I can't get past this code challenge because I am being told my max width is wrong.

Courses Plus Student 1,581 PointsI am not sure what you mean. I am typing in the code exactly like in the video which i have watched 4 times now and i need to move on, this is taking too much time, my code is correct. Who at treehouse can get me past this code sequence quiz?
<div>
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; } </div>

You are missing the id (#) in your last paste.
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Courses Plus Student 1,581 PointsOk thanks the # has been in the code sequence answer the entire time, that is not the issue. The code is correct, the Treehouse "check" is not reading it correctly.

12,011 PointsI really doubt that Treehouse check is incorrect unless your connection is intermittent and it is failing to send. There aren't many different ways you can code this. What code challenge is this? Tell me and I will go through it myself.
Try coming out of the code challenge and submitting it again:
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
