Stage 4 of CSS: Cascading Style Sheets: Challenge Task 2 of 3

I keep getting an error for the Margin Value. Here is what I've inputted:

a{ text decoration: none; }

wrapper{

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

I've also tried just 0 and just auto for Margin.

Please note I did input a "#" before "wrapper.

I've cleaned up the code a bit for you. Basically 2 issues here.

  1. as jason pointed out, it's text-decoration
  2. no space between 940 and px 
a{
   text-decoration: none;
}

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

I apologize for the errors inputted in my initial post. This is exactly what I have written:

Challenge Task 1 of 3: Remove the underlines from all the links on the page (I got this one correct):

a { text-decoration: none; }

Challenge Task 2 of 3: Select the ID wrapper, set it to a max width of 940 pixels, and then center it on the page using the margin property:

wrapper{

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

This is the error I keep seeing for Challenge Task 2 of 3 Bummer! Check the max-width value in your CSS.

William, I just tried entering "940px" vs "940 px". Problem solved :). Thank you both SO much!

also, Stephanie, for reference, you can post with code properly highlighted by wrapping it around in Markdown syntax like such

Code block on Treehouse

That way the code you post will not have the issue of missing a character here and there. Hope it helps.
