Regarding the quotation marks - does it matter whether the image file is "image.jpg" or 'image.jpg' ?

The code challenge would not let me advance when putting single quote markes (') , but the w3schools website says that single quote marks are fine. Which is correct?

Hi Adam,

I was able to pass with single quote marks.

.box {
  background: #387ABC url('img/mike.png') no-repeat;
}

Perhaps when you did the single quotes you didn't have the path or file name exactly right? It seems to be rare but sometimes people aren't able to pass with a correct answer and it sometimes takes a browser refresh.

To answer your question, both single and double quotes are fine.
