My code for this example is #copyright {border-top:8px solid:#2A0400;} and I keep getting the error about not having the ID selected. It turns the #copyright selector purple when I type it in the editor. Is it supposed to do that?

Here's a quick refresher on the anatomy of a CSS selector.

6,233 PointsI think you are referring to the "Code Challenge" at the end of the "Styling Content" section: I got stuck there too because even though I write the code correctly (even comparing it to the one in the video), it keeps saying that to select an ID I need to use the pound sign. I will be glad to know if it's a problem in the page or if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I leave a screenshot so you can see what I'm saying. I tried to look for the forum rules but I couldn't find it; I don't know if you can post images, so sorry if I did something forbidden. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5k0ky0x8b927em2/Screenshot%202013-11-05%2019.45.02.png
