Here is my code: * { border: 1px dashed #3A5FCD; } Here is the error code: Oops, try again. Make sure that you use the universal selector * to give a border 1px wide. Why and I have tried resetting Zoom that did not change anything. I have cleared my cache and reloaded the page. The only thing I have not done is restart my browser.

The above answer is correct.

It’s a zoom problem. CMD or CTRL minus it and then submit. At some point, it will accept the answer.

I have the exact same thing as you,

* {
    border: 1px dashed #3A5FCD;
}

and it passed in Chrome. Is this the HTML you were provided?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
        <title>Result</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h3>Boxes within boxes!</h3>
        <div>
            <p>Paragraph One</p>
        </div>
        <div>
            <p>Paragraph Two</p>
        </div>
        <div>
            <p>Paragraph Three</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

I still dont understand where i am going wrong!I put the exact same thing.

Because of the unit dimensions in the CSS, the SCT depends upon our browser being at 100% zoom. If it is off by a percentage point either way, the lesson will not pass. Ctrl+0 sets zoom to 100% in Chrome. Other browsers may have a variation on this, but they all have zoom setting.

It would not work for me either when I was using Firefox but worked fine when I switched to Chrome.

I did it in chrome and in safari and it doesn’t work whether I zoom in or out.

The zoom must be at 100%, (Cmd/Ctrl + 0).

Yes Roy is right, set ZOOM 100
