Stuck in a coding challenge?

Hey guys!

I just started my team-treehouse subscription and stuck in a (very early) coding challenge.

I am confident my sintax is right but for some reason or the other the code is not coming through? Is this a good place to ask? Is that Kosher in this community?

That's valid HTML in examples you mention, however you would select it using different CSS.

To select 1) .omega > #featured cupcake

To select 2) .omega#featured cupcake

One of the CSS challenges. I was actually able to complete it. However this is the reason why i was confused:

I was writing the following (1)

<div class ="normalize">
 <div class="omega">
       <div id="featured cupcake">
            <img src="pic.jpg">
       </div>
 </div>
</div>

However the answered turned out to be the following (2):

<div class ="normalize">
       <div id="featured cupcake" class = "omega">
            <img src="pic.jpg">
       </div>
</div>

Why is #2 right and not #1?

Thanks!
