anchor psuedo's: Is There An 'Official' Order...?

[Rusty]

hi...

I've worked with ANCHOR psuedo-classes for a while, for link 'mouse-overs'.

So far the recipe I use is this order

A.LINK
A.VISITED
A.HOVER
A.ACTIVE

The "Hover" and "Active" elements seem to work fine on my PC. A friend who
has a new Mac Titanium says they don't work.

However, other link classes on the same page with a different psuedo-class
order work okay on his Mac. Go Figure.

A.LINK
A.ACTIVE
A.VISITED
A.HOVER

Can anyone comment on any "right way" or "wrong way" of doing this?

thanks,

Rusty

This was discussed this week here.
I think it was

Las
Vegas
Has
Animals

but it depends on the effect you want so other arrangements could work.

I hope you mean ':' and not '.'?

You can put them in any order depending on what effect you are trying to
create, but for the effect most people want to create: link, visited,
hover, active.
