Hi,
I am stuck on this task of ' using css, set the line height of the wrapper div to 32 pixels'
In style.css, I wrote .wrapper {line-height: 32px} and it is wrong. Can somebody care to explain where I am going wrong please? I played back a few clips many times and I still don't know! :(
Thanks

Remember to select an id you need to prefix it with a #, as opposed to . which is used to select classes.

12,680 PointsAhh... Thanks! I thought '.' was an alternative to '#'. Is there a way of typing this on keyboard without copying and pasting? (I never used twitter!) Cheers

39,199 PointsThere are several important differences between classes and ids. Here's a blog post about the differences between classes and IDs.
How you type the # character depends on what sort of keyboard you have.
On the standard US keyboard layout, the # symbol is Shift+3.
On standard UK and some European keyboards, the same keystrokes produce the pound currency symbol (£), and **# **is moved to a separate key above the right shift.
On UK Mac keyboards, # is generated by Opt +3, whereas on European Mac keyboards, the # can be found above the right shift key.
