Courses Plus Student 470 PointsCode challenge problem
Hi, I'm stuck on the final code challenge for styling content for CSS. It looks like I'm inputting the wrong ID selector but I can't see where I'm going wrong. I'm inputting #copyright followed by the {} tags along with the color and border instructions but to no avail.

Courses Plus Student 34,936 PointsMichael, can you post both the code challenge requirement and the code you created? That'll help us troubleshoot.

Courses Plus Student 470 PointsThanks James. I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong but I'm afraid I'm unable to spot it.
Code challenge -
Select the copyright using an ID selector. Give it a solid top border that is 8 pixels thick and has a color of #2A0400.
Code I created -
copyright {
border: 8px 0px; color: #2A0400; }
And the response I'm getting -
Bummer! Remember, to select an ID, use the '#' character followed by the ID of the element you want to select.
Regards,
Mike

Courses Plus Student 18,830 Pointsdid you accidentally not copy over the # before copyright? You need this to select ID's

Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsSorry for the confusion....when you pasted the code above I was wondering where the # was before the word copyright. The # is the ID selector. The code should like this:
copyright {
border-top: 8px solid #2A0400;
}

notice the # before copyright
Hope this helps.

Your code's right, I think, except for adding "#" before "copyright". In other words, it should be "#copyright { }".

Courses Plus Student 470 PointsHi guys, thanks for all your responses - hallelujah!! It works & I've completed the tasks now. i think the issue was the response I was getting back suggested a problem with the ID but actually that wasn't what I was doing wrong.
Onwards and upwards.
