Thanks! Worked for me to remove everything between the body tags! Sweet!

Ha, thanks! Worked for me, too. Got those same errors.

Same here. Thanks for the tip.

Ha that’s hilarious, worked for me too.

it works

Thanks for the tip,it works

WOW. Thanks, never would’ve guessed.

Lol. thanks, how did you come to this conclusion? fairly random

As for how I came to that… I kept getting errors with everything else, so I wondered just how it would react to nothing!

really thanks

removed body and passed……-_-|||

Thanks .. it worked

Like everyone says … this guy is right, thanks for the heads-up

good idea

same problem here….thx, it worked.

it just worked!This it a bug!

thanks

I did it and it still didn’t work, until I realize that I had forgotten to put the “-“ in between font and size.

omg ,it works ,how did u find that!!

What does impact mean? I have a problem in excercise 4 getting the third list, which saysChange the font size of the third listed item to 10px and the font to Impact. Make sure to capitalize Garamond, Verdana, and Impact as shown” but what impact are we talking about? I got the code right

uh oh man, impact is a font name! Gotcha now

it works….orz

The chrome browser automatic change the font size to 12px. How should i do?

WORKED…BUT WIERD

Typed it out perfect, everything is reset. This exercise is BS.

Thanks

thanks

what do you mean removed everything between the tags? I believe I have done that but it still doesn’t work. Can someone please clarify?

I think the explanation is flawed in this lesson. He uses the example of of href tags, but href tags inside a paragraph are thus:

Text Linked text

before <p, which is not the case.
He shows you an example of how not to code it without a example of the complete correct code.

Definitely a bug if you ask me. I tried it over and over again in Opera 12.15 and it didn’t work. I pasted the exact same code to a new tab in Firefox and passed immediately. Well, maybe it’s Opera’s fault?! On the other hand: If people are also having probs with Chrome…

Awesome! Thanks for the solution. Anyone at Codecademy that can fix this bug?

I find another reason for the problem of a really weird font-size reported is the chrome set a min and max font-size it support if your font-size is out of the range the browser will adjust itself so you can reset the min and the max level in setting

Crazy. Removing everything within the body really did let me pass. I had been racking my brain for days. Thanks a lot for the tip.

The system is telling me that my font is 16px and it should be 12px but it is set for 12px. This is what I have:

I had an error saying my font was 16px but should be 16px!! Like outbackxi said removing the body lets you pass..

Thank you so much! My code is correct, but it will not accept it!!! Thanks again for such a life saver!

There is a mistake in this code after : font-size: 16px”> I guess it should be font-size: 16px;”> is missing a semicolon try to check it.

Thanks

In the code “color: green” you cannot have the WORD color in the code. You only need the actual color.

sometimes, if you change the font size of your browser, the size of the screen will be NOT TURE. you can 1.reset the font size in browser settings 2.zoom in/out the screen and try Save & Submit Code again

thank goodness. deleting everything between the body also worked for me.

i got this error too

me too

yes it works!

i also got this error

Thanks for the insight. I was stuck for days and when I deleted everything received the that’s correct message. How weird.

i had the same problem so i did it like this:

Big Heading

yeah it doesnt matter where i put it in the “ “ and doesn’t matter what size i change it to. no matter what it still stays 16px instead of changing to 20

actually when i changed the = to a : it worked.

it worked for me too…..kind of annoying

I even tried copying and pasting the correct style and it still didn’t even work!

Have to use this method…

Same here, got same message, removed everything between body tags and worked to pass to next lesson. Working on Chrome.

Same here, didn’t work after reset.

Go to your browser’s settings and make sure in the font settings that your minimum font setting is set to 10px… if not then change it, save & go back to the code. It should pass you then!

On exercise 4/5 in Styling the font! I get the error that the second paragraph contains 16px instead of 12px when, in fact, my second listed item is as shown

So, what do I do?

I reset the code, tried again, and it worked. Not sure what that was about :/

Alexander Curtis Bernal. I have Tried Reset And Reset Again like 800 times now. HELP!

this works for hope it will work for you 2!

Hey Guys, I am stunned at all the votes and comments! Thanks! Anyway here is some help maybe, for you chrome users. Go to settings. In the search box type in font. Click enter. Click on the Custom bar and select a smaller font size. Hope this helps someone.

     	<li style="font-family:garamond;font-size: 16px">This item is big Garamond.</li>

thank you richard. i get it now

Thanks! Got it figured out.

Thanks! It works orz…

This was the only way I could get past this one!

thans.i agreewith u!

I’m got through 2nd lesson by doing this. Now I’m having the same problem with the 4th lesson. Anyone found a way to get a green light?

i reset to the default font value ,it the minimum font size. @waltzingmathile, try fix the font-family name like:
Verdona to Verdana

thanks………. I agree……………… sort of

hello, r you guy`s stuck on font family?

I know!!!!! its

Change another browser may work.Here’s the proof: http://i.imgur.com/AQHZaoo.png

Yep, same problem and I fixed it the same way…by removed everything between the body tags and got a “ Your are Correct” message. There’s definitely a bug in this tutorial. I’ve noticed a few here and there.

Removed everything in the body and it worked! Thanks!

I agree - bug here…says I have 32 size font, but I have 16.

i have the same problem like susan, says i have 32 but i have 16

Thanks,that is a good ideal.let’s remove everything and it will be worked.

This was a tough one but I figured it out, finally!!!

PPl r grumbling as if they pay for this…I’m getting the same problem…if you nkow what you did is right proceed even if it shows an oopa!

It wont let me move to the next level thought I’ve completed the codes correctly

thanks！It worked

thanks to everyone up voting because the stupid thing tells us how to do it wrong, but not right…

I have the same problem

I have the same problem as tim, tried it in chrome, firefox, and safari, still it wouldn’t accept the code I put into the prompt.

Yes,Me too

Wow! 100 votes! I feel like I’ve gone viral! Thanks everyone!

Congrats on getting 100 votes! Not sure anyone else has gotten that much…

Thanks, Maerik.

Did the same thing ad it passed hope it was right

for me the problem was different, i had changed the color of the

Big heading

but i believe that’s wrong you should put a or a

It works after i followed the correct code from Eric Weinstein, i.e

Now it’s 106. People apparently like your coding. You should post more solutions to coding things…

You have some spacing errors. I had the same problem until I corrected my coding with the following:

A giant bear and a little duck were friends.

But the bear got hungry and ate the duck.

So just fix your spacing and it should accept your code.

