Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 5,241 PointsWhy is it still wrong when I type the ampersand symbol?
When I type &-success { color: green; } there's a red line underneath and it's still wrong. Can anybody figure this out?
.banner {
padding: 1em;
background-color: lightgrey;
.button {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
.icn {
font-size: 1.25em;
}
&-success
color: green;
}

The .icn-success is meant to be a nested selector, so that Sass knows what to add "-succecss" to. Try writing your code so that it looks like mine below (you'll notice how I'm nesting -success inside the .icn rule).
.banner {
padding: 1em;
background-color: lightgrey;
.button {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
}
.icn {
font-size: 1.25em;
&-success {
color: green;
}
}
Also, based on the code presented, you never close your .banner rule. Make sure you have that second closing parenthesis after the .button rule.
