this works in the dashboard but not on the webpage why

<style> h1 { Color: blue; } </style>

<body> <h1> something lese </h1> </body>

your style tags need to go inside the body tags, but above the h1

<body>
<style> 
 h1 { color: blue; 
  } 
</style>
  <h1> something lese </h1>
  </body>

try using a lowercase c

h1 { color: blue; }

CSS attributes are case insensitive, but the challenge might be expecting you to use color and not Color since using lowercase letters is the convention

If they are case sensitive then why would it work in the dashboard?

also I said they are case insensitive, which means in the browser your code would be correct syntax. However the challenge engine is probably expecting your code to use a lowercase c, and since you used an upper case it said it was not correct (even though technically it was, just against convention)

in order for HTML code to show up well in the forum, you must format it using markdown. Have a look at the tips for asking questions video on the right side of the page to see how to do that, or have a look at this post

ah ok. yeah your style tags need to go inside the body tags but above the h1. that could have been the problem the whole time, or it could have been the capital C in combination with the style tags as well.

also in the challenge you are asked to set the color to green, not blue.