Note: I didn’t indent so don’t copy/paste

Thanks Maerik; I do post code occasionally. Lol Colten; My spacing should have passed. The problem is if your browser font-size is not at a compatible setting, it wouldn’t let you pass.

Have decided not to comment anymore, but just let me say congrats on getting this many votes, and I like you’re picture. It reminds me of Kootra, who has this character named Caticus Meowicus(Mount and Blade: Warband; YouTube series).

Cade, I could be wrong, but I think you don’t need the

before the <p style tag.

thanks!!!!!! remove all the codes between body tag is OK

Glad that I can help out.

I remove all the codes between body tags,but this way doesn’t work for the course “FONT FAMILY”

Thanks, it worked.

WOW, it did works,thank you ! ,

Glad I could help you folks out.

It’s sure!!!! It’s very useful…

It worked!!! Thanks #smiles

your welcome.

Worked like a charm, thank you!!!

Thank you Tim Mullins! I spent 37 arduous minutes on 9/16 in HTML Basics II!!

it work, thank you.

thanks! that worked.

Fantastic,you’re brilliant!

omg can’t believe that worked!!

Really Thaks

Immense. Good work!

I can’t believe it! It works, man!

Don’t know why, but it works! Thanks!

Eric, Thank you!! super helfpul!!

I can’t believed it actually worked… Thanks for the advice!

definitely a bug!!! thanks, tim!

Thanks Eric! I change the font setting in my Chrome browser and it did work. All you need to do is to go to Chrome setting.Advanced setting>Web Content>Customize Fonts>Minimum font size>slider to 10. That is all. It works

Thanks Tim! The only way I was able to pass was my deleting everything between the body tags and it said “Correct.”

My minimum font size is set to 6 already. I had to do a delete body content to get a pass.

HI, I think the way they explaining nesting in this lesson is more confusing than most, given that the correct examples provided don’t actually finish the nest (it just gives this…

… which doesn’t show what to do with the text. If it had your complete correct example above, that would probably lessen a lot of the confusion. Thanks!

Thanks Guys for all the comments!

I did the same thing. I had set a font size of 16px but it stated that I had 32px. I then removed everything between the body tags and got the same results you did.

I got the exact same: 16px, says it’s 32px… something’s messing up. I’ve com-0 and everything.

There are bugs all throughout the system. on lesson 12 of HTML basicsIII, It asked to add a

Thank you!

Oops, try again! Did you set the first paragraph’s font-size to 10px? It look s like it’s 12px. (If you’re getting a weird decimal font size, check the Hint.) why.i think i am right. I really type as rules

On 9/16, I wrote the code below in Internet Explorer and it worked fine, then opened codecademy in Chrome and it Errored on me. Nobody likes it, but maybe use IE.

I’m currently working on lesson 10 of 16 on HTML Basics II (Specifically Font Family) and it keeps telling me that my second

worked 4 me I am on next lesson, deleted and dint work! HELP!

Think there some bugs with the program i running on Chrome when i try to change the font size to 10 px its stated this “Oops, try again! Did you set the first paragraph’s font-size to 10px? It looks like it’s 12px. (If you’re getting a weird decimal font size, check the Hint.)”

Even do i have try it many time its keep giving the same message

im having the exact same problem as these 2 ^ it keeps telling me that it ‘’looks like your first paragraph is set to 16px’’ when its written 10px

When i type in this code

Ok its seems to work on Safari but seem not work on chrome When i type in this code

For those of you having the problems where your code is correct but not changing the size - what worked for me was putting a dash between font and size - so it would look like: style= “font-size: 12” instead of : style= “font size: 12”

worked for me too!genius!haha

I had the same problem and I guess you jsut resolved it. Thanks! Does that mean that I’ll have to put a dash everytime I’m using Chrome?

Thanks!

I had the same problem and I guess you jsut resolved it.

Denise- I believe you should put a dash regardless of what browser you’re using. In general, when not writing things such as headers, paragraphs, etc., you should use dashes instead of spaces (i.e. font-size, font-family, inline-block, margin-left, etc.)

good point dcgoss! I don’t think html will work without the dash in those objects.

I think that’s correct tim! :D

hey guys you got another trick on your hat? cleaning up between

Could you post your code himiracles?

himiracles; sometimes it can be the browser that you are using. I use Chrome for most of the exercises. You can also try resetting the browsers’ minimum font-size to ten. There are several post on here already about how himiracles; sometimes it can be the browser that you are using. I use Chrome for most of the exercises. You can also try resetting the browsers’ minimum font-size to ten. There are several post on here already about how to do that.

thanks, tim, am also using chrome. i’ll see if re-setting the font-size will help. hi Derek, here below is my code:

@derek, (sorry, tim) i made a mess with the above post. here again is my code:

@Jiji Rentsch, it appears to me that you are forgetting the colon between font-size and your value (i.e. “font-size: 16px” as opposed to “font-size 16px”). Give that a shot and see if it helps. If not - I’m here all week;)

I’m sorry for intruding but I’m having the same problem and I used a colon… Here’s my code:

NEVERMIND!!! I got it! You have to erase everything though… it’s rather sill but codecademy accepts it all… it’s a pain but it’s worth it :) onward with zeh lessons!

Glad that you solved it Emily, but I have an alternative solution that might be less of a hassle - if you copied that code directly from your lesson I believe that your problem may be as simple as spelling. You spelled font “fonr”! You also spelled font-family “font-famil”. Not totally sure about this one, but putting a space between your style type (font-family:, font-size:, etc.) and your value (12px, Verdana, etc.) may also resolve the issue. (i.e. font-size: 12px as opposed to font-size:12px)

Sorry, my example at the end got cut-off. It should be (i.e. font-size: 12px as opposed to font-size:12px). Notice the space! haha

I removed everything between and it worked. Big bug! lol. Who would’ve thought it would work? lol

I also got the same bug and solve it by removing everything between

@Derek - thanks so much for your patience and help…i’ve tried everything but it just doesn’t work - so am giving up….this is just too frustrating….i’ve tried java as well and the same thing happened….so i guess goodbye codeacademy!!!!

yup- remove everything between tags and click save and submit. Worked like a charm. We know our code is right, just gotta do that to move on

@Jiji - don’t do it! we’re so close to fixing this! I will post my code that worked and see if it helps

http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=2fba629 —– everybody check this code. It worked for me using chrome

I removed everything between the body tags and got That’s Correct!

Oh my god,thank u awesome body!It works!

