Any help with this problem

I put the details correctly according to the training but I still getting failed code: Test title: styling webpage and navigation.

Question: Select the links inside the nav element and set their font weight to 800. Then, set padding on the top and bottom to 15 pixels. Set the padding on the left and right to 10 pixels.

Error message: Bummer! the top padding for nav links should be 15px My code is: nav { font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px; }.

Hmmm, the problem is that the links (the anchors) weren't selected. Just add an a selector after the nav selector.

nav a { 
   font-weight: 800; 
   padding: 15px 10px; /*This the shorthand for setting up the padding, the first number sets Top and Bottom, the second Left and Right*/
 }
