1,450 PointsWhy was the property he used to change the color of the button called "background" instead of "background-color"?
The timestamp in the video is 1:30.
Are buttons not supposed to have a "background-color" property? Why did he just use "background" as the property?

Treehouse TeacherAdriana Karlak background-color only refers to the color but background is shorthand for all the properties of the background including the color.

Treehouse TeacherAdriana Karlak yes that would work as well!

1,450 PointsI see. Since he was only styling the background color, it would've been acceptable if he had used 'background-color' as well, correct?
