I've been having the same issue anytime I try and preview my work. They must be having server issues.

Hi Douglas Rouse

What steps are you taking to get to a 404 page? I just tested this code challenge and was able to pass through it with no issues. I copied the code you used above and couldn't produce a 404 error with that upon submission either.

Previewing the content without adding any of your own code to the code challenge editor will produce a 404 Not Found in the text field, but typically there isn't much of a reason to be previewing the material if you haven't entered in any of your own code.

If you're seeing something different please do let us know, and I'll be happy to investigate!

Edit 1:25pm PDT: Went through it three times, on the third attempt I was able to get the Preview option to produce a 404 error even though I had the correct code present, but the check work button worked and I was able to pass the code challenge.

I'll bring this up with our developers to look into. Thanks for bringing the matter to our attention.

Yes, you can pass the challenges just fine. It only occurs if you click the preview button on the challenge
