Mixins Issue

I keep getting an error when trying to submit this on the SASS code challenge. It says that there is an error and the background color is not correct.

@mixin button { background: { color: #369; } color: white; } }

a { @include button; }

Hi Jordan, in fact, your code was wrong from the first of 2 steps of the code challenge. You have an odd (and maybe too much) curly bracket in your mixin.

@mixin button {
    {background: #369   ;} // you don't need brackets here, but doesn't count much
  color: white  ;} // this one would close you mixin
} // this one is a spare closing curly bracket
a {
    @include button ;
}

What I would write

@mixin button {
    background: #369    ;
        color: white ;
} 
a {
    @include button ;
}

Jordan Saxe -

Remember brackets in Sass work just like brackets in CSS.

P.S. - Remember as Hampton Catlin taught us ... it's Sass is a word not an acronym. Because remember only you can prevent over-capitalization :wink:.
