705 PointsWhat am I missing on the add padding challenge?
I keep getting a "bummer" response saying I need to add padding to the class. What could I be missing?
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>List Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<a class="social-links"href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
<a class="social-links"href="#">Send me an Email!</a>
</body>
</html>
class.social-links{
padding:15px;
margin:10px;
}

8,359 PointsWhen you define CSS class attributes, don't put the word class, just start it with the period. The only exception to this is when you are adding attributes for a class on a specific element, in which case you would put the element name followed by a dot and the class name, like a.social-links, but that isn't necessary here. (Incidentally, that's why the earlier task passed, because the test rule was probably only looking for a dot followed by social-links and a set of curly braces, without caring what you had before the class name. In the last task, it wants to make sure that the attributes are being applied either to all elements with the class name (.social-links) or to the anchor tags with the class (a.social-links). Note that I did not test the last one, but it should work.
