Add a second level heading inside that div containing the text "Shopping List". No spaces around the text, please.

I can't seem to crack this one. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a help button or should I just start a discussion?

I first tried just to do a <div> with a simple <h2> etc inside. But doesn't work. Have I forgotten something?

Hi Nete Svane ,

It would be great if you could paste the code you have so far so we can see what's wrong.

Notice that the question is asking you to add a "second level heading inside that div". By wrapping text in second level heading tags, you're specifying that the text inside should be treated as a second level heading. In this case, we're wrapping "Shopping List" inside those tags, and in turn those heading tags should be nested inside the div you just created.

<div>
    <h2>Shopping List</h2>
</div>

Check out this video. It might help you on your way to understanding heading elements. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for your help. I was going crazy but it turned out that I was doing it correctly all along but there must be a flaw in the system as it didn't accept it until two days after when I tried it again for the 10th time. Suddenly, it just accepted the answer. It has happened again since with another code but now I know just to keep trying as the system fails from time to time. So my answer was correct all along. THank you anyway to confirm it! NEte

Hey Nete!

I just gave it a try and completed it successfully by typing my code directly underneath:

<!-- Write your code below -->

It only took me two pairs of tags, a div and a second level heading. Make sure that you nest your heading inside the div. If it still won't work, post your code here :)
