226 PointsWhat am I doing wrong? Code Challenge: Creating Structure. Question 2
It says Add an id of 'featured-cupcake' to the 'div' you just created.
<div>id='featured-cupcake'>
</div>
<div>id="featured-cupcake"></div>
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? AND HOW DO I CHECK THE ANSWERS?

It should look like:
<div id='featured-cupcake'></div>
Hope this helps!

</div>
Your id needs to be declared within your first div tag, and it needs to be surrounded by double quotes.

226 PointsHow do I answer the question correctly? What do you mean correct id attribute? How does one get a correct id attribute? The specific code challenge instructions state,"Add an id of 'featured-cupcake' to the 'div' you just created. Am I correct in thinking that "featured-cupcake" is the id and therefore the correct answer is <div> id='featured-cupcake'></div> ?

So <DIV ID="featured-cupcake"></DIV> should work unless there's are more specifics to the code challenge. Could you type in the exact instructions of the code challenge and the sample code that is there?

first off this format is wrong
<div>id='featured-cupcake'>
</div>
<div>id="featured-cupcake"></div>
Austen gave you the correct format to write not the exact answer pertaining to the code challenge itself.
So looking at the code challenge it's asking you to add an ID of featured-cupcake to the div that you just created.
Locate that div, it should look something like this:
<div>
<h2>Some text here</h2>
<img src="some pic file.here">
</div>
Now add the id of "featured cupcake" to that div and you should be fine. =)

226 PointsThanks, I copy and pasted your code and I got this answer-Bummer! Did you put the 'id' attribute on the right element?

10,218 PointsThe answer I provided was pertaining to the correct practices of using the id attribute, if there is a specific code challenge you are trying to answer you will have to apply the correct id that the challenge is asking for.
As long as you declare the correct id attribute inside the div tags, you should get the correct answer. Good luck!
