Hello there, Order of class selectors does matter as far as the cascade is concerned. <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#dynamic-pseudo-classes <http://www.w3.org/CSS2/selector.html#dynamic-pseudo-classes>> [...] Note that the A:hover must be placed after the A:link and A:visited rules, since otherwise the cascading rules will hide the 'color' <colors.html#propdef-color> property of the A:hover rule. Similarly, because A:active is placed after A:hover, the active color (lime) will apply when the user both activates and hovers over the A element. [...] Following these rules, those pseudo-classes should have this order: a:link { color: red } a:visited { color: blue } a:hover { color: yellow } a:active { color: lime } Little reminder for that order is : LoVe HaTe HTH, Jérôme Coupé > Hello all- > > I have a pretty basic question, what is the proper/correct way to do a's, ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
