For one of my quiz questions i am trying to use the ID selector to select copyright.
But #copyright shows up in pink instead of the normal color under the CSS.

Treehouse TeacherThe pink color is OK. In the Treehouse HTML editor, element selectors appear as a grayish color, class selectors as brown, and ID selectors as Pink. I tried this code and it passed:
\#copyright {
border-top: solid 8px #2A0400;
}
Try the challenge again from the beginning and see if it works.

2,613 PointsHeres the question, Select the copyright using an ID selector. Give it a solid top border that is 8 pixels thick and has a color of #2A0400.
I should be pulling the HTML code using the CSS ID right?
The HTML code is div id="copyright" so shouldn't the CSS ID selector be #copyright {border-top: 8px #2A0400;}?

Treehouse Teacherignore the forward slash before #copyright. If I didn't add it the markdown syntax treated copyright like a h1 tag, and for some reason, the forum doesn't strip out the forward slash. Not sure how the markdown works in the forum posts, yet.
