30,415 PointsDid you add ";" to the end of font-size?

30,415 PointsI did this and it worked:
p { width: 50%; }
Just make sure all of the styles you did before are closed. I know it let me pass part two without closing the wrapper style.

p { width: 50%; font-size: 75%; }

Can you give me the link to what you are working on so I can take a look at the problem?

3,007 Pointswhen you set an element as a percentage, it becomes that percent of whatever is containing it. So the p tag might is becoming 50% of the element containing it, not necessarily 50% of what it was before.
