Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 15,569 PointsCode returning incorrect for Challenge Task 4 of 4, but works fine in my own editor. What am I doing wrong?
As the title states, the code keeps showing as incorrect on challenge task 4 of 4, but works fine in my own editor. It also doesn't preview as expected on Treehouse, but seems to work fine for Live Preview in Brackets. I have included to variations of the code, both of which work just fine on Brackets. What am I doing wrong?

You know what my favorite restaurant in San Francisco is? The answer is that there are so many great restaurants that I couldn't choose one. But honorable mentions include <a href="#">Mr. Chow's</a>, <a href="#">Live Sushi</a> and <a href="#">Piccino</a>.

Here are some of my favorite bands from years past and present: Belle and Sebastian, Pixies, and Daft Punk. Listening to music allows me to focus when I'm programming.

3,939 PointsDo you wana know what ! TreeHouse honestly just glitches out sometimes... Just try restart the workspace completely so that its back to its default stage and try adding you code again.
Should probably solve the issue

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Zachary,
The challenge is looking for a more specific selector.
Not just any element with a class of "footer" but a div with a class of "footer".
This isn't something that would necessarily be required on a real project which is why it works fine for you in brackets.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 15,569 PointsEnded up figuring it out. Kept trying to use div .footer. Turns out I had to use take out the space and use div.footer. Thanks for the responses.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYes, with the space, it's creating a descendant selector. That would select an element with a class of "footer" that's within a div.
Without the space, it's a div element with a class of "footer".
