Customizing menu design in user.css works fine except for text-decoration

I am creating a new site with a child of Cassiopea. I have created a user.css which is working in most cases.

I want to change all links to:
a:link,
a:visited {
color: #FC0;text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover{
color: #FCC;text-decoration:underline;
}
a:active,
a:focus {
color:#FCO;text-decoration:none;weight:strong;}

This changes the links in articles, but not the menu.

I tried giving the menu a class, nav_custom and defining that in the user.css, but it doesn't change anything.

.nav_custom a{color: #FC0;text-decoration:none;}

Chrome inspect elements shows that class but it is still underlined

a general li code changes all ul's but my general a codes do not.

Since underline is the default format I can't tell which class to edit.

text-decoration

The Cassiopea menu does not use text-decoration, but ::after pseudo element is used for menu item underline. Therefore, your code does not work. To solve any problems with CSS, always provide a link to the site, but not FPA. FPA is useless for this.

Thanks.

The posting instructions said to use it. And the actual site isn't public yet.

[nagaho2]

Actually now that I added pages I see that my code is working for everything, except the name of the page I am on is underlined.

Hi. If you want to receive help on the forum, you need to make the site publicly available. At least for the time you get an answer. Otherwise, hire someone to solve your problems in confidentiality. This is a forum of volunteers and no one knows the code by heart to help you using only your description. URL required
