Applied Visual Design | Tutorial Bug w/ Opacity

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I keep getting an error despite the answer largely being correct. The test response says "Your code should set the opacity property to 0.7 on the anchor tags by selecting the class of links"

But that’s exactly what the code does, so I’m not really sure of what else I’m supposed to do.

Your code so far


<style>
h4 {
  text-align: center;
  background-color: rgba(45, 45, 45, 0.1);
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 27px;
}
p {
  text-align: justify;
}
.links {
  text-align: left;
  color: black;
  opacity: .7;
}
#thumbnail {
  box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.19), 0 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);
}
.fullCard {
  width: 245px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
  margin: 10px 5px;
  padding: 4px;
}
.cardContent {
  padding: 10px;
}
.cardText {
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}
</style>
<div class="fullCard" id="thumbnail">
<div class="cardContent">
  <div class="cardText">
    <h4>Alphabet</h4>
    <hr>
    <p><em>Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were <u>Ph.D. students</u> at <strong>Stanford University</strong>.</em></p>
  </div>
  <div class="cardLinks">
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page" target="_blank" class="links">Larry Page</a><br><br>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin" target="_blank" class="links">Sergey Brin</a>
  </div>
</div>
</div>

“0.7”, not “.7”.

When I ran it in Firefox it works with “0.7” but not if I deleted the “0”. I assume that the test is looking at the entered text.

eta: Firefox, not Chrome

Ah. This is one that I don’t have strong opinions on either way. On one hand “0.7” and “.7” are functionally equivalent. On the other hand, a specific value was dictated by the instructions and matching a value exactly is something that campers are going to deal with fairly often.

:+1: Thanks for doing that.
