Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far

You ignored the “Tell us what’s happening” prompt. Do you have a question?

I am trying to pass this challenge .
I write the code
.links {
background: rgba (0,0,0,0.7);
}
but thats not right?
I dont know what its really asking me to do.

What do the failing tests say?

Your code should set the opacity property to 0.7 on the anchor tags by selecting the class of links.

Instead of using rgba on the background property, you should be setting the opacity property for this challenge.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

No need for two .links classes in css. Just add the opacity to existing one
