It accepted Challenge task 3 and when I go on to task and submit, it keeps saying task 3 is "no longer passing"

there is an error in the quiz. It accepts task 3 and when I move to task 4 it says task 3 is incorrect, however if I go back and redo it, it says it's correct. I'm stuck in a loop! help

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
background-image: linear-gradient(to top steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
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>

Hi

You've missed the coma after to top:

background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);

Thanks, that fixed it, but it seems like it should say Task 4 is wrong, not task 3. Task 4 is the one with (to top, etc).

See what I mean? It shouldn't send me back to step 3 when step 3 is correct. Step 4 is the one missing the comma. I attached screenshots and sent to help at teamtreehouse.com
