The text editor isn't working in 3rd question of CSS basics (:focus pseudo-class

When I click in the text editor to answer the 3rd question, nothing happens. I've exited out of the challenge, back into CSS basics, resumed the course, answered the first two questions correctly but again have the problem with the text editor

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
a:link {
  color: orange;
}

a:visited {
  color: steelblue;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header>
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
    </p>
    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
      <p>
        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.
      </p>
      <a href="#">See the Wildlife</a>
    <div>
    <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
    <p>
    Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
    </ul>
  </body>

Hi, Lori. I'm not sure why it's not working for you. I just did the challenge (on Chrome) and it worked fine for me. (Also, the last question isn't the :focus pseudo class, as a hint.) If it continues to not work for you, you might want to send a message to support.

I was working in Mozilla. Not sure what the issue was but it seems to have been resolved.

That's good to hear! :) They might have been doing some quick maintenance or something that affected your submission, or it could have just been your browser being uncooperative! ;)
