this is exactly how he said to place the image of the bear.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife {
background-image:url ('../img/bear.jpg');
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>Lake Tahoe</title>

Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.

You're on the right track! ... Just a couple of things.
- When you click "check work" you are getting the error message that is telling you to make sure to
"set the background image value to 'img/bear.jpg'."
because it is located in the same folder. Right now, you are telling theurl()
to go up one directory (by prefixing the path with../
, so that should be deleted. - Once that is fixed, you get the same error which is misleading and inaccurate (sometimes the code checker does that). Here the error lies with the space you've included between
url
and()
. Normally whitespace is irrelevant in CSS, except for using its methods and theurl()
method is one example. With a space, the interpreter gets confused and does not know the parenthesis that follow are attached and related to the method. So, just get rid of that space and you're good to go!
Nice work! :)

11,461 Pointsthank you Jason. I got it all the way to the background sizing. I don't understand that part of placement. how do you measure the page?

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHey Kim,
For this, you don't need to measure the page. You'll be using the box-sizing
rule with a value of border-box
. This forces the element this is applied to to fill all space including padding and margins. This is covered earlier on in the course in this video at the 30s mark. I haven't worked with CSS for quite some time, so I'm glad you asked. It got me to go back and brush-up my CSS knowledge a bit.
Thanks :) Hope it helps!

3,397 PointsHi Kim it's going only 'img/bear.jpg' as the img is not stored in only one folder. Happy coding Kim
