Here's Final Task #3 of the course. I'm still puzzled, and cannot put the pieces properly. Your help is appreciated.

Tasks #1 and #2 have passed, but, as you'll see, Task #3 isn't passing. Here are the tasks in case they don't show up in this post.

Challenge Task 1 of 3 Select the class logo and give it absolute positioning.

.logo { position: absolute; }

Challenge Task 2 of 3 Next, give .logo a top offset of -45px and a left offset of 125px.

.logo { position: absolute; top: -45px; left: 125px; }

Challenge Task 3 of 3 The logo's absolute position is relative to the browser viewport. Make .card the new positioning context for .logo.

.logo { position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; } .card { position: absolute: top: 0; left: 0; } ^ Although the design result appeared presentable after numerous code attempts, Task 3 begins the loop back to Task 1 as "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."

Thank You for your help. DM.

When you attempt task 3, make sure you don't change your code from tasks 1 and 2.

You have .logo set to 'relative' currently, but it needs to be 'absolute' to pass task 1. You've also got rid of the -45px and 125px offsets needed to pass task 2.

You also have a syntax error:

position: absolute:

The above line needs to end with a semi-colon, not a colon.

To pass task 3, it's the .card that you need to set to relative.
