This exercise keeps telling me that my "Task three is no longer passing" when i input all my parameters?

I'm on the gradient exercise, but everytime i try to input the parameters to fulfill the necessary gradient, it keeps sending me to task three?(which is always correct)

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header{
  background-image: linear-gradient(steelblue, darkslateblue)
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>

You were really close there! But the color stop position value should be placed after the color name.

P.S. the user who spells his name with a "ph" is a different guy. :wink:

The answer shown here looks like a proper solution to task 3, but doesn't seem to have any code for task 4.

Show the answer you are submitting for task 4 and perhaps the issue can be identified.

.main-header{
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue,90% darkslateblue)
}

I’ve also tried putting 0% in front of steelblue, but each time it keeps sending me back to task 3

Thanks for your quick reply!
