CSS Basics - Code Challenge Glitch (Gradients)

Hello,

For the CSS Basics module, the Code Challenge on Gradients is giving me an error message when I don't think it should be. Task 3 in the code challenge is asking me to add steelblue as the first color stop for our linear-gradient. I have done this, so I am confused as to why I am still receiving an error message that says "Bummer! Make sure you're setting the first color stop value to 'steelblue'."

Is this a glitch? My answer to the task is below, which seems correct:

.main-header { background-image: linear-gradient(top, steelblue, darkslateblue); }

In your code just remove the top

.main-header { 
background-image: linear-gradient(steelblue, darkslateblue);  /*<----- here remove the top*/
}
