1,241 PointsCan please someone help me with the max-witdh?
It keeps saying i'm doing something wrong but I don't know what. I have done everything exactly like in the video. It says I should put the max-width in 940, and that's what I'm doing, but it keeps saying it's wrong. Please I need a response, I've been stuck in this excercise since yesterday.

You've pretty much got it, except for one small error. You have a space between the value and the units. Instead of 940 px
, you need 940px
with no space separation.
So the code for Task 1 and Task 2:
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Keep Coding!
