Everything you're looking at is in style tags which is all CSS. Therefore, you can write the code into this challenge no problem like it's a stylesheet.css page. It's best practice to separate HTML and CSS in different files but it is not required. It's good to know how to do both.

for scaling images with fluid site i thought you just set max width to 100%

img { max-width: 100% margin: 2% 0; }

Yes, You're correct. I thought you were were asking if you write the code in index.html because there was no CSS file. (Which you will do in this challenge).

You can see the image styling is on the index.html file. If you make the max-width to 100% like you mentioned, you'll pass.

Just make sure you're using the correct syntax.

img {
    max-width: 100%;
    margin: 2% 0;
}
