Help: Text Properties, Code Challenge Task 4/4

Having trouble with this question 'Remove the text decoration from the link'.

My code is

a:hover
{ text-decoration: none;

}

I thought that was correct from watching the adjacent tutorial video but it seems I'm missing something.

Any help would be great, thanks. Edit I did have the tags set up in the correct way, but just shows up like this, apart from that all code is the same. Cheers

You're so close. They want you to remove the links default style state, so you just need to put:

a {
    text-decoration:none; 
}

Haha okay, so I just figured out from that there obviously wouldn't be a hover property included, I was just noting what was used in the tutorial video and didn't read the question through properly.

Thanks Sam, you're a life saver!

@Michael -

For what it's worth, my advice would be don't follow the videos too closely. They are meant descriptive not prescriptive.

That can help you from getting tripped up by variable names and other stuff that differs between the videos and the code challenges, they aren't meant to match perfectly.
