Ok, this is how it would look like <body> <h1 id="bg"> my brief intro </h1> </body>

You are missing the semicolon at the end of 'red'

It's working thanks But how can change the background of whole screen If I apply Id in h1 then it's only changing background of text only instead of whole screen

Mani Singh use like this <h1 id="bg">Some text</h1> <style> #bg{ background-color:red; } </style>

Where you use 'bg ' that's not correct their you have to place selector like body tag to apply on whole document body{ Background-color: linen;}

Hmm i think first time u need to have a good indentation and afrer the « background-color: red » add an « ; ». Maybe change the B for b so the resultat is #bg{ background-color: red; }

Sorry, I'm not getting what you want to do... Are you trying to change the background color of the entire body or a div, section, or else? I see you used an Id but I don't get what "isn't working"

anyway this will only work in code playground. In a web page made outside of Sololearn app you have to put the tag to link the css stylesheet <link rel="stylesheet" src="style.css">
