Trouble with background-color

Question

Hi all. I have just started learning html and seem to have gotten myself stuck. I have reached the part in the lessons where we start talking about adding color and for the most part I understand what's happening. However when I try to set a back ground color the tables I created in a previous lesson it it stops writing the color before it even reaches the color.

There's the link to my code. I realize its hard to look at but I've tried to include comments where I am having the issue. <div style="background-color: black; color:white; padding:20px;"> every which way and in every place I could think of even resorted to pasting it to khan academy to see if oh nos could tell me what was wrong...he was less than helpful

I don't want the answer just a nudge in the right direction to get me back on track. Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

Alex Davis 😊 actually instead of px u wrote x just
And u want to give the style to the table so you have to give the style to table not to the div
Anyway hope it helped!!

Answer 3
