I need help with margin-right:auto

I can't seem to get item one to be separated from other items.

Inside of page.css:

.container {
    background-color:#fff;
    border-radius:10px;
    padding:10px;
    width:80%;
    margin:30px auto;
}

.item {
    background-color:salmon;
    margin:5px;
    border-radius:10px;
    padding:10px;
}

Inside of flexbox.css:

.container {
    display:flex;
        flex-wrap:wrap;
    justify-content:space-around;
}

.item1 {
    margin-right: auto;
}

Double-check your syntax. The video example refers to Item 1 as "item-1" in the html file and it looks like you are calling it ".item1" in your css file instead of ".item-1". Hope that helps!

Hi,

Are you using your own text editor? If so, make sure that the the link to the page.css is displayed above the flexbox.css link, in your html head....alternatively, add the "item-1" class to the page.css sheet instead (but i don't know if this way would be good practice).
