I pasted your code directly into the challenge and it passed. Does it not work for you?

FYI: even though it did work, there should be a space before the word "class" in each anchor tag.

I tried the same thing and noticed it worked. I thought for sure that space would flag it, maybe i'm just used to spacing everything out. After reviewing his code i'm honestly not sure what it could be?

the newer standard does not allow no spacing between attributes, such as MS Edge, they must be seperated
