Hi Andrew,
You have mixed up your classes and ids. You can have only one id per page
whereas you can use class as many times as needed.
You can accomplish what you need with contextual selectors.
For good references see: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/writing.html web
review section on selectors
For further explanation of selectors, visit:

I have provided a quick example for you to check at:
