--description--

With CSS, there are hundreds of CSS properties that you can use to change the way an element looks on your page.

When you entered <h2 style="color: red;">CatPhotoApp</h2>, you were styling that individual h2 element with inline CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets.

That's one way to specify the style of an element, but there's a better way to apply CSS.

At the top of your code, create a style block like this:

<style>
</style>

Inside that style block, you can create a CSS selector for all h2 elements. For example, if you wanted all h2 elements to be red, you would add a style rule that looks like this:

<style>
h2 {
color: red;
}
</style>

Note that it's important to have both opening and closing curly braces ({ and }) around each element's style rule(s). You also need to make sure that your element's style definition is between the opening and closing style tags. Finally, be sure to add a semicolon to the end of each of your element's style rules.

--instructions--

Delete your h2 element's style attribute, and instead create a CSS style block. Add the necessary CSS to turn all h2 elements blue.

--hints--

The style attribute should be removed from your h2 element.

assert(!$('h2').attr('style'));

You should create a style element.

assert($('style') && $('style').length >= 1);

Your h2 element should be blue.

assert($('h2').css('color') === 'rgb(0, 0, 255)');

Your stylesheet h2 declaration should be valid with a semicolon and closing brace.

assert(code.match(/h2\s*\{\s*color\s*:.*;\s*\}/g));

All your style elements should be valid and have closing tags.

assert(
code.match(/<\/style>/g) &&
code.match(/<\/style>/g).length ===
(
code.match(
/<style((\s)*((type|media|scoped|title|disabled)="[^"]*")?(\s)*)*>/g
) || []
).length
);
