The main issue is that it does not work Internet Explorer, but works on Chrome and Firefox.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

I'm on my way out the door, but your <head> tag is still open. Try closing it before <body> and see if IE gives it some love.

Good luck!

Mike

No problem.

  1. Try making it lang='en' or 'en-US' on line 2 of your html.

  2. You have an <h3> in your skills list instead of an <li>. Change that to <li> and see if it works. A great site for checking your code is https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input - It will show you any validation errors and warnings in your code.

Cheers!

Welcome to web development! This issue will be with you throughout your dev experience. It's called legacy development. For now you can use a site called caniuse.com here you can see what CSS is compatible with all browsers.

check to see if IE supports the HTML5 element Main.
