i am trying with the upper code to finish this unit but i don't understand where i have the mistake!

You're not supposed to have commas when describing the settings of a border all in one piece of code, the only time you really use commas are when you're selecting two or more elements at once before you make your declaration, or you're doing an RGB/RGBA value.

In addition to what Ethan said, I believe you would also want to add a space after "-bottom:" so that it reads "-bottom: 2px"
