IE6 CSS

[Bill Musgrave]

I have the following in a CSS, but it doesn't render as expected:

a:visited:hover
{
color:yellow;
}

Also, I know the order can matter so I've pasted the CSS section below.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Site users will have IE6, but
with differing levels of SP and patches.

Thanks
Bill


a:link
{
color: #0033cc;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #0033cc;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited:hover
{
color:yellow;
}
a:hover
{
color:gray;
}
a:active
{
color:red;
}

I have the following in a CSS, but it doesn't render as expected:

true... this will not render proberly. you have several errors in your css:

a:visited:hover
{
color:yellow;
}

is not valid. try:

a:visited, a:hover
{
color:yellow;
}

and then the order of your rules is important:

a:link { }
a:visited { }
a:hover { }
a:active { }

is not valid.

Except that it is, just not supported by IE and Mozilla.

But you still get points for trying to help! Thanks

I was excited at the possibilites when I recently learned about this, now
I'm disillusioned.

Thanks again.

Thanks, I knew this was too good to be true.

Maybe Microsoft will come out with a version 7 (even though they said they
wouldn't)...and it will be compliant...with CURRENT specs...

<sigh> Back to the drawing board.

your welcome.. it's one of those momens when I realise how good NGs are:
it made me read the specs again... and yes. It's actuallay allowed to
combine pseudo-classes in CSS2.1 as long as they are not mutually exclusive.

It seems to be supported by Mozilla.

It seems to be supported by Mozilla.

It doesn't work in my copy of Mozilla FireFox 0.9.2, but it does work in
my copy of Mozilla 1.5.

It doesn't work in my copy of Mozilla FireFox 0.9.2, but it does work in
my copy of Mozilla 1.5.

How about getting up to speed, and download Firefox 1.0, which has a
newer version of the Gecko engine?

FF 0.9.2 also has a newer version of Gecko than Mozilla 1.5, and look
what happened.

There seems to be no interest in the Mozilla camp to fix CSS bugs and/or
complete the support for CSS2, so I stopped submitting bugs and
upgrading Mozilla after numerous pointless downloads.
