Maybe they're looking for this:td{
height:50px;
border-width:1px;
border-style:dashed;
border-color:blue;
}
table{
border:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:black;
}

Same thing… I'm wondering if it's a site glitch or something. I skipped that section; maybe it'll work. Maybe they're looking for this:td{
height:50px;
border-width:1px;
border-style:dashed;
border-color:blue;
}
table{
border:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:black;
}

If you google “Codecademy bordering on insanity,” there are tons of complaints saying that the lesson is broken.

Thank you for that. Skipped it. If you google “Codecademy bordering on insanity,” there are tons of complaints saying that the lesson is broken.
I guess they called it ‘Bordering on Insanity’ for a reason.
