My nav a.selected class selector doesn't affect the preview of the site. HTML and CSS perfectly match.

In the preview it simply doesn't work, and I cannot see the "selected" state as soon as I open the page. Something might be wrong with the browser?

Can you post you code, a second pair of eyes might see something you don't. Look at the markdown cheat sheet below the comment box if you don't know how to do that.

You can also post a snapshot of your workspace.

The link I gave shows you how to put a snapshot link in your post.

Are you sure you took a snapshot of your current workspace? This one doesn't contain any files.

I tried to make another snapshot but it doesn't come up with files. I don't what it's going wrong, but I've also noticed that when I try to click "Launch Workspaces" Safari does not open it in a new tab but instead it opens a new windows like a "pop-up". Neither by clicking on "Open link in a new tab" works and instead open up a window without normal navigation bar in the browser.

What's wrong?

Were you able to get workspaces working again?

Thank you guys, now it seems working again. I haven't done anything just yet, but now the markup and the CSS seems matching and the "selected" state correctly display in the preview of the website! Thank you tho.
