Hi christopher wood,

The color: property isn't necessary in the border-top value. You can omit it and just use the hex value. Don't forget to set the solid border style, though.

Hmm okay ty Guil I shall try the # copyright {

border-top: 8px: #2a0400;

} and

copyright {

border-style:solid 8px #2A0400; }

which another of do it please let get pass this :\

<div id="copyright" class="grid_12"> now give it a solid top border that is 8 pixels thick and has a color of #2A0400.

Not a problem lol it has been.

use # first as the selector as it is i.d not class,

#copyright {
    border-top: 8px: #2a0400;
}

or even

#copyright {
    border-style:solid 8px #2A0400; 
 }

I still the message Remember, to select an ID, use the '#' character followed by the ID of the element you want to select.

Far as I am aware, i have and yet when i write it still turns pink in color the # is first and spelling is exact for the word copyright which comes after the #. Still confused moving on to next quest.

Btw these are two example i have done and try other ways still nothing

Hi christopher wood,

You're close. Let's stick with the border-top example you provided. You'll need to remove the : in the value, then add the solid value, and you should be good-to-go.

Ty for Guil, I ending doing after I posted this and got it. Yay
