In this stylesheet: http://www.asbpe.org/css/con08styles.css you set the colours/background colours for _all_ the a:visited, a:hover and a:active elements. The a:link elements are set in http://www.asbpe.org/asbpe_main_styles.css For example, this group of selectors: .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {} or this one h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 > a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {} Try http://gallery.theopalgroup.com/selectoracle/ to help understand/translate what those groups of selectors mean exactly As for those, that is completely overkill, and will select absolutely nothing: .Head2 a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head3 a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head4 a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head5 a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head6 a:link:visited:hover:active {} Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
