That's right, it looks like you just have to leave in the CSS rules for the first task of the challenge.

Your answer looks okay to me. Maybe try starting the challenge from the beginning and trying that same code again.

Ok, I re-took the test and the same problem appears. It says it's wrong I don't understand, and its driving me nuts.If I don't finish the quiz I can't move on.
