you're not selecting "wrapper" properly. use the 'id' or 'class' selector. 

.wrapper{
max-width:940px ; 
margin: 0 auto; 
background:orange ; }

or 

#wrapper{
max-width:940px ; 
margin: 0 auto; 
background:orange ; }

Thank you but I can understand the difference between my code and yours. They say the same thing.
