Description

Classes are reusable styles that can be added to HTML elements. Here's an example CSS class declaration:

<style>
  .blue-text {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

You can see that we've created a CSS class called blue-text within the <style> tag. You can apply a class to an HTML element like this: <h2 class="blue-text">CatPhotoApp</h2> Note that in your CSS style element, class names start with a period. In your HTML elements' class attribute, the class name does not include the period.

Instructions

Inside your style element, change the h2 selector to .red-text and update the color's value from blue to red. Give your h2 element the class attribute with a value of 'red-text'.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your <code>h2</code> element should be red.
    testString: 'assert($("h2").css("color") === "rgb(255, 0, 0)", "Your <code>h2</code> element should be red.");'
  - text: Your <code>h2</code> element should have the class <code>red-text</code>.
    testString: 'assert($("h2").hasClass("red-text"), "Your <code>h2</code> element should have the class <code>red-text</code>.");'
  - text: Your stylesheet should declare a <code>red-text</code> class and have its color set to red.
    testString: 'assert(code.match(/\.red-text\s*\{\s*color\s*:\s*red;\s*\}/g), "Your stylesheet should declare a <code>red-text</code> class and have its color set to red.");'
  - text: 'Do not use inline style declarations like <code>style="color&#58; red"</code> in your <code>h2</code> element.'
    testString: 'assert($("h2").attr("style") === undefined, "Do not use inline style declarations like <code>style="color&#58; red"</code> in your <code>h2</code> element.");'
