text decoration: none. Not working - html

Question

Hi so i am trying to make a nav menu that links to other pages when clicked. But when i tell it to link somewhere i get this ugly underline and blue text. I dont want that. I have tried "text-decoration: none;" and i have searched a bit about the topic. But it didnt help :/ Thank you for any suggestions!
Here is my html:
<div id="box">
<div id="items">
<div class="item">Item 1</div>
<div class="item">Item 2</div>
<div class="item">Item 3</div>
<div class="item">Contact</div>
<div class="item">Donate </div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="btn">
<div id="top"></div>
<div id="middle"></div>
<div id="bottom"></div>
</div>
And this is the CSS
#box {
position: fixed;
z-index: 4;
overflow: auto;
top: 0px;
left: -275px;
width: 275px;
opacity: 0;

}

Answer 1

You've already put your finger on it. The (default) underline is applied to the link, not #items. Those are the elements you will need to re-style:
#items .item a{
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}

Answer 2

add to a tag text-decoration
.items a{
text-decoration: none;
color:#000;
}
