Challenge Task 4 of 4 Add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color to the value #32673f.

Have I missed something?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2  {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  color: #000;
}
nav a.selected, nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

Hi Sharifah,

Looking at the challenge question, you may not need the 'a.selected' class - as it seems to request just a hover state of all the links:

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2  {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  color: #000;
}
nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}
          ```

the tests are very specific, so if you do some extra steps, you may get a wrong answer returned.

As Garrett says, there may be some extra steps required from the previous challenges, for example if you have the selector 'nav a.selected' in the code from a previous step, you may just have to separate the selectors into their own rules:

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2  {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  color: #000;
}

nav a.selected {
  /*from previous steps*/
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
} ```
