You can only specify styles for classes that exist! If you've got a <span
class="special"> and an <a href="#"> with no class, you can specify styles
for SPAN.special but you have no A.special, only A .

What you want to do is specify a style for when A is nested inside of
SPAN.special :

SPAN.special A {
/* styles go here */
}
