Seems like I've tried everything to get this to pass... No go! Could someone please help?
Front-end Web Development Challenge task 4 of 4
We want to add an exception for <a> tags that are are in the <div> with a class of .footer: those links should be purple. Use the post-selector ampersand to achieve this.
Bummer! Please use the ampersand selector following the selector for the .footer div.
/* Write your SCSS code below. */ p { a { color: red; } > a { color: blue; &:hover { opacity: 0.5; .footer & { color: purple; } } } }

As Todd says, you need to be more specific (although that is not clear enough from the exercise instructions, you need to say
div.footerand not just.footer.You need to nest the post selector ampersand under the
atag, not as you currently have it. What you have is actually selecting the&:hoverinstead of thea.Hope that helps
