linear-gradient issue

In the video, Guil simply adds "linear-" onto the front of the gradient property to fix the issue. As far as I can tell I am doing the exact same thing, but I am still getting the invalid property value error.

My CSS reads: background: linear-gradient(90deg, #d4eece, #55b3d0, #1e7eb7), url(../images/header-bg.jpg) no repeat;

(this is copy/pasted from the debugger)

To me, it looks identical to Guil's CSS in the video. Can someone please point out the error?

You have "no repeat" (with a space) instead of "no-repeat" (with a hyphen).

Also note that the image won't be seen with an opaque gradient on top of it.

Thank you! I might not have ever noticed that. I think I retyped it while I was working on the debugging and lost the hyphen somewhere.
