removing text decoration from a link

I tried:

a:hover { text-decoration: none; }

and also putting it inside of the paragraph. Each time it tells me to check the text-decoration. What am I missing?

You are removing text decoration from a link, when link is hovered. Remove the pseudo class hover.

Hi,

What Sherish Banu said .

it should look like 

p {
text-decoration:none;
}

if this is for a paragraph , it should remove all the links decoration in it . The color will be the same i think cant remember , so you put the color what you want so 

p {
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
}

but in hex code with is i think 999999 with the phone number at the start , cant show it on mac .

Hope this helps , tell me if it works, if not , ill find a way.

Thanks for your help. I guess what I was looking for was

a:link { text-decoration: none; }

if its for a link then yes, It depends what you mean by having a decoration a bit . and how its build.
