3,610 PointsCSS Selectors Challenge Task 2 of 2
It looks like we need to decrease the space between h2 elements and the paragraph that immediately follows. Create a new selector that targets p elements that are adjacent siblings of an h2. Then, set the top margin to .5em.
Bummer! Are you setting the correct 'margin-top' value?
It says .5em on my stylesheet, why won't it accept?
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-nav > li {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 20px;
}
.h2 + p {
margin-top: .5em;
}

231,268 PointsThe instructions ask for a "selector that targets p elements that are adjacent siblings of an h2".
Both "p" and "h2" are tag names, so neither one should have a period in front. Periods are for class names.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-nav > li {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 20px;
};
h2 + p {
margin-top: .5em;
}
as far as I know this is correct? yet it still says "Bummer: Are you setting the correct 'margin-top' value?"...

231,268 PointsIn future, always post a fresh new question instead of asking one in an "answer".
But in this case, the issue is that semicolons do not go between rules (just between property-value sets inside a rule).
