Unclear what to do

I just wanted to point out that in the second task of this challenge it just says "style the wrapper", and not actually specifying what the wrapper is, it does not specify it as an ID, a Class or a standard selector.

Please fix this as it can be confusing for some people, like myself.

When you look at the html do you see the wrapper with a class or ID? I imagine it would be a class. There is no wrapper tag in html so that counts that out. Having it as an ID won't make sense unless your sure you will only use it once, even then due to specificity you would be better off using a class.

But at the end of the day it is simply a case of looking at the html to see the answer, no big deal, its all part of the process of learning to code, not everything is handed to you on a plate believe me, you have to work for it.

But there is no HTML to look at, it is just a single CSS doc.

Are you sure there isn't a tab marked html next to the css one?

Can you give me a link to the challenge please Magnus, so i can take a look to see if I can help. I'm positive it will be a class but would like to take a look.

Thanks

Thanks Magnus,

I agree it isn't stated and that could be unclear, so maybe the question should state class wrapper. But it is a class and not ID.

Good for pointing it out though.