Me too!

Same deal bro, thanks

thanks

reset，then it is OK.

thanks

how crazy is that!! Removing everything between the body tags worked for me too. Ok, not a great learning experience…

it is work!

sadly that worked- maybe it has something to do with me using iPad to code!

yea there is a bug i deleted everything from the body and it accepted my coding event hough i had it correct.

Same here.

Mine is the same as everyone’s. The most frustrating error, if I was to pick, is “looks like your first

I am having exactly the same problem in both Firefox and Chrome, Codecademy really needs to fix this!! Super annoying problem!!

I had no problem .-.

yes! i cant get past this “level” and i do believe i have it in right!

yeah. It still not working. I think there is a bug.

tim mullins: nice trick

same thing happened to me on the “font size” level i just emptied bodies ang got correct!

This page is bugged, just bypass the page by going up to where it says “HTML Basics II” and using the drop-down box to move on to section 11/16

mine is saying it looks like i coded it as 16 px but it’s coded properly as 20px. I can’t get by it.

did you reset your browser’s zoom to 100%?

I figured out the issue. The instructions could be a bit more clear. bugsy90 try removing the open tag after the style tag

I have the same problem. My code wouldn’t work in Opera, so I tried it in Firefox, and it worked immediately !

Thanks for the tip on the weird font size. You saved me much frustration. Fortunately I came to you after having this problem pop up twice.

I think so.I tried so many times.At last ,I took away all codes between and then system accepted.

I’m having the same problem! I’m using Firefox as well.

oops!! Just figured it out! I was leaving the colon out after “font-size”.

that’s it?it took me an hour just thinking how can i get this correct….uh…stressed…

sorry to be beating a dead horse but i’ve encountered the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and the way to pass is to just take out everything in the body tags. strange.

same problem

Same

просто вместо р поставить р1

I have same problem

dont forget to type the “ - “ in “font-size”!! I made that mistake and got the same error as you :$, now it works fine!! :)

there is a ! clone is missing after the duck !

Alrighty then. It is telling me that my 10px looks like 16px but when I do ctrl -0 nothing happens. I use Firefox. It also doesn’t do anything if I do ctrl and the scrolly thing on my mouse, which is how I usually zoom in and out. Solutions? Also all my fonts look the same size. Thanks!

Thanks

it keeps telling me my 10 is a 16 and that the V in Veranda is capitalized when it IS. There is a problem with this lesson, it can’t recognize what it should be able to recognize!

Yes, very annoying problem. I’m being told that my font size is 15.555556297302246px when it’s clearly 16px.

thanks so so so much, it’s work ! WOOW

crap, my error keeps tellin me that my font is 32 when it’s 16 :(

I’m also getting this “Oops, try again. It looks like your header’s font-size is 32px instead of 16px.” I’ve reset the code about ten times and though I CAN possibly be stupid enough to type in the wrong code every single time, I doubt everyone else with this problem is typing in the wrong code, too. I’ve also zoomed in and out, reset the zoom and cursed silently in my head. If I begin hurling invectives out loud, should that do the trick? I don’t want to frighten people…

Am I missing something here?

Big Heading

A giant bear and a little duck were friends.

But the bear got hungry and ate the duck.

Ugh. I cleared the body and it let me pass with a “Way to go!” At least I can move on. Sigh…

It’s a bug need to be fixed.

Thanks mate. removing everything between body tags works. :)

remove does work, thx~

Definitely a bug. Removal just to move onto next lesson, thanks!

And I have the same problem, but I fix it when I removed averything between body tags.

same problem

Having the same problem. This code:

<h1 style="color:green;font-size 16px">Big Heading</h1>

is getting me a message that my heading is size 32 and therefore incorrect.

I removed everything between the body tags as suggested and apparently, ‘That’s correct!’

After removing everything from between the body, I get the same message Correct – bug in the program.

Also the same problem.In the 8 and 9 practice of Html Basics 2,my code is:

,but I got a error message which told me the font size is 12px instead of 10px.And i find if the pixel in your code is below 12,then you will get the same error message.Hope to update the system soon.

Poorly worded introduction. Give me a clearer example of the CORRECT structure, not 2 examples of what not to do (I can come up with those on my own).

Same prob :(

I am having the same problem, way to ruin my day off I took to spend this time learning this stuff :(

I’m having an issue where any font size below 12px shows up as 12px. I’ve attempted to change the zoom size and not success. I know the syntax of the line is correct because my other two lines are correct and formatted the same.

Same here. Resetting the font size does nothing. It shows I’m at 100% font size, don’t know what else to do. Just want to proceed because I know I have it right.

i’m having an issue my editor shows an error indicating i have put up a font size of 16px when in reality its 20px…i cant procced because of the error and i know i have it right… its annoying

YUP! I’ve tried Chrome, Firefox, even Internet Explorer. Nothing works! Resizing does not work. I’ve been to the local library to use their PCs and contacted my wife a work to have her try. Still NOTHING! Going on a couple of days now!

I am having the same problem, where it says i’m at 16px even thought it’s clearly 20px and I’ve resized and everything. The completist in me in not happy about this.

I am also having this problem….Woh woh wohhhhhh

I had the same problem, so I deleted the whole body and it passed.

Thanks so much tim mullins!!! I know my code was right and just wanted to move on.

Wow, that is so amazing! So OP!!!!!!

I am having the same problem as listed above. Not letting me proceed with training. After I have reviewed the boards here, still no result.

Whoa, there must be a bug in the system or what! Your code looks correct to me, if pressing Save & Submit after you erased all the content between the body tags, and getting a correct answer, actually worked, clearly there’s something messed up here.

Thank you a lot!

I think my code is correct because the colours change on the web. But the exercise says my code is wrong:!DOCTYPE html>

THANK YOU!

THANKS so much. This is stupid and should be added to the hint. “If you are getting this error about your font size being 12 then you should hit cmd-0 on Mac” wtf. Some of the cryptic errors i’ve dealt with on here.

This post helped me. My code does not work in Safari but works on Google Chrome.

I get an error saying “Oops, try again. Did you remember to change the first

I tried out the code a hundred times finally I too deleted everything in the <body.> tags and it worked showing way to go!. Lol

It’s wrong for me as well. I have it correct. The validator has a bug. Too bad you can’t skip a lesson.

