what am i doing wrong? it works in moz and opera but
IE 5 (nope, haven't got 6 on my machine - would
appreciate word from an IE 6 user) ignores my
instructions for link hover presentation for the main
contents (#main). here's the relevant bit from my
stylesheet:
a {text-decoration : none;}
a:link {color : #00f;}
a:visited {color : #900;}
a:hover {background : #fff;
text-decoration : underline overline;}
a:active {color : #900;}
a.name {
color : #000;
background: transparent;
text-decoration : none;
}
#main a {text-decoration : underline;}
#main a:link {color : #00f;}
#main a:visited {color : #900;}
#main a:hover {text-decoration : underline;}
#main a:active {color : #900;}
#main a.name {
color : #000;
background: transparent;
text-decoration : none;
}
testpage is here: http://www.cch-uk.org/test/
basically i want simple underlined links in the main
text without hover effect. but IE 5 shows the hover
effect from the other set of instructions.
btw, if i set it to 'none' it displays it correctly
#main a:hover {text-decoration : none;}
if IE 6 does it right, i might just ignore it. still,
there might be something fundamentally wrong with my
approach.
thanks
