Floats and Clearfix, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not sure what else I'm doing wrong. I tried working <footer class= "clearfix" in HTML, but nothing worked.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */



.clearfix:: after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

.footer-nav: {
  float: left;
}
.logo: {
  float: right;
}

I think it might be a white space issue. Try removing the space between the : and after. Like this:

.clearfix::after {}

good luck!
