Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu - Step 79

(This is the Question) The default color of a link that has not yet been clicked on is typically blue. The default color of a link that has already been visited from a page is typically purple.

To make the footer links the same color regardless if a link has been visited, use a type selector for the anchor element (a) and use the value black for the color property.

my code:-
footer a { color: black; }

system didn’t pass this code,

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <meta charset="utf-8" />

Hi! You don’t need set this value to footer link (you have this only one type of link), you have to change the styling directly of an anchor element (a)
