Wrapper is not working. What am I doing wrong?

index.html 
<div id="wrapper">
      <section>
        <ul>
          <li><img src="img/Marian Vintage.png" alt=""></li>
        </ul>
      </section>
      <footer>
        <a href="https://twitter.com/solidpack"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>
        <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mark.breugelmans.5"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a>
        <p>&copy; 2016 Mark Breugelmans</p>
      </footer>
    </div>
main.css 
#wrapper {
  max-width: 940 px;
  margin: 0 auto; 
  background: organge;
}

I tried before if the link between my main.css and index worked correctly by changing the color. That was ok.

Thanks for getting back to me so fast Jennifer. But I think I found the problem. I removed the space between between 940 and px. Now it is working. Thanks again

Thanks Jennifer, I've changed that. Helps a lot :-) But still the other commands are not working (max-width and margin).

Mark Breugelmans Let's try looking at all your code. On the upper right hand side of your workspace there is a camera icon. Click that to create a snapshot then open the link. Copy the URL and paste it in here so that we can see all of your code simultaneously. And no, we cannot directly edit your code on your workspace. Ours is just a copy.
