301 Pointsparagraph text color change in CSS test
Don't think He covered the phrase 'paragraph' at all. Went back through video as well. I think it refers to the code ' body '? And that is what I put in there. Also I think the hexdecimal maybe incorrect?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
body {
color: #999;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}

5,449 PointsIf your trying to target the paragraph ( the <p> tag ) then you want to select it in CSS by using this selector
p { }

-tag. So to change it's properties you would use the selector:
p {
color: #fff;
}

301 PointsOk I am missing something, LoL Here is the code:
p { // properties: color: #fff; }
Christian Andersson
8,712 PointsTim Pearson by the //properties
I was sort of trying to say "insert properties-code here" -- this isn't actual code.
If you want the full code, here it is:
p {
color: #fff;
}
I edited my original answer with the full answer, so it's clear :)
Tim Pearson
301 Pointsok, that p code is NOT working still getting an error. and for black it should be #ffff?????
Eric Trego
15,308 Pointsyou do not need the // properties it should just read
p { color: #fff; }
it could also be writing like
P { color: #ffffff; }
if all the values are the same you can short hand it to just 3 values.
hope this helps

5,449 Pointsp {
background-color: #fff; // This would be a white background color.
background-color: #000; // This would be a black background color.
background-color: black; // This also would be a black background color.
color: #fff; //This font will be white
color: #000; //This font will be black
color: black; //This font will be black
}
Note: The third background-color would be applied because it overwrote the last 2. Just a tip, hope that helped.
So if your looking for black background with a white font you want this :
p {
background-color: black;
color: #fff;
}
