Unable to remove CSS class a: hover background-color

Question

I've created a CSS class .press-title, however I've been unable to remove the backround color applied on hover.

.press-title a:hover { background-color: none; text-decoration: none;}

Ideas?

Your selector is invalid. Firefox throws this message: Expected identifier for pseudo-class or pseudo-element but found ' '. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.

It should be:

.press-title a:hover

Thanks. Changed, but still no joy. – Hern
