What am i doing wrong?

Question

Hey,

i got stuck with this task, because i am always getting an error. But i can't seem to find out what mistake i made. Here's my code:

/* Write your CSS below */
.wrapper {
    content: url("img/bg.jpg");
}

strong {
    color: initial;
}

p {
    width: 50%;
}

The task says the following: "Using a percentage, set the paragraph to half of its current width."

I think that this is exactly what i did, but somehow it still says i am wrong.

Thx in advance for any help.

Hello, I'm thinking you should be using the background-image element to set the background.

.wrapper {
  background-image: url('bg.jpg');
}

I just completed the same challenge and I got it right. Your problem is that you used "content" instead of background color. See above answer.

This works too. If you want to also have a background color than use background-image & background-color.

.wrapper { background: url (bg.jpg); }
