342 PointsI cannot move to the next challenge! Please help!
I am in the Code Challenge: Style the Basic Elements from the Web Design. It is asking me to remove the underlines from all the links on the page. I can see the HTML page in the Preview. But when I click the Editor button I dont see any HTML tags the window is just black. Therefore I cannot do what the challenge is asking me to do and I cannot move forward to the next challenge or video in my track. I already tried to log in and out, refresh my browser several times. But, nothing seems to help.
Any suggestions?

Edit: Not a bug. You just need to enter your styles for your a tag.
Eg:
a {
//do something
}

a {
text-decoration:none;
}

342 PointsChallenge task 1 of 3
They are asking to remove the underlines from all the links on the page. Then I have the black screen of the editor all in black with not code on it. But, if I change it to Preview I can see the website we are building on the lesson.

15,015 Pointsassuming i am misunderstanding the issue, you are saying that it is not giving you any editor correct? If the editor has no code but allows you to add code, then just add the code to the page that would solve the issue text-decoration: none;

21,326 PointsI think it is working fine. It is blank because in the challenge you are supposed to edit the css and not the html. That is why there is not html code. Type your css rule into the blank page and it should work correctly.
