7,665 Pointsnav a - why won't this work?
I'm working through some of the basic challenge tasks for CSS and am coming unstuck with colouring nav anchors white. I've tried:
nav a { color: #fff }
nav a { color: #ffffff; }
and
nav a { color: #FFF }
but keep getting error messages, any ideas where I'm going wrong?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
p {
background: #000000;
}
nav a {
color: #FFF;
}

8,236 PointsHi nav a { color: #fff; } is the correct CSS for coloring nav anchors. At which task you are stuck in the challenge?

7,665 PointsThanks Muhammad, I think what confused me was that I got the error message on the next task (ie, after adding the nav a syntax) so thought the error must have been in the nav line, not the p one.

7,665 PointsOK, so in the end I had to copy and paste from a forum answer and the following worked:
p { color: #000000; }
nav a { color: #ffffff; }
It seems to be the 'background' on P that was being pushed back on, changing it to 'color' worked fine.