Nothing wrong with this -

hey guys!! just press ctrl+0 on your keyboard once. {control+zero}.. it will work

The bear and the duck story is sad

I can’t get pass HTML Basics II 9/16. Ctrl+0 does nothing for my chrome browser. I tried to fiddle with the chrome font settings, which resulted in changing the size of the pixels, but I still couldn’t get it to 16px. How do I get pass this lesson?

am stuck in HTML Basics II 8/16. font size thing i cant change the pixel

I agree with assault, there seems to be a bug that prevents you from continuing with the right answer.

I agree, there is some thing wrong with this exercise and just a waste of time. I find with all other languages initial few chapters go smoothly then, I stuck as in this one.. This is very frustrating

I have the same problem

same i too get

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

Here. Steph ‘s answer worked: Hello, in exercise 8. Font size you see the example:

Use font-size instead of size (incorrect name of the property).

and

Use Verdana instead of Veranda (font name misspelled).

Do you understand me?

I changed font size to font-size.Solves it. I’d been stuck awhile.

same problem!!

It works !!Thank you!! It’s so funny :D

My computer is saying that my 16px is 32px and it’s really weird.I really think it’s a bug,because I’ve tested every other way it could have been wrong and it’s still saying the heading is 32px.Could someone please tell me what the hay is wrong with it?

I am having problem with the font style . It gives error like “ Did you remember to change the first

The problem got fixed, Don’t worry .

The same here!!!

It said that my 20px looked like 16px. I have reseted the browser a bunch. It is not working.

Nothing I try is working.

Nothing is working for me either. I tried reordering the styling sequence. taking out and inputting various other things. but still no luck.

me too,always tells me”it looks like it’s 12px” what’s the problem.Here’s my sentence:

Some text for you to make tiny!

The same thing happened like Bill…..Tried Crtl-0, tried set encoding and turned on auto detect. Neither works.What the world is going on???

So frustrating, I’ve tried everything and it won’t pass me when there’s clearly something buggy.

I don’t know if this is correct but I just dropped the closing tag completely and I was given pass. Like this:

some text for you to make tiny!>

thx!

get passed by deleting everything btw , Thanks Eric J Stover

Nothing is working for me! Is there any way to move on without getting a pass because this just wont pass me no matter what I do!

I’m having the same issue. I can’t move past this lesson even though my code is correct:(

I have the same problem and will try your trick.

The trick didn’t work for me. I just skipped onto the other lessons.

make the code like

hujf99’s trick works for me!

huif99’s trick works for me too!Another way is delete all of it and it will pass!

hufj99’s trick worked for me too. It doesn’t look quite right; the 40px was displaying the same as the 20px size using a Chromebook…but it was accepted.

It worked when I zoomed the browser to 150%, and nothing need to be changed.

@LitLiao is Right

@LitLiao smart one

@LitLiao his method works

@Litliao is Right!!!!! ><

Removed the “<p” tags. Just like previous posters said, it works. Weird.

thanks for teh help dan

Yup definitely a bug. REMOVE THE

TAGS and it works ….

Try to remove everything between body tags like the guy above recommends.It happened to me too but this solution works,How unbelievable

weird, removing the <p at the beginning made the output incorrect but let me move on tot he next lesson

Tried what you did and removing the p tag surprisingly gets you past this.

Try it like this:

Excellent tip..much thanks!

Thanks bro! worked for me!!

Thank god removing the code between the body tags worked because my brain was about to explode. Recommend it to all! Definitely saves you an hour of pointlessly playing with the settings.

YOU HAVE TO PUT FONT FAMILY BEFORE FONT SIZE!!!!OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK!!

Hc333 thanks it definitely worked!

Thanks Omar!

Hc333 is right. YOU HAVE TO PUT FONT FAMILY BEFORE FONT SIZE!!!!OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK!!

text > *First letter of the font should be capitalize, to check if it change try other fonts example: Impact, Garamond. *don't put

did not work. Try putting/using

If you are using Safari make sure the Accessibility checkbox is unchecked in the Advanced Preferences tab. Accessibility will force all fonts to be no smaller than 12pt or whatever size you have (or haven’t) specified.

dont forget dash between font and size.it will look like this…font-size

Thank you Volitioner! That’s why it kept telling me I put in the wrong font size!!!

Same here

Thanks for the reminder!

delete everything between ,bingo

Same problem! Anyone know how to do this??

I just got thi error for no aparent reason. Resseting the code and wrting it back again should solve it. At least it worked for me.

I had this same problem! I’m going on the 5th time rewriting the code with no luck.

For those of you having the problems where your code is correct but not changing the size - what worked for me was putting a dash between font and size - so it would look like: style= “font-size: 12” instead of : style= “font size: 12”

Have the same problem there is a bug in this course >:(

I also have the same problem, I’m doing everything right and I have even tried looking at my Chrome settings, to no avail. HELLLPPP!!!

Derek, I am finding this forum very useful. Thank you. BUT after the numbers it says to place a px. mine looks like this:

That’s absolutely correct Gabriella! My mistake - glad you caught it. I didn’t copy and paste from my code so when I typed it I just forgot to add in the px or em at the end.

Glad to be of service..

remove everything between tags worked for me!

me, too!!it works !! big bug,lol:P

It works too buggy

what???????????????????????????????

Same problem for a web site that teaches coding this is very buggy code. I am beginning to think they want money to continue!!!!!

It’s not buggy. You guys are just overlooking your own mistakes.

Tips: Make sure you don’t add a

before

because p style already accounts for your paragraph. As well, make sure you are using equals signs in the right places, and semi colons in the right places font-size is always followed by a semi-colon, while style is always followed by an equal sign

Also make sure you use ‘px’ after your font size

Was typing “x” instead of “px” after the font size. Thank you Majishaikhlive. Just took a second look.

I agree with Maji Shaikh - check my code as a reference if you need it: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=2fba629

make sure you type a “dash” between “font” and “size” (font-size) not (font size)

Oh, I left a space bw number and px…. got it correctly now.

This how you code should look like “

“Some text for you to make tiny!”> “ Remove this “ ; “ at the end of “ 10 px” due that its preventing your text to changing size.

yay I’m in the conversation now ^_^

The same thing happened to me, I copied a code and it worked. But I wonder why this happens?

awesome! thnks! awesome! thanks

Here is the solution: You need to delete Everything (including your edited paragraph) between . Your code is probably correct, there is a bug in the lesson. Hope it worked!

reset the code and rewrite everything, if there is any error rewrite that line again. This is my code:

mine says it is 20px instead of 20px???

