Overlay was good with black background, doesn't work with rgba values.

My overlay was working when the background was black and the display wasn't none. Now I changed the background to rgba(0,0,0,0.7) just like in the video, and put display: none; at the end. Doesn't work. What could be the problem?

<code>

overlay {

background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
display: none;

} </code>

Edit: I checked the console and got this error message: Uncaught TypeError: $overlay.show is not a function

This problem is your css "overlay". overlay is the one "ID". you try write #overlay, and refresh your workpaces.

I think I've just got the problem, it seems to been a syntax error, I forgot the pharenteses around the $overlay variable's value.

Josue Polo, There is the # tag, only the forum form makes it disappear. I'm still kind in trouble to post codes into treehouse forums. Btw. I managed to find to problem. :) Thanks, have a nice day!
