Stuck on adding border to copyright section

I keep adding #copyright to select the id for the copyright div at the bottom, but it's acting like it isn't recognizing the id selection

@josh peters I dont know which of the 4 tasks you are currently on. I used the following code and it worked for task 1. Sometimes there are small mistakes that are easy to miss. Since I dont know what you coded compare my piece of code with yours and you should hopefully be able to find your mistake.

#copyright {
  border-top: 8px solid #2a0400;
    }

Thanks Jeremy! I had forgotten to drop in the solid attribute so that seemed to make it happy. It was holding on to the pink formatting of a hex color value for the id which threw me off and the error was just about the id selector.

Thanks again!
