Hello all,
For some reason I am having a tough time completing the last task giving the paragraph a border. I've used different formats and yet the error is always 'set paragraph to red'. Any help is appreciated.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>
</body>
</html>
{
.main-pg {
border: solid red 4px;
}

849 PointsThere's nothing wrong with your HTML document. The issue is that you have a { too much at the start of your CSS file. The code should be like this.
.main-pg {
border: 4px solid red;
}
Take note: it doesn't matter which order the border values are. This works too:
.main-pg {
border: solid red 4px;
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,549 PointsThanks Ben. I was getting frustrated a bit since I did use both orders. Just got to remember that one little thing can mess up the code.
