Margin rule not working in CSS.

When I type "margin: 0 auto;" in my css, it isn't recognizing the rule and it fails to update my webpage.

Did you remember to save your edit in the workspace, and then refresh your browser?

Yes I did. I notice that rules/functions work when they change color...but as I typed "margin: 0 auto;" there was no change of color. Therefore I knew that it wasn't going to work anyway. Also, sometimes as I type things a dropdown appears, to finish what I am typing...and nothing appears when typing "margin."

It might help to see your complete code. Or better yet, use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

Hi, thank you. I figured out that I forgot the ";" in the function lol. Thank you though.
