Hex value preview box?

The preview box doesn't pop up when I hover over the hexadecimal color. The code is correct. It's the right color on the page. Just doesn't pop up when I hover on it like he said it should. Can anyone tell me why?

Hi Rachel, could you post the code you're trying? Maybe we can debug and get to the bottom of this :)

Hi Rachel,

Are you using firefox? I think the preview only works in chrome.

Not sure about IE, edge, opera, or safari.

I had the same issue with Firefox. In Chrome it works.
