Tribute Page - Build a Tribute Page

Tell us what’s happening: I am having trouble centering the image in it’s parent. I have the margin set to 0 auto and the image appears centered in both the small preview and the preview page. Refer to the img link with the id=‘image’ and the #image selector in the CSS section. Thanks!

Challenge: Tribute Page - Build a Tribute Page

Link to the challenge:

Hey, I tried your code on my machine and it worked fine. The image was in the center and the HTML and CSS looked good.

But I noticed two minor mistakes in your code:

  • The opening <div> tag within the header element is not closed properly.

  • You nested a <ul> element inside another <ul> element, which is not valid HTML.

In HTML5, it is not valid to nest a <ul> element directly within another <ul> element. Instead, the nested <ul> should be a child of an <li> element within the parent <ul> .

Thank you, I fixed those issues. Do you have any idea why the system won’t pass my tribute page? The only thing it keeps saying I haven’t done is center the photo and the photo is centered. Very confused.

Realized the screen shot didn’t show the margin for my image selector.

I took a closer look and in fact the image is exceeding the boundaries of its parent container. To prevent this from happening, you should remove the width: 100% property and keep the max-width: 100% property. This will ensure that the image does not exceed its original size while still fitting within its parent container.
