But "wrapper" is not a class, its the ID of the body element.
Since you don't need to specify the body explicitly anyway, that selector should probably just be "nav a".

I'm getting confused here. When i should use section , id , class and div. Could you clarify. Also , about padding, Margin and border in lay man.
It will be grateful if you could help me with this.

28,694 Pointsdid you put dots before the class CSS selectors? Or is that just display weirdness because you didn't use the markdown syntax to display your code here.
