Need help child selector question

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.

Please don't tell me to watch the video AGAIN. If I get the message "Recheck Work" again, I might just punch my monitor.

This is my code: Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

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

Oops! I just realized my problem.

I had my code in the script tag.

I should have had it in the style tag.

Try this:

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

If that doesn't work could you give a link to the code challenge.

Sorry I guess I'm having a bad day. Should have posted this in the CSS section.

This worked for me, (I don't know why but it looks exactly the same to me):

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

Hope that helps.
