Bummer! The second box shadow's horizontal offset needs to be 0

I keep on getting this message even though I keep setting it to 0. I followed all the advice from the other posts and it doesn't work. I appreciate if anyone can help. Thank you

Hi Moshe,

The 'inset' is not a property in CSS rather it's a value. Remove the colon ( : ) from the inset keyword and you should be fine.

Have a nice day,

Shay

Hello Shay,

Your answer worked. Thanks so much for responding because all my google searches didn't help me either.

All the best, Moshe
