In Challenge Task 1 of 4 the instruction is to "Add CSS that will allow all images to fill thier parent element. I don't have a clue what to write.
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
images {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}

12,663 PointsI think you are on a good way here actually. Take a look at your
images {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
looks like you may already be making things fill out their parent element, but what is missing might be that you are not selecting all images by default.

688 Pointsit should be "img" not the full word "images" in the css code. I hope that helps!
img { max-width: 100%; }

8,947 PointsThis. It's a selector problem. It styles all <image> tags, not images.
With that said, you don't need the max-height property. max-width on it's own is plenty as the image will try to keep it's resolution and fill out the height too.
