1,546 PointsSelecting the DIV ...... What am I missing?
I have in my notes that to select the div in CSS it is to look like this:
wrapper {
background-color: lightblue;
}
Is this right or wrong? In the code challenge it is saying "Bummer".
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
body {
text-align: center;
}
p {
color: lightslategrey;
}
header {
background-color: orange;
color: white;
}
#wrapperdiv {
background-color: lightblue;
}

<h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>

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.

<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Treehouse TeacherSimply replace "#wrapperdiv" with the following code:
div {
background-color: lightblue;
}
Using a pound sign before a name in a CSS file targets an element with an id. Your code would target any element with the id="wrapperdiv". No such element currently exists in your HTML file.
