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 wrote the following code, but it does not seem to work.

copyright {

border-top: 8px; color: #2A0400; }

Put a hash (#) symbol before the copyright in CSS. All id selectors in CSS must be preceded by a hash symbol, otherwise CSS treats them as an element.

Hi Farrukh,

If you wanted a border that is just the top with 8px thick, solid, and a color of #2a0400 the code would be:

#copyright {
    border-top: 8px solid #2A0400;
}

By itself the color property changes the color of font only.

Let me know if you got it working,

Tom
