Why a.selected is not enough?

<li><a href = "index.html" class = "selected">Portofilo</a></li>

a.selected{ color: black; } I tried to change the anchor which belongs to class of selected, but it did not work. I think that a.selected is enough to reach that anchor. Doesnt the "a.selected" mean that anchors that belongs to selected class?

You're correct; a.selected would be targeting a tag that looks like: <a class="selected" href="...">. Can you give any more details how it's not working? What exactly are you trying to do?
