I have to add a unique to a h1 header and adjust the typography.

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/viewport-sized-typography-fittextjs This is the question:

Using the unique ID defined within the fittext script, add the appropriate code to the level one header to make it scale with the fluid layout.

This is the script $("#fittext1").fitText(); When I try to add #fittext1 as the id to my h1 header I'm told that ive added the wrong id. So I tried .fitText ( which i figured is a class but i tried it just incase) and that is wrong as well. I am a little stumped here as i do not see any other id's in the code. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link href='style.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div class="grid_6 omega"> <h1>Smells Like Bakin'</h1> </div>

            <div class="grid_2">
                <h2>Bacon Me Crazy</h2>
                <img src="img/bacon-medium.jpg" alt="Bacon Me Crazy" class="cupcake">
            </div>
            <div class="grid_2">
                <h2>Jalapeno So Spicy</h2>
                <img src="img/lime-medium.jpg" alt="Jalapeno So Spicy" class="cupcake">
            </div>
            <div class="grid_2 omega">
                <h2>Avocado Chocolate</h2>
                <img src="img/avocado-medium.jpg" alt="Avocado Chocolate" class="cupcake">
            </div>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.fittext.js"></script>
<script>
  $("#fittext1").fitText();
</script>

</body>

</html>

May someone please assist ! Thank you in advance.

Remember that periods used for classes and hash marks used for id are only for reference by CSS and JavaScript. You do not need to type these when you are in the HTML. So instead of 

<h1 id="#fittext1">

you will just use:

 <h1 id="fittext1">

Hope this helps!

Hello Peaches,

The "#" in the ID is just there to indicate that it's an ID. When adding it to the HTML, it just needs to look like

id='fittext1'

I hope this helps!

If you are adding it to the HTML code document, you want to make sure you you add it below the <div class="container"> tag in this format.

<h1 id="fittext1">
