1,635 PointsMargin challenge problem
The challenge says: 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 is:
wrapper {
max-width:940px; margin:center; }
What's wrong?

margin: 0 auto;
Means this:
- margin-top: 0
- margin-bottom: 0
- margin-right: automatic
- margin-left: automatic

19,604 PointsYou cannot center a margin using the word "center". You have to use "0 auto".
wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
