Found the correct input. At <meta> tag content, put "Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars". And the same at second <p> tag. Change the <p>Boba Fett Shirts</p> to <p>Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars</p>. Done.

Hi Ashley Scott - it would help to know what you're trying so we can help you here. If you paste in the code that you're trying, we might be able to spot a problem.

I have the similar problem which I had attempted others possible content value. Have a look below:

<head>
  <title>Star Wars Merchandise</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="description" content="Boba Fett Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars">
</head>
<body>
    <p>Star Wars Merchandise</p>
    <p>Boba Fett Shirts</p>
    <p>Available in white; sizes S-M-L-XL</p>
    <p>Darth Maul Hat</p>
    <p>Available in black or white at <a href="http://hats.com">Hats.com</a></p>
</body>
</html>

Anyone has better solution? Is much appreciated.

I had an issue when I was trying to input the code as well and it was super simple as to why it was not allowing me to complete the challenge. The period "." was in the wrong spot. See below:

<head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Star Wars Merchandise</title> <meta name="description" content="Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars".> </head> <body> <p>Star Wars Merchandise</p> <p>Boba Fett Shirts</p> <p>Available in white; sizes S-M-L-XL</p> <p>Darth Maul Hat</p> <p>Available in black or white at <a href="http://hats.com">Hats.com</a></p> </body> </html>
