CSS Basics- Floats- Clearfix- Question 3

Hello,

I'm not sure what I have done wrong. This seems straight forward enough...

In the preview, notice how the floats made the parent container's height collapse. In the HTML file, give the .secondary-content div the specified class for clearing floats

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.content-lodging{
  float: right;
}

.content-traveling{
  float: left;
}

/* Clearfix ---------------------------------- */

.group:after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
        <div class="secondary-content t-border" class="group"> 
      <div class="content-lodging">
        <img src="resort.jpg" alt="Resort">
        <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
          <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
          <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
        </ul>       
      </div>

      <div class="content-traveling">
        <img src="mtn-landscape.jpg" alt="Mountain Landscape">
        <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
        <p>
          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
          <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
          <li>Pack light</li>
        </ol>
      </div>
        </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
        </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Ohhhh so close! Take a look at your line:

<div class="secondary-content t-border" class="group">

You define class with 2 classes. Then you define it again! All our classes should come in a row inside the same set of quotation marks.

<div class="secondary-content t-border group">

Happy coding! :dizzy:

I think you should combine your class group with the others. So instead of : <div class="secondary-content t-border" class="group"> you should write <div class="secondary-content t-border group" >
