I tried to follow the instructions after checking but not accepting? why?: You should use the existing li > a selector to set the text-decoration to none.
You should use either the nav > ul > li:hover or nav li:hover selector to style the elements on hover.
<!-- file: index.html -->
/* file: styles.css */
/* User Editable Region */
li > a {
color: inherit;
}
nav > ul > li:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
/* User Editable Region */

Hi @itiresenemiroglu
You should use the existing li > a selector to set the text-decoration to none.
Try adding the selector mentioned in the hint message.
Happy coding

can you please share all the code?
you need to add a new selector, the selector li > a is not sufficient for this step
the new selector for the hover effect is mentioned in the hints, do you see any hints?
Thank you for evaluating. Here is all the code.

can you please use your own words? I am not sure what you are trying to say by posting all the code again

no, you are not right, check what the instructions say
To make the navigation buttons look more like typical buttons, remove the underline from the anchor tags.
so we need to remove decorations always
this is also mentioned by the hint
You should use the existing li > a selector to set the text-decoration to none.
then there is the other part of the instrunctions
Then, create a new selector targeting the navigation list elements so that when the cursor hovers over them, the background color and text color are switched, and the cursor becomes a pointer.
and then we need to change colors when hovering
there are a few hints for this too
You should use either the nav > ul > li:hover or nav li:hover selector to style the elements on hover.li elements a background-color of #dfdfe2.li elements a color of #1b1b32.li elements a cursor of pointer.
Thank you so much for help
