a:visited doesn't work.

Here is the task (commented out) and then my code:

/* Create visited and hover styles for all links inside 'main' */

main a:visited { color: lightcoral; }

main a:hover { color: orange; text-decoration: none; }

In this order only the a:hover works. If I change the order (which is wrong to do I have learned) only the a:visited works. Would be happy for some help with this!

You have the order correct. Try reloading the page after you've visited the link. Also check the code just before this, an error in a previous rule might cause the next one to be skipped.

If that doesn't resolve it, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here so we can replicate the issue.

Thank you for your quick reply Steven. I have reloaded the page many times and tried to re-open the workspace, but it still does not work...?

Oh yes! It was an extra curly brace in the code above it - thank you!
