I'm not sure why I am getting an error

Theodore Tasman

My code is as follows:

#header {
background: #252525 !important;
.toplinks {
background-color: #333333;
}
}

I get errors where I have the .toplinks part, saying they need to be separate, but in the website's css this is how it is written. How else can I do this?

Not likely. It's invalid syntax, so it wouldn't work for them either. Opening brackets before properties require closing brackets after properties:

#header {
background: #252525 !important;
}
.toplinks {
background-color: #333333;
}

Thanks. My issue was that I wasn't putting .toplinks under #header. I had it out of order. I dont really code in css so I didn't know that this mattered
