I set max-width at 940px but it keeps telling me to check my max-width value. Is this a glitch?

a {
  text-decoration: none;
{

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

Hey Carlos, you almost had the code highlighting working. You have to use the backtick character " ` " — it's to the left of the one key. Fixed it for you. :smiley:

You have an opening curly brace { after your text-decoration property, this should be a closing curly brace }. Also, when selecting an element with an ID, you should prefix it with a pound symbol #. So you should end up with the following:

a {
    text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
    max-width: 940px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

There is no glitch, you just had invalid CSS.
