Why is my task three failing when I try to finish task four?

For whatever reason when I try to complete my lesson, task three fails even though nothing is wrong. Is this an error or did I mess something up?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.main-header {
     background-image: linear-gradient (bottom to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

Hi there,

try this in your css I'm 99% that this will fix your error.

.main-header { background-image: linear-gradient (to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); }

When I was going through that quiz I had exactly the same problem, so instead of "botom to top" just use "to top".

Hope this helps so you can continue your studying. Good luck!
