This is an inherent problem related to a tags as browsers have a built in style for links that overrides any style applied outside of the tag. I frequently have to go in and tweak a lot of code related to link tags when I forget this about Dreamweaver. The problem doesn't exist, for instance, when the software uses a span to apply a style around a p tag, unless a style has already been applied to the p tag. The it took me a while to develop an eye for seeing issues affected by the cascading aspect of CSS in situations lie this. It always comes up with a tags because of their default style. --Kenoli __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] Pseudo class links
Hi Folks,
I admit I'm no CSS wizard but I'm very perplexed why some very basic CSS to
style my links is not working:
http://www.douglasniven.com/books.php
I have the following embedded directly onto the page above:
style type=text/css!--
a:link {color: red} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color: blue} /* visited link */
a:hover {color: green} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color: yellow} /* selected link */
--/style
Yet no colored links! Very confused. Any help would be much appreciated!
Best, Doug

You have font tags inside your links overriding the css. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Your page is in pretty bad shape. You need a DOCTYPE and you need to
get rid of the proprietary Adobe tags. For your links, they should
work if you remove your font tags.

Re: [css-d] Pseudo class links
How about the fact that you're using font tags that are overriding the CSS calls? a title=Another Vietnam, from National Geographic Books href=http://short Link target=_blank font face=Arial color=#d8d8d8 size=2Another Vietnam/font/a You need to get rid of those font tags. ~Shelly __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
