I do not see where my max-width value is off. It asks for a max-width of 940 pixels. Mine reads: max-width: 940px;

Select the ID wrapper, set it to a max width of 940 pixels, and then center it on the page using the margin property.

My answer:

wrapper {

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

}

You need to add the full ID selector like this: 

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

Sorry, it removes the # when I paste the answer in, but it is setup exactly the same as your comment and it will not go through.

It looks correct, but maybe you can paste entire code in case there's a problem elsewhere. Here are instructions to paste code so it doesn't remove the # like you mentioned. And here's the code I used to pass challenge. https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
}

Thank you, Kelly! #wrapper was always gray when I typed it, so it must not have recognized my hashtag. This was a great help!
