hi im trying to add new box value!

im trying to add a new box value and it says with multiple commas with a inset and i have written this every way i can and the page keeps refusing it! i added a new line with the word inset and the other values and changed the original to suit the question and i added commas to all and still no luck!

Hi Darren,

I think the code you need is the following:

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

Hi Darren,

The code you've posted isn't the same as I wrote in my first comment. You don't need to declare the 'box-shadow' a 2nd time. It looks like you have also added a comma after 'inset 0' which doesn't need to be there.

The steps to fix you're code are:

  • Replace the ';' after #aaa with a ',' (comma)
  • Remove the 2nd instance of 'box-shadow'
  • Remove the ',' (comma) you have after 'inset 0'

Thanks Darre, I'm new to Treehouse and the way some of the questions are worded sometimes don't make it clear what to do!

This should do it

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