Hello David,

I guess there was a problem with the code challenge window, i tried background and background-color but it would not work. Just before you replied i refreshed the challenge and it worked. A bit weird..

Thanks for the help.

No problem. Sorry, it sounds like the code challenge was being a bit buggy. Glad it's all up and running again.
