I'm getting an error on this code challenge. why is it asking me to recheck the value of my max-width(which is 940)?

I think there is an error here. It is asking me to set it to 940, and thats what I have it set at, but it asks me to re-check the value...any ideas?

Hi Justin,

You have a space between 940 and px. You can't have any spaces between numbers and the associated units.

As pointed out by King Penson II, you have a missing semicolon on text-decoration: none

It's a good idea to get into the habit of ending each declaration with a semicolon although in this case it wouldn't cause any problems. If the declaration is the last or only declaration then a semicolon isn't needed but I recommend that you put them in always.

You need a semicolon after your "text decoration" property. Without the semicolon, it's still waiting for my values in the property

It would be hard to say without seeing your code.

Thanks Jason Anello.This one worked :

a{ text-decoration: none; }

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

Just use the "margin" property, it counts for right and left (and up and down)

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0px auto; }
