Border not showing up for me

Hi,

On this "Select an Element by ID" video, in my text editor and the Treehouse Workspace text editor, I can't get this code to work to show a border around the "headline" ID (though I checked multiple times and it seems to mirror what's shown in the video):

document.getElementById("headline").style.border = "solid 2 px red";

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Brendan

There should not be a space between the width (2) and the unit (px): 

document.getElementById("headline").style.border = "solid 2px red";

Wow, such a quick word back, thanks Steven--and your 2nd reply to one of my Q's, so doubly appreciate it!

I could've sworn i reviewed that code closely enough, but you were right on, can't believe i missed that! Many thanks again, cheers from NC,

Brendan
