CSS CSS Foundations Text, Fonts, and Lists Text Properties

broken challenge?

I'm having some trouble with the "text properties" code challenge. The challenge asked me to "remove the text decoration from the link," so I entered the following in style.css:

a ( text-decoration: none; }

It then returned "Bummer! Check the text decoration declaration in your CSS." But I can't find anything wrong with the css that I entered.

Any suggestions?

You have the declaration after a starting with a ( instead of a {. That's probably where it's going wrong for you.

Are you sure you're using the correct brackets for opening and closing the CSS selector?

Yes, that seems to have solved the problem. Not sure how that silly error crept in - Thanks!
