921 PointsAdding copyright ID selector
I believe I have put the correct code for this challenge (Add copyright ID selector with top border) however, it says this is incorrect. And I put a pound sign before the copyright but I don't think that is showing up on here.
'''css
copyright {
border-top: 8px solid #2A0400;
} '''

947 PointsHow does it look good? His problem is clearly in the selector, he put 'copyright' rather than '#copyright'.

Dylan Dixon
947 Pointscopyright , the id will always be called upon in css by a # and the classes will always be called upon by a . .
Example below
#id{
border-top:8px solid #2A0400;
}
/*if you were going to use a class, which you are not, you would use a ., example below*/
.class{
example:example value;
}
Got it?

947 PointsOh haha whoops. Yeah guess I missed that.

15,676 PointsI also failed at the full read. My apologies Jason.
Dylan Dixon
947 PointsOkay I just tried it out, and I have the same code as you and it worked.
#copyright{
border-top:8px solid #2A0400;
}
this is what you had right? I can't really see the problem, hmm.
Where did you put it in the code?

947 PointsThat posted twice for some reason..

You're code looks good to me. Maybe THIS will help with posting code.
