335 PointsCSS problem
What am I doing wrong here?
Select the ID wrapper, set it to a max width of 940 pixels, and then center it on the page using the margin property.
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; } a { text-decoration: none; }

a {text-decoration:none}
Spencer Merritt
10,615 PointsThe answer to 2 is
#wrapper {max-width:940px; margin:0 auto;}
Colten Rowland
335 PointsThis is exactly what I typed.
Colten Rowland
335 PointsOK. I finally got it to work. I put it all on one like like you have it. I'm use to doing it like below. '''
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin:0 auto; } ''' For some reason it wouldn't work for me like that. I don't know why.
Spencer Merritt
10,615 PointsYour missing the # before wrapper. It should read #wrapper.
Lucas Santos
19,315 PointsYou forgot the # sign which is how you specify that you are targeting an ID and not a Class.
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0px auto;
text-decoration: none;
}
Colten Rowland
335 PointsNo. It just doesn't post when I paste the code. I am typing the # for the wrapper ID. I think this system is not working so well.
Colten Rowland
335 PointsCan you send and post a photo in this forum. Then you can see that I am posting the #. When I copy and paste it doesn't do such a good job
Lucas Santos
19,315 Pointsedit your code on top you just probably forgot to add a backtick ` (you need 3 backticks before and after your code for it to show properly)
Colten Rowland
335 PointsBacktick? What is a backtick? Below I will attempt to paste it again. But put it in a text editor first, change the formatting to plain text. Copy and paste again. Here is goes.
Select the ID wrapper, set it to a max width of 940 pixels, and then center it on the page using the margin property.
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; } a { text-decoration: none; }

19,315 Points` that little thing in the beginning of this sentence is a backtick... look below where it says "Markdown Cheatsheet" it will inform you.
