What fixes this??

Use a different web browser like internet explorer, Code Academy Needs to fix this bug because its almost happening in every step and its getting annoying.

I’m not going to post on this issue again. THIS IS A CODECADEMY BUG. They have to fix it and it has nothing to do with the CSS we are learning. The CSS : * { border: 1px dashed #3A5FCD; } is the correct code. It should work on every browser and the codecademy save submit button function should know that and report on it correctly.. They have to fix their bug. PERIOD.

You forgot the asterisk before the bracket. Here’s the answer.

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

It’s definitely a bug. I’m seeing it in Firefox as well. Is posting here sufficient to alert codecademy developers to this problem or is there a better place to let them know?

Well I went back to step 3/23 of CSS Selectors and tried this again in Chrome. The save and submit button seems to be working now.

Just so there is no confusion, the original issue reported here, (and the one I experienced) has nothing to do with the sample HTML or the CSS. I verified that the HTML and CSS works directly in a separate HTML and CSS file in Chrome.

The problem that was occuring was that the code that controls the lesson progress and the submit button at the bottom of the page was not functioning correctly.

That issue has not reoccurred for me, but I’ll keep my eye on it. The person who originally noticed this problem in this thread reported what I experienced exactly.

I will continue doing this CSS lesson in Chrome and see if the problem occurs again.

Thanks

The code that controls these courses and the sample html and css that they are actually teaching us should work in all the main browsers. We shouldn’t have to switch browsers to make any of this work. That’s actually the point of taking the courses here at codecademy. A working knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery etc, courses which are taught here, should allow you to create an application that works in all browsers. The expectation is that the code for the courses themselves should also work on all browsers.

this worked for me…:)

*{ border-width: 1px; border-style: dashed; border-color: #3A5FCD; }

I was having this problem and I opened the lesson in firefox without changing my code I saved and it worked.

This must be a bug with Chrome or using zoom.

If you are still having trouble try copying code from above, maybe you have a syntax error.

I would try

html{ border-width: 1px; border-style: dashed; border-color: #3A5FCD; }
