14,255 PointsPassing color values?
I'm having trouble with the last part of this code challenge ..I'm stuck , I put it the color value inside the button rule. I tried the @include rule to but it did not work. Any suggestions?
$btn-background: #dc143c;
/* Write your SCSS code below. */
@mixin button{
font-size:1.25em;
background-color:$btn-background;
@content;
$colorvalue:#f0f8ff;
}
a{
font-size:1.25em;
background-color:$btn-background;
}

You just got a bit off track, but also I think the code checker passing Task 2 for you when it shouldn't have may be leading to some of you confusion.
Task 2 asks you to include the button mixin for the <a> tags, but you have the rules hard-coded instead of using @include, which the challenge should have given a "Bummer!" instead of passing (Tagging Guil Hernandez to have a look at Task #2).
So, then in Task 4, the instructions say to add the color rule to the "button include" for the <a> tags. Here you just want to do
color: #f0f8ff;
which would go after the @include. Instead, you are creating a variable to hold a color value. So, that needs to be changed, and the actual rule needs to be moved out of the mixin and into the <a> tag rules.
I hope this helps. :)
Keep Coding!
