Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 17,565 Pointsyou defined wrapper as a ID, to select a ID in css you have to type ( # ) first.
Result:
#wrapper { max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; background-color: orange; }

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 17,565 PointsI tried and the code is working for me, maybe try to put this code in the head section: link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" type="text/css"

Courses Plus Student 1,355 PointsI found the problem, thanks for your help. I put the div after opening " header " while it should be after closing "header"
