Courses Plus Student 1,209 PointsUnable to include hover state
Task 4 of the Code Challenge for Stage 5 of Front-end Web Development asks that we add a hover state to the nav link. I written the CSS as follows:
nav:hover { color: #32673f; } I believe this is the correct code, but I'm getting an error msg that asks if I've added the hover state.
Any suggestions?

The pseudo class should be applied to the anchor element after selecting the nav element.
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Dustin,
Not sure how this would pass. It's a
nav
element not an element with an id of "nav"Should be
nav a:hover

33,856 PointsThat's correct. Sometimes people implement the navigation using a div and label it nav but in this scenario it's actually the HTML5 element. Thanks for correcting that.
