Description

Now let's start fresh and talk about CSS inheritance. Every HTML page has a body element.

Instructions

We can prove that the body element exists here by giving it a background-color of black. We can do this by adding the following to our style element:

body {
  background-color: black;
}

Tests

- text: Give your <code>body</code> element the <code>background-color</code> of black.
  testString: 'assert($("body").css("background-color") === "rgb(0, 0, 0)", ''Give your <code>body</code> element the <code>background-color</code> of black.'');'
- text: Make sure your CSS rule is properly formatted with both opening and closing curly brackets.
  testString: 'assert(code.match(/<style>\s*body\s*\{\s*background.*\s*:\s*.*;\s*\}\s*<\/style>/i), ''Make sure your CSS rule is properly formatted with both opening and closing curly brackets.'');'
- text: Make sure your CSS rule ends with a semi-colon.
  testString: 'assert(code.match(/<style>\s*body\s*\{\s*background.*\s*:\s*.*;\s*\}\s*<\/style>/i), ''Make sure your CSS rule ends with a semi-colon.'');'
