You're missing a comma between the direction and the first color, and there's a stray extra comma at the end of the argument list.

Hi there! Task 3 does not ask for a direction for the gradient nor a stopping point. It looks to me like you were working on Task 4. However, something has happened with your commas which is causing the gradient to not be rendered properly. You have an extraneous comma at the end of your gradient and are missing a comma after the direction.

/* You wrote */

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

/* That should be */
background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);

Pay careful attention to the difference in the placement of the commas between these two versions.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
