Please help. The code for the inner shadow isn't working and I can't figure out why.

.main-header { box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; }

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}

.title {
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
              inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">

Hey,

I don't know why it isn't working for you. I tried your code locally and its working in both Chrome and FF.

.main-header { box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
                         inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; }

I tried the challenge again and it worked this time. Same code but all on the same line. I guess the Code Challenge Workspace didn't like the code being on separate lines.
