TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
CSS rules are applied based on both placement, and the specificity of the
declaration. Later declarations take precedence, unless another block
declares specific instances. Also, link pseudo classes have a "LoVe/HAte"
relationship (apologies to Jeffrey Zeldman). Links need to be declared in a
specific order: a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active. As your css block is
declared in the right order, perhaps there may be a different CSS rule that
sets a declaration for Visited.
You should open the htm output in Firefox and check Inspect element to see
what CSS rules are being applied. It's weird that the underline would
change and not the text colour. Maybe there is a wrapper element around the
text or link.
