CSS HOW TO MAKE A WEBSITE My background didn't go orange and the text is still underlined

Hi I'm doing the <div> wrapper bit but the background didn't go orange and the links are still underlined. Is my code wrong?

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

Hi Venessa,

I've edited your code so it appears correct in your post.

You almost had the markdown correct,

Here is a link to explain how to use Markdown to post your code How to post code

If you look at the bottom of the box when your typing a reply you will see Markdown Cheatsheet that will also explain how to post your code

Hope this helps.

Hi Vanessa, I've got no idea what you've posted there, but it isn't CSS. Please post your CSS.

Thanks

Hi Vanessa,

Looks like you're probably doing the How to Make a Website course. A couple of things:

  1. You can refer to this forum post in order to figure out how to post your code in the forum.

  2. Once you do that, be sure to post all of your CSS code. That way folks can help!

Cheers!

Hey Venessa,

I'm not sure what your html is but maybe you could check your path to your css file is correct, for example if it's in a folder called css the path would be css/my-styles.css assuming your css file was called my-styles.css

I also noticed you don't have any css to change the background colour.
Is it the #wrapper you want to change the background colour on?

Could you post your html please so we can take a look,

Thanks :)
