CSS Foundations: Text Properties Code Challenge. Workspace error or me?

Hello,

I am on step 4 of 4 of the code challenge for Text Properties in the CSS Foundations course. I have been asked this:

Q: Remove the text decoration from the link

I have typed this:

a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
}

I am told that this is incorrect and to check my text decoration declaration. However I cannot see where I have gone wrong and when I preview the code the underline vanishes when I hover over the text. This also matches what is in the video

Is it me or a workspace error? Thanks

You are asked to "Remove the text decoration from the link", not to remove the text decoration from the hover state of the link.

Hi Simon,

You look to be doing this on the hover state. You'll need to remove the :hover to apply it to the link in general.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Looks like Gábor beat me to that one :)

Hi!

Check it without the hover pseudo.
