Code challenge 4 of 4 CSS

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.

Why is this wrong?

nav links{ font-weight:800; padding:15px 10px; }

Michael,

The issue here is the element selector you're trying to target. Remember, link (or "anchor") elements have the tag "a", so your code should be:

nav a {
  /* properties go here, as you had them */
}
