a:hover and a:visited (dreamweaver)

2003-07-28

how come when you add an a:hover and an a:visited style to a text link, once that link has been visited the hover style doesnt work anymore, is this normal or am i doing something wrong?

I think it has to do with order.. try ordering them in this order

A:link {
}
A:visited {
}
A:active {
}
A:hover {
}

Yeah, in order to work properly, CSS still requires to list the tags in a certain order. But even though I have read articles about new CSS interpreters implanted in the newest version of the most common internet-browsers, I would still suggest using this order ... !!
