3,024 Pointswhy can't i add a second set of box shadow values using the keyword inset and separating the values by a comma
I'm taking a code challenge and, according to the way the question is phrazed, I'm adding the code to the second box-shadow values by ending the first line with a comma and including inset and closing the tag after setting all the values but it doesn't seem to be working...What am I doing wrong?
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #be7b31;
}
.title {
text-shadow: 1px 3px 0px #e59740;
}
.main-header {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px 15px #aaa,
inset 0px 0px 60px 5px firebrick;
}

1,301 PointsThis works,
.main-heading { text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31; } .title { text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740; } .main-header { box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; }

1,301 PointsHave you tried typing inset after the colour as opposed to before it?

3,024 Pointsyes before AND after.... in the preceding tutorial it lists that you can separate the values for "text-shadow" with a comma but it doesn't mention with a box-shadow. I've tried typing the property twice eg: . main-header { box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px 15px #aaa; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 60px 5px firebrick; }
and it still doesn't work... I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

3,024 PointsHaaaa! So the only thing I was doing wrong was putting "0px", instead of just "0" for the zero pixel value. Thanks for your help!
