HELP!!!!!!

First, we need to establish a positioning context for our boxes. Create a new CSS rule that sets the position of the div with class wrapper to relative. I don't understand what they mean.

you need to select the class of wrapper. you can do that using

.wrapper { }

you then need to set the position attribute . you can set the position attribute like so:

.wrapper { position: absolute; }

however in your case you need to set the position to relative, not absolute.

You have to create a rule in your stylesheet.css that is going to position your 'div class="wrapper"' in a relative layout. So you will have to do something like this.

.wrapper{
position: relative;
}

Now I don't know what the actual command to set up the position is, but that's the basic idea. You are way further than me on the CSS. Good job.
