1,195 PointsBug? CSS Basics / Width and Height Properties / 1st Challenge Task 2/5
Hello, I think I found a bug in the CSS Basics / Width and Height Properties / 1st Challenge Task 2/5.
The task is: Next, define the background property and value that prevents a background image from repeating in any direction.
.wildlife {
background-image: url('img/bear.jpg')
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
But when I try to submit it, I get this error message:
Bummer: Since the style sheet is not in a separate folder, make sure you're using 'url()' to set the background image value to 'img/bear.jpg'.
First of all, I'm not sure it is a relevant error message, because the first task was to set the background-image and it already accepted it. So I don't understand why it is want to correct it in the second task. But as you can see I have my code the say it says in the error message, but still can't submit it, because I get this error again and again.
Can you help me please, how to solve this problem? I'm stuck at this point, but I want to continue my studies.

Best wishes, Bence

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Bence Mészáros! No, it's not a bug. And this is not specific to Treehouse or code challenges. If a CSS selector only has one rule, you can generally omit the semicolon at the end. However, if the CSS selector contains more than one rule, each rule must have a semicolon.
In short, you didn't really end the background-image rule because it is missing a semicolon so it can't make it down to your next rule. Adding a semicolon to the end of background-image: url('img/bear.jpg') should cause it to pass the next step
Hope this helps!
