I want to add a hover effect to the ul li but the code seems not to work.

I think this is how it should be but the css seems not to work for some reason. Thanks anyways I also tried using the opacity tag but it still doesn't work. Edit: I have now edit the HTML Code. The problem is that the hover effect doen't appear. What I want is to make a hover effect for the ul li.

I think that you have to put the text inside the a tags
