It wont accept my answer

It looks like this line is formatted correctly, sometimes the problem is surrounding code, a forgotten } or , do you have more information?

I m especially careful about the ; and the braces......it says to check the length unit...i don't think there is anything wrong with the % sign

hmmm, the percent sign should be okay. Can you share which stage and video this is from?

did the question specify a relative or absolute width?

It is the third question after Numeric and Textual Data Types video in CSS Deep Dive stage 3. The question is about using percentages in defining the width of the paragraph, so it is relative.

this is what I have

strong {
     color: initial;
}
.wrapper {
     background-image: url (img/bg.jpg);
}
p {
     width: 50%;
}

It seems the same as what you posted. Have you tried exiting out and re-typing it in? Sometimes that helps.

yes twice

It has stopped me from progressing further and i have just two days left to complete it...frustrating

i appreciate you helping me out on this......is there any way i can proceed to the next stage without completing this one

The only other thing I can think of is try to contact the support people. They may be able to help. It can be frustrating.

Can you post your code on here? It may have something to do with something else in the code that is stopping you from proceeding.

It is exactly the same as posted above nothing else in the style sheet.

They blocked my free trail two days before....thats not fair
