links don't use styles in Safari

[famtek]

I am using the following code is a css page

A:link {color:"#d6d7b1"; text-decoration:"none";}
A:visited {color:"#d6d7b1"; text-decoration:"none";}
A:hover {color:"#ffffff"; text-decoration:"underline";}

This works fine in IE but does not work in Firefox or using Safari on a Mac.

Can someone please explain what's going on and how to utilize this effect.

thanks.

Yes, attribute values in CSS must not be surrounded with quotes. IE apparently does not care much, but others do. Remove the quotes and you'll be fine.

If you use the free validator service at W3C, then you can solve all kinds of these problems. This will then ensure your code works with ALL standards compliant browsers (Safari, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Netscape etc).
