Try messing around with spaces. Hope that helps.

I also think that font-weight should be bold, not strong :)

Yes true I have try both and still I get same message :\ . So I have move on to the next code challenge. So miss out on me badge :( yet I just passed Pseudo classes challenge.

Still want me badge for Selectors

Is this the question? "Use a Child Selector to select the anchor element that is a direct child of the div. Set its color to green and the font weight to bold."

div > a { color: green; font-weight: bold; }

Snap Wrong hex yeah it green not red, lol now iam red :p

I was stuck on this for a few minutes until I picked up on the keyword 'anchor' I made the mistake of using 'paragraph' and was lost due to the error that was coming up. It was making reference to the selector itself which was confusing. But I am now the proud owner of the 'Selectors Badge' :)
