What's wrong with my code?

a {
    text-decoration: none;
}
wrapper {
    max-width: 940px;
  margin: auto;
}

I keep getting "Bummer! Check the max-width value is 940px". Is that not what I have it set at here?

This one is tricky because the question isn't really clear as to the selector that they want you to write... you should actually be selecting #wrapper as ID of wrapper. So:

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

I looks like you haven't defined your <wrapper> element in the CSS properly. Assuming it is a class (and not ID) it should be typed .wrapper{} (the period denotes it is a class)

#wrapper

You forgot the ID selector :D

Yup... Durp. I got it, thanks. Rookie move...

It's actually a div id="wrapper", so you have to identify your wrapper element in css as #wrapper. also if you are centering your wrapper, it will want margin: 0 auto;
