Div Color Problem

I have a div with a grey background color, but after I made the div a link to another page the background color disappeared. I tried with text-decoration: none but it is not working. what do yo think the problem may be ? Thanks for your time.

This is the div in the HTML file

'''<a href="de.html"> <div id="gra" class="sections"> 

                        <h2>Graphic Desings</h2>
                    </div>

</a>'''

On the CSS

''' a {

text-decoration: none;

} '''

It's better if you post the code your having a problem with then people can help you with your issue

There is nothing wrong with the code that is why I did not posted. I find my problem odd because it is not supposed to happen.

Also to add, are you trying to just make the h2 tags a link or the whole div that the h2 tags are in ?
