Using Chrome and Firefox browsers.

Other CSS code might be interfering with or overriding this rule. Please post the whole code (including HTML) or a link to where it can be seen (a workspace snapshot would be ideal).

As Steven said, could be a syntax error in your CSS like a missing semi colon (;) Have you inspected the widths via the developer tools in chrome for example? I remember this course, you are following a float layout for the two columns.

Well I Just closed and re-opened the workspace (no change to the code) and it worked.

It sounds like you may have forgotten one of the two necessary steps to see changes in a workspace:

  1. Save the changes using the editor menu or the control-S shortcut
  2. Refresh the browser to make the saved changes visible
