Courses Plus Student 10,660 PointsMissed opportunity [Descendent Selectors]...
Around the 2:40 timestamp in the video when Guil begins to show how the descendent selectors work on the unordered list, he misses the opportunity to show how they work on links. For beginners (which I am not), the statements for the ul li {} selector might be confusing. Here's why: the links never changed color from blue to white with the following:
ul li { background-color: tomato; color: white; }
The correct descendent selector statements would change the color of the links to white are as follows:
ul li a { color: white; }
OR
a { color: white; }

Treehouse TeacherThanks for the suggestion, Altovise Curtis-Mateen. I'm releasing a new course soon entirely on intermediate to advanced selectors. I'll keep that in mind for the "Basic Selectors Review" portion of the course.
Also, in the Inheritance video, I briefly mention that links do not inherit colors from their parent elements.
