I keep getting an error to set the columns width to 300px. I don't think the width property is right but I can't figure out any other properties where I can use a value of 300px!
Help please! :)
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.row {
display: flex;
}
.column {
width: 300px;
flex: 1 auto;
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're close here, but width
is not the property you're looking for. In fact, you're so close, I'm just going to give a hint. There's a specific one covered in these videos that they're looking for. Take a look at the "Teacher's Notes" that accompany this video.
Hope this helps!
