Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu - Step 79

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:

For step 79 of the cafe menu project, it is requesting me to make the hyperlink black. Every resource and ChatGPT coding program says the following is correct:
footer a {
color: black;
}
However, whenever I submit it, it says it’s wrong and “You should use an a selector”. I have tried different variations with in every spot I can think of and nothing is working. I’ve been stuck on this for a couple days…

ChatGPT frequently lies, so don’t trust it too much.

This CSS rule uses a footer a selector, not an a selector.

Welcome to our community!

The only anchor element in your HTML code is that within the ‘footer’ element, but the CSS rule should be written to be valid for all anchor elements in your HTML code. So, you need to target the a element only.
