Closing </div> outsite of </section> problem

Hello, I just cant find out why my workspace is showing up an error when im closing /div> after whole section and footer. As I see in the video its made like that. There is a part of code im using

<section> <div id="wrapper"> inside content

  </section>
  <footer>&copy; Michal Broniewicz <br>
  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BronieV">
    <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook"></a>
  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BronieV">
    <img src="img/mail.png" alt="mail"></a>

I mean this... you havn't closed the div thats currently in a section so you can either close it before the section closes or start the div after it closes.

  </section>

  <div id="wrapper">
  <footer>&copy; Michal Broniewicz <br>
  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BronieV">
    <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook"></a>
  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BronieV">
    <img src="img/mail.png" alt="mail"></a>  
  </footer>
  </div>

Alright I think that would solve my problem. As I rewatch the lesson I see that if I would put div before opening section everything would work fine. That makes sense to me right now. Thanks for your help

Hey I'm pretty sure to fix this you could just stick the div with the id "wrapper" underneath the section part. Ideally in most cases your containers (divs and sections e.c.t) want to close before opening a new one. I'm not too sure about the video though. Hope this helps.

But when Im trying to close it after closing section it does not affect the footer which should be included into action.
