Courses Plus Student 632 Pointsquizzes error
doesn't seem like the quiz editor works so well. the preview shows my example as being correct yet it keeps saying it is wrong. for example, you can paste items from stack overflow that can also be verified in any browser as correct, yet the editor will not accept it on the quiz.

What I can say about the code challenges, even if you get a result as expected for the challenge, what the checker is analyzing is your code, and not the "result" (and I think it doesn't exists, because the result is what you expect as a human, not as a machine). Then when you have a bummer, it may mean that you have not the expected code for achieving the code challenge. In my experience, I have to check the videos twice. Good luck :).

Courses Plus Student 632 Pointsthanks giovanni. i will paste the code next time. i am talking about the code challenges. what confuses me is why it says my answer is wrong yet the exact same code displays just fine in any browser.

20,961 PointsYes, it may be confusing ^^.
What I tried to say is, let's say you write someting like:
<p>some text here </p> <p> some other text here</p>
<p> some text here </br> some other text here </p>
In your browser, you'll see the same display, and that's fine. What the code challenger check, is if you write the correct answer (which is the second one). You have the same "result" (again, for your human point of view), but the code is not the same. Am I clear enough? Was it what you needed?
dj shanon
Courses Plus Student 632 Pointsyes, it is all clear now. i will post my code the next time i have a question. thanks giovanni!

39,199 PointsIt's hard for us to know what issue you are having if you don't show us your code. For some tips on how to do that, check out the tips for asking questions video located in the right hand sidebar.
Also without a link to the code challenge you are having issues with someone would have guess which one it is, to be able to test out their solution.
