I'm adding the class "group" to the header element in the HTML but it's not accepting my answer. What am I overlooking?

I'm adding the class "group" to the header element in the HTML but it's not accepting my answer. What am I overlooking? I'm sure it's something obvious, but my frustration prevents me from seeing it at the moment. Thanks!

Hey David,

Try doing this:

<header class="main-header group">

Instead of this:

<header class="main-header" class="group">

You don´t need to set Class two times, all you need to do is:

class="main-header group"

that means you have two different classes, when you set an space between main-header and group, that mean each one is a different class.
