Glitch in "Creating Structure"

Having trouble with a maddeningly simple step.

Here is the challenge question:

"Add an id of 'featured-cupcake' to the 'div' you just created."

I have written the following. The only thing I have added on this step is the text : id="Featured Cupcake"

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="Featured Cupcake">
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

When I ask the system to check my work, it says

"Bummer! Did you put the 'id' attribute on the right element?"

I can't see anything I've done wrong. There is only one div element, and the system just confirmed that I created the div correctly.

Any tips?

it looks like you need to had a dash in between featured and cupcake, and lowercase your letters <div id="featured-cupcake"></div> When you have a space, that is telling the html that you are referencing two different id's for the div.

That was it. Thanks, Joseph! Odd how you can look right at something and not see the obvious.

@Raphael - Can you create a new thread and post your code in it.

Make sure indent each line of your code by 4 spaces so the forum will format it correctly.
