I keep getting an error stating "bummer! it doesn't look like you set the maximum width on images yet.

the question asks: Add CSS that will allow all images to fill their parent element.

I inputted:

image{ max-width: 100%; }

I know that there is no parent element in CSS, so what should I do then? I have been looking for sources to help me out to give me insight to the problem or to just solve it.

Hey ! the selector for an image is img so you should try to use :

img {
 max-width:100%;
}

Hi Reza,

Without been able to see the challenge in question I would say the problem is because you have image instead of img which is the HTML tag for images.

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

Thanks guys this really helped me. I owe you one. so I have to use img instead of image, is that because CSS recognizes this key word?

In HTML the keyword img is the tag name for the element so this is what you always need to use to target it.
