Is there a way of seeing why my code is not working in work spaces?

Hi Christy,

Can you post your code please?

Not exactly, that's why Rich is asking you to post your code in this Forum.

Workspaces will change the highlighting if you forget to close an element or use unexpected syntax.

Only thing I can think of is look at the code from the video and your workspace side by side. :(

Thanks both, I've probably missed something but here it is

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Christy Small | Search Marketing</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Christy Small</h1>
      <h2>Search Marketing</h2>
    </header>
    <section>
      <p>Gallery will go here.</p>

  </body>
</html>

Thanks C

Thanks Christy. I've just edited the format of the post so that the code was displayed a little bit clearer.

The code appears to work fine in Code Pen. Can you confirm how it's displaying incorrect for you please?

Thanks Rich, I spent an hour checking my code, thought I was going mad! All I'm getting is my name in blue from the title tag but without the "search marketing" part. It's as if the work space has not updated from an earlier code challenge. I've tried clearing my cache with no effect, to be honest I've had a few issues with Chrome this evening so maybe I'll try in Firefox tomorrow. Thanks for your help C

No problem, someone else on the forum had a similar thing recently. If you ever have the issue again try something like CodePen.

You can paste the contents of your body tags inside the HTML window and preview the website in the window below. When you have your CSS / JavaScript in place you can test those in there too.

Hope that helps :)
