Hi - I'm just starting out with the HTML Learning adventure & I've already hit a snag. It's asking me to add an id attribute to a div element & it's failing me on even that simple task. My code is
<div id="featured cupcake"></div>
It complains with "Bummer - did you put the id attribute in the right element?".
Err…yes. Did you perhaps write a defective parser?

The same is with classes: <div class="class#1 class#2"></div>, once again class#1 and class#2 are different. But you could keep going on with both. <div class="1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and_so_on"></div>1. Hope that helps.
