1,475 Pointsnav a.selected not working
Hello,
I can't seem to get the word "Portfolio" to be dark green at all times (or in other words, my nav a.selected doesn't seem to be working). Here's my html:
<body> <header> <a href="index.html" id="logo"> <h1>Riley Gault</h1> <h2>Software Engineer</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header>
And my CSS:
a{ color: #6ab47b } header{ background: #6ab47b; border-color:#599a68; }
h1, h2{ color: #fff; }
nav{ background: #599a68; }
nav a, nav a:visited{ color:#fff; }
nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color:#32673f; }
Thanks for the help!!
