Hi Pavao,

What do you have for the rest of it and what error are you getting?

That challenge question requires you to "Select the ID wrapper, set it to a max width of 940 pixels, and then center it on the page using the margin property."

Are you properly selecting the wrapper and applying both the max-width and margin properties?

If you could post the code you have written, that would help a lot to solving your problem.

thank you all for taking time to answer my question. The issue was resolved by itself on the next day. It appears to be, that was a lag/bug/anythingyoucanthinkof but not a wrong syntax :) Thank you again! Great service, great discussion
