Pseudo-class selector problem.

I'm stuck passing task 2 of 3 of the Code Challenge in the Pseudo-class Selector section of the CSS Basics course I'm taking. The task says to create a pseudo-class selector that targets all visited links. Add a color property and set the value to steelblue. I entered the following syntax but keep getting a "Bummer" message that I did something wrong. What am I doing wrong?

a:visited { color: steelblue; }

Thank for any guidance with this.

These should get you passed all three questions. I believe your code problem was spacing between visited and {

a:link{
  color:orange;
}

a:visited{
  color:steelblue;
}

a:hover{
  color:tomato;
}

Thanks guys! I figured it out, they wanted the pseudo-class rule from the first task included in the second task response.

Phew.

You'll notice that all challenges contain this instruction: "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task." :wink:
