Problem with CSS

I'm working on this problem and can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Next, set the primary column's left offset to 0, and the secondary column's right offset to 0. Bummer! Make sure you're giving primary the correct left offset value. PreviewRecheck work index.html style.css

.col { position: absolute; } .primary-col { left: 0; } .secondary-col { right: 0; }

You're not supposed to include the -col after .primary and .secondary. This code passes the entire challenge:

.main-header{
  position: relative;
}
.main-logo, .main-nav{
  position: absolute;
}
.main-logo{
  top: 25px;
  left: 25px;
}
.main-nav{
  bottom: 30px;
  right: 25px;
}
.content-row{
  position: relative;
}
.col{
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
}
.primary{
  left: 0;
}
.secondary{
  right: 0;
}
