Hi,
I've been experimenting with using :before & :hover:before
selectors with Mozilla, and found this little odd behaviour with the
following CSS:
a { text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }
#site-navigation a:before { content: '\25ba '; color: #888; }
#site-navigation a:hover:before { color: #f00; text-decoration:
none; }
Mozilla adds the css content, with the specified colour (#888) before
each hyperlink. It also changes the colour (#f00) of content when the
hyperlink is hovered. But I cannot seem to prevent it from being
underlined.
It appears that a:hover's underline is always being rendered, without
considering a:hover:before first.
What should be the affect?
