What am I doing wrong here?
wrapper {
max-width : 940px; margin : 0 auto; }

1,727 PointsNotice you have a blank space between "margin" and ":". This could be the mistake. Same for "max-width".
This code should work:
#wrapper{
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
If not, check your html or if you want feel free to send me the index.html and your css stylesheet at jorge@sensationalfix.com and i'll check your project.

1,727 PointsI think you forget the "#" for the div selector.
Michael Araromi
349 PointsThanks Jorge, the # is included in the code, I don't know why it's not showing on the discussion. These are my codes:
wrapper {
max-width : 940px; margin : 0 auto; }
but it's still not working.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,937 PointsWhy doesn't this code work?
wrapper{
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }
Is it because the index.html page is empty?
Scott Delman
5,436 PointsCan someone please explain to me why max width (940px) only have one property and margin has two (0, auto)?
Is it because max width is a property that takes up space where as margin is something that is being placed on the page?
