I'm doing the code challenge for Width, Height & Overflow properties. The last part asks me to include an overflow property that adds scroll bars. I've put it inside the div element as follows;
div { overflow: scroll; }
But the code challenge is telling me to check the overflow declaration. However if I preview the code, the scroll bars appear as expected, if I also do this myself in a browser with the project files, the code also works as expected.
I can't continue properly now as I can't complete the challenge.

div { overflow: auto; }

3,117 PointsYes, Stephen Clarke-Keating . Try with "overflow: auto;", which does the same thing. If I remember well, the question says that it has to scroll only when "it's needed", so auto fits perfectly.
