Links using a are a bit weird, Try using the psuedo selectors instead.
table#dataTbl thead th :link, table#dataTbl thead th :visited, table#dataTbl thead th :link:hover, table#dataTbl thead th :visited:hover table#dataTbl thead th :link:active, table#dataTbl thead th :visited:active, Both IE and FF will use them correctly and remember to keep them in the sequence noted. LoVeHA :link and :visited are only rendered on <a href's so they are a good substitute. The property "a" can be a bit more loose since it can be applied to either an href or a name anchor.

In my mind the second style block should apply to an anchor tag inside a th cell inside the #dataTbl table. But it does not without an !important declaration the browser (both IE and Firefox) instead apply the color form the first block. http://statisticsonline/collectionDetails.css a (line 30) { color: rgb(153, 0, 51); } table#dataTbl thead, table#dataTbl thead th a (line 127) { background-color: rgb(0, 0, 102); color: white; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; } -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
