Hello there,

You're really close - you just need to change 

border: solid;

to 

border-style: solid;

and it should pass. The "border" property that you have up there can actually be used to put all three of these things in one line, like this:

border: 4px solid red;

This would solve the challenge also - it just doesn't work with only the style value in it.
