Also, on the con08styles.css, you have this declaration: .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active
{ color: #ffffff; background-color: #831c00; } Followed by this one: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 > a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active { color: #831c00; background-color: #ffffff; } For the first one, what would be affected is this: .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:link, And then, a:visited, a:hover, and a:active. In other words, if you want to apply those styles only the child links of an h5 which is a child of the class .sidebar-winner, you would need to add the first part to each one, like so: .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:link, .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:visited, .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:hover, .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:active {declarations here} For the second set of links, the styles would only apply to a:link that was a child of h6, and then to all a:visited, a:hover, a:active links. (And also to all h1 through h5 headings). You have inheritance issues being resolved differently by different browsers, it seems (I'm not seeing the inverse links, but I can see that for .sidebar-winner > h5 > a:link, that's how you have it coded.
