hi there, did you have a question?

3

yes, the color of the text link didn’t change after i styled it

4

This code targets this element
<input id="terms-and-conditions" type="checkbox" required name="terms-and-conditions" class="inline" />

It does not target the link.

5

You should pay attention to the guide. You aren’t targeting your a tag. I don’t see any id in your a tag

6

please how do i do that ?

7

if you reset the code (using the button that has an arrow on it)
and simply click the Check button without typing anything, the hint will tell you what type of selector to write

(it’s the a selector)

8

i wrote the a selector, it still won’t let me go through.

body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #1b1b32;
  color: #f5f6f7;
  font-family: Tahoma;
  font-size: 16px;
}

h1, p {
  margin: 1em auto;
  text-align: center;
}

form {
  width: 60vw;
  max-width: 500px;
  min-width: 300px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding-bottom: 2em;
}

fieldset {
  border: none;
  padding: 2rem 0;
  border-bottom: 3px solid #3b3b4f;
}

fieldset:last-of-type {
  border-bottom: none;
}

label {
  display: block;
  margin: 0.5rem 0;
}

input,
textarea,
select {
  margin: 10px 0 0 0;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 2em;
}

input, textarea {
  background-color: #0a0a23;
  border: 1px solid #0a0a23;
  color: #ffffff;
}

.inline {
  width: unset;
  margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
#terms-and-conditions {
text-color: #dfdfe2;
}
input[type="submit"] {
  display: block;
  width: 60%;
  margin: 1em auto;
  height: 2em;
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  background-color: #3b3b4f;
  border-color: white;
  min-width: 300px;
}

input[type="file"] {
  padding: 1px 2px;
}
a:link{
  color:#dfdfe2;
}

Blockquote

There is no such pseudo-class named link. An anchor element is a link. You do not need to add a pseudo-selector to it.

10

it still won’t work even when i removed the “link”

11

You will need to post your new code so we can see exactly what you have.

here’s it:

body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #1b1b32;
  color: #f5f6f7;
  font-family: Tahoma;
  font-size: 16px;
}

h1, p {
  margin: 1em auto;
  text-align: center;
}

form {
  width: 60vw;
  max-width: 500px;
  min-width: 300px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding-bottom: 2em;
}

fieldset {
  border: none;
  padding: 2rem 0;
  border-bottom: 3px solid #3b3b4f;
}

fieldset:last-of-type {
  border-bottom: none;
}

label {
  display: block;
  margin: 0.5rem 0;
}

input,
textarea,
select {
  margin: 10px 0 0 0;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 2em;
}

input, textarea {
  background-color: #0a0a23;
  border: 1px solid #0a0a23;
  color: #ffffff;
}

.inline {
  width: unset;
  margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
#terms-and-conditions {
text-color: #dfdfe2;
}
input[type="submit"] {
  display: block;
  width: 60%;
  margin: 1em auto;
  height: 2em;
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  background-color: #3b3b4f;
  border-color: white;
  min-width: 300px;
}

input[type="file"] {
  padding: 1px 2px;
}
a:{
  color:#dfdfe2;
}

That is not a valid anchor selector. I would go back and review how you learned to create anchor selectors in the Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu Project

14

i tried going back to my the completed of building a cafe menu project.
can you just tell me what to do please, it’s getting frustrating

15

The hint (and I) already told you exactly what to do.
Use an a selector

(Not an a: selector)

16

thanks much, i got it right finally
