Should there be a break in this class name?

<div class="grid_2 omega">

It won't let me select this class and I suspect it is a mistake in the challenge code?

Ah! Good to hear you solved the code challenge!

Yeah, remember that .omega is its own class that's part of the grid layout stylesheet, and that page elements can have more than one class assigned to them by placing a space between each class:

<div class="message error omega">
    <!-- more html would go here... -->
</div>

In this case, there are three (arbitrary) classes assigned to the div, and each class might do something different to the div irrespective of the other classes. The thing to notice here is that there's a space between each of the class names in the class attribute of the HTML tag. Don't let the double-quotes confuse you into thinking that message error omega is the one long class name!

Again, glad to hear that you've figured everything out! Best of luck!

Hi Ian Mackenzie,

I just retook the code challenge to see if I could spot the mistake you're talking about, and I couldn't find it. Can you maybe tell us which class(es) you're trying to select, or what attempts you've taken towards completing this code challenge? Perhaps you're defining your @media rule improperly... In any case, there is in fact a solution to all three steps of the code challenge! I might suggest you try to walk us through what you've already tried so that we can help guide you along!

Best of luck,

J.T. Gralka

Hi JT,

I've worked it out, there was two classes that I could have used. one was grid_2 the other was omega. It was written like this, grid_2 omega so I thought this was one class but it is two.

Thanks for your assistance.

Cheers, Ian
