656 PointsWhat is wrong with this coding (coding challenge)?!
The challenge is: Add a 'div' around the 'featured-cupcake' element and give it the classes 'container' and 'clear fix'. However it t keeps saying"Bummer! Make sure you wrap the 'featured-cupcake' element in a new div." This is what i got: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head>
<body> <div id="featured-cupcake"> <div class:"container clearfix"> <h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2> <img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg"> </div> </body> </html>

1,230 PointsI am just learing as well. I believe it has to do with how web browsers read code (CSS), so there is uniformity. Pages will look the same in: Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari etc.

656 PointsAhh brilliant thank you!
And i know its not your job and all… but i am finding it difficult to conceptualise grids as when i try it out on this little site i'm making (separate to the baking one) the different grid numbers just throw things everywhere! Do you have any idea how its structured??
Thanks again!