I was having the same problem and was getting really frustrated. The dash between “font” and “size” did the trick! Thanks, guys! :)

Yes! The solution is the dash! haha thanks froilan

BIG THANKS! that dash did it. Very elusive indeed.

I zoomed the browser to 150%, it’s OK ! @LitLiao is Right! thx!

For all people who don’t want to read it al this stuff cause there are a lot of comments. :D

Please check your code again. Even spaces can sometimes mess it up. Maybe your zoom of your browser is not proper configurated fix this by holding the control button and your mousewheel or the plus or minus button.

Also other people see the solution in deleting some parts well it is perfectly possible to write the code without deleting parts. :D If still everything fails see the code below. Or copy the code from the instructions and addapt the code :D

Right code:

There is still a bug with this part.. I copied the “garromand referenced” and it worked! Try it!

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

I have done the dash

make sure to use a COLON between the style and attribute.

“font-size : 12px “

I just deleted the , and it works.

OH MY GOD! Finally! Thank you!

I’m such an idiot oh my gosh

Thank you, you’re great

Me too !

Ah yes, relief at last! A very clear explanation, thank you!

thanks for the help

THANK YOU! I didn’t know the

before the <p style was not needed.

Thanks a lot Diana, i was very confused about this lesson!!! Concerning

wow nice course… they added an effing component to this lesson that wasnt even supposed to be there! and plus he said that it would work with the additional

at the start but it sure as hell did… thanks by the way diana… i was in like a mind fuck

and also sorry bout the language… i just have a heavy deadline for learning the language

Finalllyyyyy it worked after spending almost an hour scratching my head !

First, thank you Diana. Why don’t they make it this simple with the instructions? Even the ‘hint’ at FONT SIZE, 02/05 is a repeat of the instructions! More about what ‘not-to-do,’ rather ‘what-to-do’!The experts can code alright, but spectacularly fail with the explanation and instructions.

Bingo. Diana and anil hit the nail on the head here. For better pedagogy here don’t include the “what not to do” if it’s drastically different from the “what to do”, or else it isn’t helpful at all. Humans look to the mistakes to see what needs to be done. Spotting the mistake was more effort than it needed to be.

A proper example should’ve included “what to do” as part of the initial code, like the ordered/unordered list lessons.

This was so helpful!!!!!!! I did not understand the answer to the problems that the hint and instructions proposed. Without this I would have had no idea

I had the exact same problem! Had to do like above (remove everything in the body) and THEN it worked.

Yep…..

it seems chrome made the min size to 12,when i type 10, it told me my font-size is 12. firefox can pass the exercise

big thanks! lesson wording needs rework, maybe? it’s the style attribute nested inside the “p” tag.

The lesson wording is confusing. Up to this point in the lesson excercise NO where does it say drop the opening tag or even SHOW an example of how the nestle tag would look. In previous lessons their were examples. So, to assume that all of the sudden an opening tag will not be need is confusing for the user. No where else did we drop an opening tag so why think you would do this now!?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I don’t mean to be a stickler but are you trying to tell me that <p style accounts for two openings in one commands and yet I still have to close style and paragraph with two separate commands? This seams totally confusing when the cardinal rule is to open and close everything?!?

Finally….. lol I guess this does make since, But it is very confusing when it did not mention it anywhere in the lesson, I’m sure they will correct soon. Thanks!

I’m sure they just figured that is would be common sense

Thanks for the info. Yes, I was very confused that the lesson did not mention it. I hope they correct soon! Thanks once again!

Very confusing it took me forever to figure it out. I thought

was a command by it self like the img tags, but it is combining two commands together. It is combining

with style tag to get <p style, so you have to delete the auto

tag the is set on the default lesson. Yes I agree, they don’t tell you it is two tags, they explain it like they do every other tag as independent and don’t mention that seemingly small detail which makes a HUGE difference. The worst part about it, it because it is a small but exponentially important detail, it is hard to even understand what you are doing wrong. I hope they fix it.

Thanks for the explanation! It finally let me finish that section after removing the

tags

Yes, agree with y’all. It needs to be more clear that

takes the place for

, or at the very least,

shouldn’t automatically pop up there. Unless this is one of those “debugging” lessions. Hmph.

This solved my problem. Thanks

me too!

Thanks:3

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

Thanks it worked!!

Thanks this is the only thing that worked. I think there’s a bug somewhere.

Thank you! It helped a lot.

at this point its obvious to me that either someone fucked with the site or we shouldnt be learning this from these people

thank you!

thanx. workz!

it works

Yeah it works, but that’s still not correct, right? Is there a bug in the program?

thanx!!!it works!

Just tried it, it worked for me too.

Lesson 4 Google Chrome error fix.

Just worked for me too

Thank you! I actually got the error “Oops, try again! Did you set the first paragraph’s font-size to 20px? It looks like it’s 20px.”

Awesome man thanks

Thanks! it worked for me as well. There was no way to get rid of the error: “Oops, try again. It looks like your second ‘s font-size is 16px instead of 12px.” I had to delete all the opening tags fro

Thanks 64 pts

Daniel Takagi

Daniel you are my life saver

Thanks works for me too.

Thanks Daniel! But now what do i do to get the Ordered list? Will i just have to leave it out?

Legend. Thanks.

Why?! Just a bug?

Thank you!

Thank You !

Thanks so much for this!

Thanks a ton!

obrigado amigaooo

Thank you, but the display preview displays the entire code, is this correct?

Thanks

I tried this code too, as I could not for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong. Thank you! The code displayed on my screen as well.

Wow awesome. I glad I was able to help out. Ya there must be a bug in the system. With all the discussion in this Q&A I’m sure the admin have taken notice by now. surprised it’s still not fixed yet - but since this is a free site I guess you can expect these things to be fixed right away - limited resources and all.

Hello, in exercise 2 Font Size, the code worked correctly, however the question of the size of the source is giving you problems, when I change the default font size in Google Chrome for the first paragraph of 10px style works however others do not. How do I fix the error?

a BIG thank you, it worked! I removed the <li tags. MERCI!

It worked for me 2,, but still didn’t know wht wazzz D error!!!

Hi Everyone, I finally figured it out.! Try taking out the title, so leave it as so

Thanks Nick. Took me about 30 mins to figure out wtf was the problem!

Thanks Nick you saved my day!

thanks Nick!! I would have never guessed that’s what it was. Although I don’t understand why we did that?

