setting text-decoration:none; for small section

I want no underline on my links in left column

[annej]

I'd like to remove the underline in the link in my left column and in a small navigating section at the bottom of the page. I've tried

.sidespace {
text-decoration:none;
}

in the style sheet

and

<div class="sidespace">

in the section I want no underline

Am I trying the impossible or just doing it wrong?

Try this:

.sidespace a {
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks so much! It worked great.

From this I assume I need to use the a whenever I am setting attributes for anchor text.

It's the specifity rules. The default for a overules the lesser specificity of .sidebar.
