I'm being asked to set a linear gradient with two color stops with a starting position from bottom to top but i must be putting in the code wrong because i cant figure it out. ive watched videos two times already and check for errors but i get nothing. Any recommendations?

.main-header{

No mistake you made, all is perfect except space between to top, it should be without space. See below
.main-header{
background-image: ----;
}

.main-header {
background-image: linear-gradient(---);
}

8,064 PointsThis topic is bugged. My answer was originally accepted, but something happened to all the answers (as you can see, the values have been replaced with ----). Support has already confirmed the bug and that they are looking into it.
That said, the question you linked is actually a different question so the answer does not apply here.

28,736 PointsOk I indeed thought these answers were quite odds. Thank you for the warning. Besides that, I linked the other topic because the subject is exactly the same. Both topics deal about the same exercise, and the answer marked as best answer works perfectly in the other one.I tested it. Or maybe I misunderstood something ?
Nick Pfisterer
8,064 PointsThe topic you linked is indeed about the same exercise, but not the same problem. As you can see in the answer I provided, Jacob's gradient wasn't rendering because he added an extra space in the value. In the thread you linked, Hazuki's gradient wasn't rendering because they added an unnecessary -webkit prefix to the value. :)

background-image: linear-gradient ( bottom, steelblue,darkslateblue 90% );