It changed for me, but for some reason it won’t allow me to submit because “It looks like you changed some of the provided code”

This is so confusing. Obviously there’s a but. I keep getting the looks like your second paragraph’s font-size is 16px instead of 10px” message even when I change the font to 3 or 0 - redoing the coding on the first line fixed it, but not on the second

I just tried Chrissy’s fix - removing the p tag before the second line. it fixed it, except everything is under the first line style. this is not helping me feel confident about css. at all.

Daniel Takagi - thank you so much! It finally worked!!!!!!!

But it doesn’t work for me…

copy pasted code above. doesn’t work any more.

doesn’t work anymore

the code above is really unformatted. the only reason you get these problems are errors in your code (ie spacing was my problem)

Dude srry to tell u this does not work anymore but thanks for trying :3

Obrigado!

Hi ! I found error ! This is a problem: Your Internet Browser ! I was work on Opera and this error has started, now when i use mozilla, this disappear

I get this error in Firefox. :(

There is a bug

A big bug >:(

am on 8/16 been trying all the suggestions here, but just won’t work….so what does this mean…stuck forever and no way to continue? shame…it takes away the enthusiasm out of wanting to learn how to code… :(((

Such is the life of a programmer! It will try your patience sometimes.

I posted everything as:

And it worked perfectly. I think the issue is too many quotes.

thanks Glenn…i tried your suggestion…didn’t work! :(‘ … i guess got to just forget this until they fix the bug. maybe i’ll try learn to code in another language…

remove everything between worked for me.

tim! ur a genius….hahahahaha!!! i removed everything tried and tried and tried and tried. nada. then i removed everything again - did nothing anymore and just clicked save and submit. it worked!!!! hahahahaha!!! is this a joke or what?

thanks alot GOD BLESS

The correct solution is download de fonts to your computer

why you do not put the

Removing ‘<li’ caused and error. Telling me I changed some of the original code and to hit ‘reset code’.

haha! I removed it also and right away- That’s Correct! Thanks Tim!

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU ARE THE SAVIOR OF MY LIFE. WITHOUT YOU I CANNOT LIVE.

why is that happening? I just started and got this problem, do we acctually learn something from that? Tim gave us an aswer but, i didnt learn nothing from it.. but anyway.. .thanks Tim! :D

opps not working :/

this is the only thing that allowed me to proceed from the font size error messages.

This worked for me! Thanks, buddy!

very frustrating, I keep getting an error mesage when I know I’m right.

That is strange. I’m having the same problem. >_>

I don’t know have you noticed but you don’t have : between font-family and Verdana. I’m pretty sure it won’t solve the problem thought, but still. I’ve the same problem and would be nice if someone would make a correct version out of this -.-

Try this….

You need colon’s after font-size

Thank you Xlayadre. That worked. It kept telling me I had the wrong size font.

Thx, Xlayadre!

I can not get it to submit. I had the same issue. Then when I reset and submitted, the “save and submit” button did not show but a blue button with a gear image on it.

Ditto here. Moving on to the next lesson. There must be a bug

I did not give up. Re did it with the idea that we will get it to recognize that it is 16px and then convert with a 10px and it worked. This is what I did to fix the bug loop:

This worked thanks!!

I am having this same problem, but I don’t understand completely how to fix it. Help?

Brad D use:

Ok, thanks, got it to work.

Badly, need a fix to get the loving the change font exercise change…

@ djohndoe: it didn’t work for me… keep recieving the exact same message. I’ve been trying for a day, almost :(

What have you placed exactly. So I can understand what you are doing.

Ana try the following:

Make sure you have “;” at the end of each “px” to close out the px for that line. Good luck.

There is no bug after all. Found the solution:

@I feel hopeless ,there must be a bug ,help???I have tried all you said and it doesn’t work…..

Sometimes closing and refreshing the browser page or using another browser works. It seems to me that Chrome works best for most exercises.

Thanks Ana, that finally worked for me!!

thankx xlayadre.

this worked for me :

1. This item is big Garamond.
2. This item is medium Verdana.
3. This item is small Impact.

“font-size: 12pm” ???

I have the same problem:

That’s exactly what I did and exactly what I get!!!

There are bugs all throughout the system. on lesson 12 of HTML basicsIII, It asked to add a

make the body tag clean, then it works !!!

You are missing a few : thats where I went wrong I had font-size=16px instead of font-size: 16px

i have exactly the same problem. i’ve got the code right cuz i see that the preview is showing the fonts correctly but i keep getting the same message the the 2nd paragraph has 16px and not 12px. i’ve tried all the tricks i’ve seen here but nothing works. am stuck…anybody there who could help?

Same problem NO HELP. Who do you have to FUCK to be able to move on?

SAME pinch friendsssss …………………

Also stuck on this. Code is correct. What a load.

the same bug

YOur Code Should look like this

1• You miss “font-size :” without the colon it won’t able to change the font size. its common people miss stuff, me too some time miss stuff

Mohamed is correct, I was getting the same error and couldn’t see my mistake, thanks for that.

I just reset,save,and right.

i reset my chrome the smallest font size to 10pt, and then i passed it…

I copied this code and am still getting the you must capitalize the G in Garamond error message

im still stuck with this problem. Any other suggestions?

I was missing the : after font-size as well. Solved my problem!

mine DOES read like that it won’t recognize a zero or capital letters

I’m stuck at this place, and removing all tags between the

Yikes. Finally got it to work, by zooming in to make browser font huge; after getting an error, I reset browser to actual size, hot save and submit again and .. it took! Prior to that, resetting to Actual Size did nothing.

I had the same problem. I used xlayadre’s code and it worked. its a bad bug.

thanks!I found the answer in comment

Thank you!

You are forgetting the colon between font-size and 12px.

Make sure to have a colon between pixel size and font-size that way the program can read it.

Don’t forget about the colons

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

Thank you Mohamed! The hardest part for me is learning the syntax but it’s clicking now. I appreciate your detailed answer and example. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

thanks man, it works

Thanks

just skip it

so people dont wanna skip it :P

I return to the font size lesson, press save & submit code, then on the font color lesson I wrote again everything and I’m way to go to next lesson.

Thank you

I cut and pasted the above code and it worked for me! I am frustrated, aggravated, and relieved.

I had the exact same code but for some reason copying and pasting that in worked, weird bug

Ahh forgot the dash between font and size. Thanks!

Thanks this helped with the font size exercise, but still getting an error message for the 40px font size saying it looks like 16 (and to be fair it does). Tried the CTRL-0 buttons and nothing, so how else can I reset my font sizes?

