I cant seem to set all the margins to zero, I used the code "margin: 0;" it doesn't work?

I've tried margin: 0; and also tried margin-top: 0; margin-bottom... and so on but it doeskin work, it tells me that it looks like at least one side is set to zero and the others need to be too.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

ID gallery {
  padding:0%;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
}

Nazar,

The issue is how you're trying to select the element with an ID of gallery. To target an ID in CSS, you use the pound sign (#). You're currently writing 'ID'. Additionally, remove the % sign from your padding declaration. Unfortunately, the challenges don't always give very helpful hints when there is an error, and that is the case here with it telling you there's a problem with margin property. You have written that correctly; it is the other two things I mentioned that are causing the task to fail.

You have:

ID gallery {
  padding:0%;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
}

You want:

#gallery {
  padding:0;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
}

Try that and see if you're able to progress. Make sure you root these basic selectors in your memory; you will use them constantly in your web development career!
