1,841 PointsThis is my exact code:
wrapper { max-width:940 px; margin: 0;
}
Krishnendu Banerjee
1,005 Pointsjust put an hash tag # before the word wrapper and there should be no space between the # and wrapper
Wesley Githens
11,956 Pointsin the 'main.css' file there should be a hashtag before wrapper, like this:
wrapper
this signifies that 'wrapper' is an 'id' that you created and tells the computer to look through your index.html file for this section, then alters it accordingly. In this case it sets the max-width and margin.
Krishnendu Banerjee
1,005 Points #wrapper {
max-width:940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
this should be the code
Krishnendu Banerjee

1,841 PointsI entered the code as follows and I'm getting an error that says: Check the margin values in your CSS.
Krishnendu Banerjee
1,005 Pointsu have forgot to use auto after the value 0 what it means is that u apply 0 margin and by placing auto the margin is adjusted automatically....
Brian Burnett
1,841 PointsThank you so much that worked. I think I tried that but I placed the auto before the 0. Thank you.
Krishnendu Banerjee