Ok, found the error - it was a human typo :)

Wow, dude I forgot to close the

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

Thnx

Hi, I was having exactly the same problem. In Chrome (Settings –> advanced –> customize fonts) I found that the minimum font size was set to 12px. When I changed it to 10px, the code was accepted.

thank you!

thank you!

@Nitanz thanks! that worked for me :)

thank you! I think it will be written in the hint.

Same problem in safari. How would I fix this?

thank you @Nitanz

thanks, it works for me.

Thanks a lot, really helps.

Oops, try again! It looks like your first

Thank you, Nitanz!

I was having a similar problem, but mine was with the larger text. There isn’t a maximum size in Chrome’s settings. I ended up copying and pasting the code from my middle section and replacing the unresponsive code. I double checked it out several different times… no noticeable difference. This worked, though!

@Nitanz,thank you very much!

@Nitanz cool,that the problem.

I have no idea to fix this problem.

if you still cant fix it try

some text for you to make tiny

zoom to the biggest and this will be solved,just have a try

i typed the code exactly like this:

Some text for you to make tiny!

@Nitanz Thank you a lot !

ZOOM TO BIGGEST! it’s works. to @Samuel1103: Thanks a lot. The css property “font-size” here is a critical bug …

thank you!!!

I am still having trouble for whenever I change the font size on my chrome setting its finding an error and I get this message:

Oops, try again! Did you set the third paragraph’s font-size to 40px? It looks like it’s 20px. (If you’re getting a weird decimal font size, check the Hint.)

thanks @samuel1103 …But this problem is really strange!

You might have to goto your browser settings and uncheck any boxes that say never use font less than.

same problem here

same problem here Thank u!

I use Chrome and had to add the extension for advanced font settings. The minimum font is 11 so if you use Google Chrome you have to change it- I just put it at 6 (the smallest option). Thanks Tony!

Set the minimum font for 10px

Just change the h1 tag to p tag it works

@ginalowen Thank you!

Mine said 16 instead of 12, even though it was 12…

Ok, to fix this; youu need to take away the tag before the code. I know it is not right, but the system accepts it as correct

I inspected the element in the full screen and it says everything is correct.

Which tag gets removed?

yes this happened to me also. what the heck do I do?

maybe you can try check the Ctrl and + to enlarge your browser

yip I got the same…weird???

Oops, try again! It looks like your second

Still no answer for this !

Try this <li style="font-size:16px; font-family:Garamond"></li>
                         <li  style="font-size:12px; font-family:Verdana"></li>
     <li style="font-size:10px; font-family:Impact"></li>

^this worked

whats wrong in these colour is not getting changed freind

A truly spectacular paragraph!

Try “color” ansimuskan.

If this helps, I’ve been trying this <p style=”10: 10px” I just noticed that once I did <p style=”font-size: 10px” everything worked. You need to type “font-size” and not put 10. LOL hope that helps anyone with that error.

I just changed the

tag to

tag and it accepted it. Just removing the

tag all together wasn’t good enough for me cause it showed the code.

WHEN the fuck are they gonna fix all these f!=)(!cking BUGGGSSS ?!?!

I have this problem, too. I solved this problem by zoom the web browser and reset the browser font setting, for the default smallest font-size of the browser is 12px.

Thank you very much,Haodong!I solved my problem by your way.

Try setting everything like this:

Haodong, how exactly do you “zoom the web browser and reset the browser font setting”?…….I’m having problem with this exercise that may be helped by doing what you say to do, but I do not know how to do as you say…..

Hey Mark, In Chrome click on customize and control Google Chrome in the upper right corner, click on settings, in the search box… type ‘fonts’, click customize fonts and move the Standard font bar to about size 12. I think this is what others have meant. Hope it helps.

i have reset the browser zoom but its still giving me the same error message Oops, try again! It looks like your third

omg tim mullins i use chrome too, did what you suggested and it worked!!! Thanks so much #dancing

I change the chrome settings and now got this:

Oops, try again! Did you set the third paragraph’s font-size to 40px? It looks like it’s 20px. (If you’re getting a weird decimal font size, check the Hint.)

Hel00055’s suggestion worked for me. But how the hell should I get to this weird solution on my own?!

i was stucked by 10 minutes trying to change everything when i’m realized that “font size” hasn’t the “-“ :( such a waste of time

Thank you. I tried several of the other suggestions and nothing worked. Then I noticed this and checked my code. Sure enough, no hyphen. Such a simple mistake. Too bad the error message is no help whatsoever.

you’re welcome

lol. did the same thing. I copied and pasted the example and was like “why the heck did that work and not mine?” doh!

thank you…… i just went through all the suggestions but this is the actual solution i do want

thank you! finally fixed my problem, and can now move to the next lesson. Sp error before (ie no hyphen between font & size)

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson: DOH!

This solved the problem of the test thinking you have 16px font when you have 12px font. I had “size:12px” instead of “font-size:12px”. Thank you.

OMG this was totally the problem. I didn’t even see the hyphen! Thanks for pointing this out!

Thx! This helped, forgot the “hyphen”. “font size: 12px” instead of “font-size:12px”. Now it works.

I think the reason of font-size error is that Chrome’s default minx font-size is 12px, therefor the excersizes ask for 10px setting is really unconvienient.

great it worked for me thx dude

Insanely Great!!!!!! I’m afraid this is the ultimate solution for everyone who use Chrome!

I thank you!! I just copied and pasted what you wrote above. It worked. Even though, I had “typed” everything the same and came up with the “Oops, try again! It looks like your second ‘s font-size is 16px instead of 12px.” So the solution for me was to copy and paste the above!

Yeah! Really cool. I came up with this error too. Is there an add on or something?

Altered my Chrome settings for minimum font size to 10px and it worked, yay! Thanks :)

Thank you so much it took two days to figure this out

Thanks man, this fixed the issues for me.

Oh,thank you so much! this completley fixed it!

Is there a similar fix in Firefox?

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you you are a gem, Ive been stuck for two weeks, changing font, colon, space, hyphen, order, reload, different browser, asked questions, no answers, Thank you Thank you Thank you

Really really thanks!

Thank you so much:)

Thanks~finally success !!!!!

So this problem has been going on for months and the only solution Codecademy has offered is “make sure you’re not nesting your tags improperly”. That’s NOT THE PROBLEM, folks. These continual font problems make the HTML lessons useless.

It’s works for me.

I think there is a problem with the way they coded the exercises, or maybe something happened to the site. There are too many size problems to be a single accident.

