transition-duration: 0.4s;

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hi Daniel,

I can't seem to find it in your CSS code, Would you be able to post it?

Typically though it goes in the .button selector so it can transition back and forth. I don't think 0.4s would be an incorrect value in real life but the challenge is looking for a value of .4s not 0.4s.

Hope this helps. :)

I know. The challenge validator is badly written. 0.4 is a valid number. I've seen several of these in various courses.
