copyright {
border: 8px 0 0 0 solid #2A0400; }
I know this is the correct ID call and is not letting me move forward. What is the issue?

#copyright {
border-top: 8px solid #2A0400;
}

Have you considered using the "#" character before the copyright? It seems like at the moment you just have the "copyright"
Remember: You should use "#" to select an ID and a "." for a class.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Carsten

12,466 PointsAs Carsten said, the pound symbol is used to select id's. So to select the div with the id of copyright in your CSS file, you would need to write:
#copyright {
border: 8px 0 0 0 solid #2A0400;
}

border: 8px 0 0 0 solid #2A0400; }
is the code i have entered. I have cleared my browser's cache as well and am still getting the same 'bummer' message. There doesnt seem any other way to proceed to the next lesson either. Any other suggestion on how I may continue with this course?

1,848 Pointsalso, I am using the '#' before copyright, but this email platform seems to be dropping the puond so it looks like i am leading with only 'copyright', however i assure you the Pound symbol is proceeding that class call of copyright.
