can you share the rest of the html file. your info here is how it is in the video

if you can place them between three ` on top and bottom this will place your code in a black box that is the tick marke below the tidle key next to the one.

Sorry, i'm not sure exactly what you're saying.

In order to share your code you need to place it between on both the top and bottom of your code. If you just paste it into the conversation it will come out a mess. The are the little tick marks next to the one key on your keyboard.

Got it. Which part of the html would you like to see?

could you share both the html and css files. I should have originally said css.

Still looking but two things right off the bat in the css

under the header {} you need to add a semi colon after width

under nav, you are creating a margin top and bottom of 20px and 0 left or right, you need to add a 0 which will make top 20px, 0 left and right and 0 bottom, this might fix your problem.

I made these changes. It got better but is still hanging below the dark green nav bar.

Ok, how about doing a snapshot of your workspace so I can edit the code and see what else I can figure out.

To do that, go to your open workspace and, on the right side there is an icon that looks like a camera click it and, it will allow you to share. Post it and I will get back to you.

Unfortunately I am on my way out the door for a bit and will look when I get back, should be less than an hour.

Thank you!

I found the problem, I missed it my first time thru..

in your Header you also have padding set to 5px for top and bottom, you need to make it 5px 0 0 and that will take care of.

Fixed! Thanks for all your help Erik!
