text-shadow not working

I cannot get the text shadow to appear for h1. Here is the code:

h1 {
font-size: 5.625rem; /* 90px/16px */ color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1); text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0 .8); }

Can't seem to figure out the issue.

You just need a comma after that third zero in the rgba text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0, .8);
