Advanced Sass Concepts (Stage 4) HELP Please

Underneath the previous code, store the value "morning" in a variable named "$time". Then write an if/else directive that will color all "a" tags. If the variable $time is equal to "morning," the color should be red. Else, if the variable is "afternoon", the color should be blue. Finally, if the variable is set to anything else, the color should be gray.

What am i doing wrong...(so confused)

Error: Bummer! The color should be set to Red.

$time: morning;
    a {
    @if $time == morning {
        color: red;
    }
    @else if $time == afternoon {
        color: blue;
    }
    @else {
        color: gray;
    }
  }

OK Jon Ive got it, the problem isn't with your last piece of code its with the code that precedes it. your missing some curly brackets in the mixin, not sure how it passed without them, here is what it should look like.

@mixin cars ($make, $color){ 
@include make { 
.#{$make} { border: 1px solid black; 
background-image: url("#{$color}.png") 
      } 
  }
}

$time: morning;
a {
  @if $time == morning {
    color: red;
  } @else if $time == afternoon {
    color: blue;
  } @else {
    color: grey;
  }
}

    background-image: url("#{$color}.png")

Sorry for the delay Jon, just having lunch.

Your code is 100% right, that I'm sure of.

I think this may be a glitch in the challenge, this isn't uncommon, I suggest you email support, fine them all the info you can including your code.

I'm going to try again soon, i'll get back to you.
