When adding internal style header {....} for a background color, "header" is highlighted red, so its not rendering.

Have removed the inline style background before, have made no changes, but the treehouse workspace simply does not want to accept my header command in the <style></style> section. Please help!

I just tested in workspaces this code and it's working fine.

Workspace Test

<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge">
        <title></title>
      <style>
        header {
          background-color:red;
        }  
      </style>

    </head>
    <body>
      <header>
        <p>Hello Cat!</p>
      </header>
    </body>
</html>
