898 PointsMax-width mistake?
For the life of me I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong on this challenge- it's referencing the max-width being wrong
a {text-decoration:none}
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940 px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 5%;
}

5,290 PointsYou added a '}' behind ``` text-decoration: none
remove the '}' and replace it with a ';'
Edit: Also, remove the space between '940' and 'px'
Edit: You should double check that you have a ';' at the end of your css rules :)

a {
text-decoration: none
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 5%;
}

5,290 PointsYou forgot to terminate the text-decoration rule. Not that it's required in this specific case, but it is a best practice. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11939595/leaving-out-the-last-semicolon-of-a-css-block