The same thing happened to me. Is there a way to fix this? I would very much like to finish this damn course!!

Same thing here…I’ve tried removing the tag as suggested above. No go. Ugh.

I cant pass the lesson because of this glitch. :(

Same thing is happening to me. Would love a fix!

I am getting the same error.. Can someone please suggest a solution.. :(

I’m having the same problem when are you people going to fix this bug? I can’t even move on to the next lesson because of this!

I am having the same issue. Please assist.

Same.

Exact same problem, has anyone found a way around it? Ive ctrl 0 / cmd 0’d to reset zoom as hint suggests and it’s just doing nothing!

try this i used google chrome go to settings and then advanced text size customize size 8 text courier new standard text size 40 times new roman

hope this helps

Thank you martin1991. I went into the settings and adjusted the standard font to where it finally passed! LIFE SAVER

I had this same problem. Fixed it with a hyphen between font and size. :) “font size” should be “font-size”.

Thanks dennerj that worked for me.

@codeboy1000 i have the exact same problem.

You would need to put numbers on the paragraphs like

The <p1 style, <p2 style, worked for me…I had tried all the other “fixes

Thanks, this ^ got me through

me2,reset code

it finally works!thanks!

both methods doesn’t work for me!

this worked for me….i take off the “

tks

Yes，i made it in chrome. It`s the same problem.

I did the same thing, I went into Chrome’s setting and fixed the smallest font setting to 10px, and it works. Chrome setting>Advanced Setting>Font size> Customize fonts> Smallest font setting to 10px.

Exactly the right answer!THX!

HA!THx!

I was stuck on this as well and this solution fixed it, thanks fattire99

Thank you, fattire99! That was the problem.

Awesome - thanks!

Thanks! This solved my problem. Had preferences set to 14. Switching it to 10 worked and was able to submit and go to next lesson.

Can you add a note where if your in chrome you have to do what nitanz said “Hi, I was having exactly the same problem. In Chrome (Settings –> advanced –> customize fonts) I found that the minimum font size was set to 12px. When I changed it to 10px, the code was accepted.”

Eric- why does the following code tell receive an “Oops” message that the 2nd <li is 16 instead of 12 when it’s obviously entered as 12:

Hey Christopher, I have code posted above that might help you out.

you should add ; after 10px like this:

NOTHING IS WORKING FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try leaving the body empty, like this …

you can’t leave spaces after the equal!

Finally, I removed everything between the body tags and got That’s Correct!

the program is wrong. leave empty between the body tags

Yes! Julee’s answer is right.Just leave empty between the body tags

hi Christopher,your code is right.You just reset your browser’s zoom to >=150% by pressing “Ctrl +”, then hit the “Save & Submit code” and it will work.My browser is chrome.

I agree 100%. I’m already doing it wrong (I guess) and the only examples and hints given are how to do it wrong. I don’t understand why there isn’t an example of how to correctly nest.

Hey guys; I can understand your frustration. I went through the same lesson and finally passed! As for demanding better teachers… remember this is free stuff. Some things I wish that they would explain better, but you can’t always get what you want. I am glad to get what I get! lol

I really just mean that the course gives you one teacher.. you get used to him… you understand him.. you pass the unit jump into another he’s gone and heres a new guy you don’t understand. I’ve had teachers fired before, but going through multiple teachers and teaching styles is too difficult to do every other unit. Not to meantion free doesn’t mean bad quality. Youtube’s free to watch yet theres lots of good stuff there.

This is free. Why are you complaining? It has its flaws but the general layout is really easy to understand. Remember: What you can’t find here is sure somewhere else out there in the inter-webs!

Free stuff doesnt have to suck her’s my best tip… Screw it

just a punctuation ! it works,shock!

hey everyone! I have a good news for you :) I think somebody also use Chrome but it get erorr in the font-size 10px… but don worry ! you can go to your setting and adjust the font size to become 10! Why we always get error it is because our Chrome’s font size at least at 12px ! My English was bad but I hope I’m pass on this message to you! GOOD LUCK !

@宝石酱 Thank you very much :)

It looks like “style” is misspelled on lines 7 & 8, which may be confusing the SCT. Could you let me know if correcting that fixes it? Thanks! — EW

Sorry about that - but it did not help. https://ustream.box.com/shared/static/yxfo11civ8s8ejz7169j.png additionally I had to change the heading to h2 otherwise when I use H1 it doesnt acknowledge the green

This worked for some reason. https://ustream.box.com/shared/static/gmgg2dojb9jznee134hd.png

I have a similar problem on the font-family exercise. I’ve rechecked all the entries and they are correct, but the tutorial keeps telling me the second line size is wrong and does not register any of the changes in the view window. I’ve insert the style info into other exercises and it worked fine. The program will not show that as “Complete” only as “Started”.

I have the same issue as AOGutierrez: I’m getting an error in the font family exercise. The instructions says to make the second li 12px which i have but the error says I have input 16px - which i have not. I even changed all the font-sizes to 12px but it is still telling me the second li is 16px - fix please :)

Same thing!

Same problem here. Have tried everything and the only one that worked is the remove the code in between the body fix.

thank youuuuu

thanks, it works!

Thanks,it works finally!

Your a Genius bro, that explanation couldn’t have been broken down any simpler.

Ok, tentei esse código e comigo deu certo. Obrigado.

i somehow had forgotten i needed a size with my font. thank you! I was starting to get frustrated!!

i’ve got it…..i thought both will be separate like

Some text for you to make tiny!

This also worked on a PC. Thanks.

That worked, thanks!

agreed

You are right!

if u replace the “10px” with “10 px”, it will work

for chrome

Software Certification Test/Script Correspondence Testing… no clue..

What is your code?

I might be able to help (evan though I have a problem with “Some text for you to make normal size

Obviously the top item works, it doesnt show the code

Neither works in the lesson though

it should be like this: <li style=”font-family: bondoni; font-size: 12px;”

Fatma, you are my freaking hero.

Hey Nathan,

  I have the full page code in the forum above. If that don't work, feel free to try my alternative method. (also posted above)

Thank you tim. It worked!

also I have this error… how did you fix it?

which tags ? Can u paste ur corrected code here ??

I think he means removing everything in the body tags like this:

Then How would it work ?

and then,it becomes too big or too small…still cannot pass.

It worked for me! I scrolled several times to make font sizes right.

Because your browser default settings is 12px, you just reset your browser zoom >=150% by pressing “ctrl +”.

Can’t see your code
