5,592 PointsMargin rule turns blue and doesn't work
My margin: 0 auto; rule was working but then I must have changed something that made it stop working. Now it is blue and will not work. This is my current code
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 5%;
background: orange;
}
Workspaces does not even recognize margin as an option when I type ma...ect.

Basically the browser does not know that the command is done and tries to understand max-width: 940pxmargin: 0 auto;. Since that doesn't make any sense to the interpreter it ignores it. Placing the semicolon should get your code working again.

8,706 PointsHaha, it happens. Easy and often. Braces, commas and semicolons have a way of disappearing on you. :)
If the solution helped make sure to mark the question as answered. :)
