Repeating Gradients

I think i have done everything right, but for some reason nothing shows up on the page

``

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>CSS Gradients</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"></div> </body> </html>

/* ------------------------ Transparent Gradients --------------------------- */

html { height:100%;

}

body { background:-webkit-linear-gradient(hsl(195,15%,44%), rgba(255,255,255,0) 75%), url('bg.jpg'); background-size:cover;

}

.box { width:70%; height:500px; margin:35px auto;

background:-webkit-repeating-linear-gradient(rgba(58,122,187,.8),rgb(43,79,115) 50px);

}

``

any help?

If you're following the video, you need to remove the extra CSS code you have at the top. The only thing in the CSS file should be:

/* ------------------------
    Repeating Gradients
--------------------------- */

.box {
    width: 70%;
    height: 900px;
    margin: 35px auto;
background: -webkit-repeating-linear-gradient(rgba(58,122,187,.8), rgb(43,79,115) 50px);
}

You don't need the html and body selectors above it.
