Could you show me what you have attempted? Basically you need to set a specific attribute on both div elements as explained in the challenge description.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. I wrote div class="favorite_stuff" under both <div> tags.

It won't let me add the <> which I know come before the div and after stuff"

Classes are assigned inside the tags. For this challenge, you're looking to set the div elements to the class "favorite_stuff". That will allow you to apply the same styling to both divs. I've included a demonstration, and hopefully you can apply it to your challenge.

<body>

  <!-- I've given the following div the class "demonstration" -->
  <div class="demonstration">
    <p>The class identifier in the div tag above is a good example on how to assign a class.</p>
  </div>

Hi there,

I am having this same problem. I am entering the syntax correctly as above, but it keeps sending a bummer message and telling me that the class attribute on both div elements needs to be set to <div class="favourite_stuff">. I've tried entering the information in the same way as the example in the workspace, but it isn't working. Am I doing something wrong, or is there possibly a bug here?

Hi Emil!

Thank you so much! really appreciate the offer. I actually found my mistake :) I had: <div> <div class="Favorite_Stuff">

Only one way to learn :)
