Hi!

This code is looking awesome apart from the fact you have got a space in-between '940' and 'px'. I also noticed that in your HTML you have the id "wrapper" but in your CSS you are using a capital W in '#Wrapper'. If you remove the space and sort out the id name the code should work absolutely fine!

Good luck and happy coding!

Hi Luke! Thanks for your advice, but the problem continues... I removed the space between the "940" and the "px", also removed the space between the ":" and "940px" I tried both ways, and doesn't fix it

Hi!

Did you try making the '#Wrapper' change that I recommended? I think when you change that the code should work as expected.

Yeah... It should. I don't know what is wrong...

Luke Glazebrook is correct (as usual) :smiley: If I take this your code and make the changes that he mentions so that it looks like this:

a {
  text-decoration:none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

... the challenge passes on step 2. Now, if you copy and paste this into the challenge in the css section and it still doesn't pass for you, you might need to contact Treehouse support.
