[solved] During the shadows coding challenge, what is the inset question looking for??

I'm in the shadows challenge with the question about an inset shadow.

This is what my css looks like:

.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}

.title {
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
              inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

I keep getting an error asking me to add the keyword for creating an inner-shadow. What am I missing?

You have to declare it all on one line, not two as you had in your code.

Not far off, this is the correct code:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}
