Issue with Styling Content code challenge?

I'm pretty sure I am typing the correct code, yet the system is telling me it's not correct. I'm typing:

copyright {

border-top: 8px thick #2A0400 }

Is this not correct?

I looked at the code challenge and you're setting a thick border when it should be a solid border. It said it should be a 8px thick border, but earlier it stated that it should be solid. Not the best way of words, but the border should be, as I said, solid.

By the way, when I typed this out, I put #copyright

In the code you posted (which by the way should be formatted as code with Markdown - check the Cheatsheet) you forgot the semicolon.

Eirik,

Thanks for getting back to me and reminder about the code format on the cheatsheet. In my challenge response, I did put the semicolon. Everything looks correct, yet I get an answer back of, “Remember, to select an ID, use the '#' character followed by the ID of the element you want to select.”

Guh, right. Maybe a break is in order. :-)

Thanks for your help.

Chris

Glad to help!
