First, your selector is targeting any element with the class name of fieldset. You want to target the fieldset element itself.

Second, you have done the border property correctly. Setting it to 0 will remove the border.

Third, you forgot about this part of the instructions:

“… add 2rem of padding only to the top and bottom of each fieldset. Be sure to remove the padding from the left and right.”

ok, ill try that and im having some issues with padding, i want to say it would be something like “padding left-right: 2rem;” but i feel like that is wrong.

thanks so much i found the right answer for the padding

Ya, that’s not quite right. Here’s a tip. The best place to find out how to use HTML/CSS/JS are the MDN Web Docs. Just start your googling with “MDN” and then whatever you want to search for. Here’s the MDN page for CSS padding. It has a section on syntax that shows you all the ways you can set the padding.

You aren’t expected to remember all of this. It isn’t cheating to use MDN. In fact, most developers use it all the time.
