Box shadow challenge

The instructions were: Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow with a second set of box-shadow values. Set the new shadow's horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Don't forget to include the keyword value that creates an inner box shadow.

What am I missing? can anyone please help?

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

Hi Jason,

You almost have it. You just need to separate them with a comma.

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

Update:

We were both missing an extra 0 for the horizontal so the finished code should look like this:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

Hi Wayne,

I did try that already and got the following error message: Bummer! The second box shadow's vertical should also be 0, so I really don't know if it's a bug or what. Any ideas?

Hi Jason,

I just did the challenge. See code below ... worked well. Hope this helps you.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.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; }

It might be because you have two box-shadow declarations under .main-header.
