I can't get this class attribute to work.. Help?

I am on the lesson titled "Write the CSS" in the "intro to HTML and CSS" I've looked over it several times and I can't seem to figure out why the class attribute isn't working? I copied and pasted the code below..

The HTML <h2 class="section-title"> Summary Of Qualifications</h2>

The CSS .section-title { text-transform: uppercase; }

Is the CSS in the HTML document, or does the HTML link to the CSS file?

There isn't a technical reason why that code should not cause the element to change. But one thing you could try is using 

h2.section-title {
}

As your selector for the CSS. This would tell the browser only to target heading level 2 elements that have that class rather than every single element with the class.

(By the way, check out the markdown content on Treehouse for info on how to format code in the forums like I've done. 🙂)
