3,251 PointsI'm need help finding exactly what I need to pass this challenge. Can someone take a look? I tried a variety of things.
It's the CSS Basic clearing floats challenge task 3 of 3
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
/* Clearfix ---------------------------------- */
.group:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.content-lodging {
float: right;
}
.content-traveling {
float: left;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

<h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
<p>
Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
<li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
<li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="content-traveling" >
<img src="mtn-landscape.jpg" alt="Mountain Landscape">
<h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
<p>
One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
<li>Pack sunscreen</li>
<li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
<li>Pack light</li>
</ol>
</div>
</div><!-- End .secondary-content -->
</div>
<footer class="main-footer">
<p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
<a href="#top">Back to top »</a>
</footer>

For this challenge, you may notice that there is a .group class in your CSS with the property "clear: both;" declared in it. The third task is asking you to add a particular class to a particular HTML element in the index.html file to make it so it is cleared and doesn't collapse due to all of its child elements being floated.
Let me know if this helps to point you in the right direction, or if you need further assistance.

3,251 PointsI think I may shifted it down on accident if it was there by default. I think I already tried adding a group class to that "secondary-content t-border" div but I will try again if that's what I'm supposed to do.
Erik McClintock
45,783 PointsYes, that is where you need to add it. I noticed in the HTML that you posted that you created another class attribute: DO NOT DO THIS! You simply need to add the class (separated from the others by a space) to the existing attribute of that element. Notice how right now it has two classes listed there: "secondary-content" and "t-border". Simply put a space after the "t-border" class, add your "group" class, and you'll be good to go!

3,251 PointsYes it's asking to add the appropriate class (group) to the div on line 9. On my html page there wasn't a div so I created one. Which div do I add the group class to and where do I end the div tag?

45,783 PointsBrett,
There is a div with the class .secondary-content in this HTML file, noted below with a comment (as you said, on line 9. You say your HTML file doesn't have this?)
