CSS CSS Basics (2014) Enhancing the Design With CSS Text Shadows and Box Shadows

Posted by nawlins34

Am I placing the "insert" value in the box-shadow declaration incorrectly or no?

I'm required to add a 2nd set of box-shadow rules, but when I do the following,

/**************************************************************/

.main-header {

box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, 0 0 60px 5px firebrick inset; }

/*************************************************************/

I keep getting the "the second rule needs the keyword value"

does anyone see something I'm missing here? Or am I interpreting the request incorrectly?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading  {
                text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}

.title  {
         text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}

.main-header  {
               box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
                           0 0 60px 5px firebrick inset;
}

      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">

Hi Rozario,

You need to order it like this.

.main-header  {
               box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;                          
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you kindly! That's exactly what the issue is!

I was used to placing a comma after selectors i.e. ( ul, ol ) so I assumed that was the case with the values too.

Thanks again, now I know to try it on the same line while reviewing code.
