1,208 PointsGetting div class to apply
There is nothing in the previous material that makes it readily apparent, at least to me, what the issue is here.
The "Bummer!s" are of no help, and only confuse me further as no matter how i shift the line around it seems to suggest the div class is applying to one of the elements, with no clue as to why it isn't applying to the other even though the syntax is ctrl-c'd from the top of the challenge.
what's wrong here? and please improve this code challenge, as clarity is all over the place.

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're soooo close here. But you did something they weren't expecting. You started a new <div>
element all by yourself but then never closed it. So if you look you have a div tag and then the start of a new div inside that one. It wanted you to add the class to the div tags that were already there.
If you remove the two lines with the <div>
and nothing else, and fix your indentation, your code should pass. Hope this helps!

1,208 Pointsahh, i see. thanks a bunch. guess i was supposed to edit the pre-existing divs, whereas the challenge led me to believe i was meant to add.
thanks for the quick answer, this was all i needed to finish up the track. :)
