Finally, create a new rule that removes the underline from all unvisited links on the page.

I include a: link { text-decoration: none; }

to solve this challenge but not passing me through.

Please help!

The very first task was "Give the paragraph element on line 14 the class intro.", but that doesn't appear to be done in the code shown above.

As the challenge says, "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.". Removing any of the previous task code will cause the re-validations to fail.

@steven Parker thanks for your response.

I previously included the <p class"intro"> in the html file and declared the .intro{} css class but for some reason not known, this didn't appear on the code attached to my comment. See below what I did previously :

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Lake Tahoe</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <header id="top" class="main-header"> <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span> <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1> </header> <div class="primary-content t-border"> <p class="intro"> Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation. </p> <a href="#more">Find out more</a> </div> <footer class="main-footer"> <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p> <a href="#top">Back to top ยป</a> </footer> </body> </html>

If you restore the class to the paragraph, the code shown in the original question will pass the challenge.

I'm having a problem with this, it's not letting me pass on the last questions

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; }

.intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

a: link { text-decoration: none; }

what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
