Use snipping tool + to upload from file

Jason

@Jauble

@abhisekp Thanks that worked. I realized I had the id wrong in my css, so I'm guessing that's why it wasn't working before lol

@3IBit

Hello, gus

guys

How are you?

I am problem,

Create a new p element around your a element.
Your a element should be nested within your new p element.
Your p element should have the text "View more " (with a space after it).

But, I don't know what's to do.

what*

alex

@alexhudici

bruglesco

@bruglesco

Jose E. Pimentel

@jedpimentel

@3IBit the ,<p> opening tag needs to be before the a element, the </p> closing tag needs to be after the a element

Jason

@Jauble

@joshchong

hey guys, are you not able to replace the ".text." in this line with ".innerHTML" or ".textContent"?

$(document).ready(function(){ $("h1").text("Hello"); });

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

You can do html or val

joshchong

@joshchong

ok, but i'm just trying to understand conceptually, something like ".innerHTML" just doesn't work with jQuery or something?

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

Well jquery is just a library of javascript

Jon

@jgtwo1

how do I import a font

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

Depends on if it's online or local

Jon

@jgtwo1

its local

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

You can import it in the css style like

@font-face {
  font-family: "Font Name";
  src: url("Fontfile-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
}

Then just use it regularly as a font-family

Jacob Brown

@jab5

I am having trouble on Waypoint: Use Hex Code for Specific Shades of Gray. Give your body element the background-color of a dark gray. My code says:

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

@jab5 you should set the background-color to the hex value. setting color doesn't change background-color

DTing

@dting

@jab5 the color they want is #808080

Jacob Brown

@jab5

that works. thanks

CamperBot

@camperbot

if you want to thank someone, put an @ before their name!

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

No the color they want is #111111 @dting

Jeremy

@jeremy03

@jab5 dark gray is also #A9A9A9

DTing

@dting

oh i guess i was looking at the previous challenge

Jeremy

@jeremy03

@jab5

<style>
  body {
    background-color: #111111;
  }
</style>

Jason

@Jauble

Anyone know of any settings that would make it so that I can't save changes in dev tools? When I save as, nothing changes. When I do the same thing in a different browser it works though

help palindrome

CamperBot

@camperbot

:point_right: bonfire check for palindromes [wiki]

Explanation:

You have to check if the string you get as an input is a palindrome and return true if it is, and false otherwise.

Katie

@Katie-S

Can someone please look at this code and tell me either why it doesn't work or if there is place I can go to check my code to determine what is wrong when I'm doing it?

function palindrome(str) {
 var newstr = str.toLowerCase('');

  var array = newstr.split('').reverse().join('');

 if newstr == array;


  return true;
  else
    return false;
}



palindrome("eye");

I tried it without the single quotes after .toLowerCase(); but that didn't work either ?

bruglesco

@bruglesco

@Katie-S ur if statement is missing sybols

if () { }

Herman Fassett

@HermanFassett

Yes what @bruglesco said also you need to remove punctuation

Katie

@Katie-S

Thanks @bruglesco . Now the only thing I've got to figure out is how to get it to ignore spaces and punctuation?

Katie

@Katie-S

Only other thing I don't get is if the word is "almostomla" it should return false but returns as undefined?

bruglesco

@bruglesco

you need to use a regEx to remove spaces and punctuation
