Ok, let me begin by saying that I am a programmer and not a designer. I know as little as I possibly can about design. I can't even draw stick people! Anyway, the issue is a simple one, I'm sure. I have a piece of CSS that I use and re-use all of the time that works perfectly for me. However, I am using it on a new page and it doesn't work! The CSS is simple...
<style>
a:link{text-decoration:none;}
a:visited{text-decoration:none;}
a:hover{text-decoration:none;}
a:active{text-decoration:none;}
</style>
I use it so that I can declare the font color of text links in the running html, rather than have them all default to that awful link blue. Now I have put it on a new page and lo and behold... the links are all link blue! And no, that's not the font color I declared in the <font> tag. I am using this exact code on other pages on the same site... same server, same browser.... I literally copied and pasted.... they are exactly the same and it works beautifully elsewhere. I'm really at a loss here. I can't imagine a problem w/ the CSS because, as I said, it has always worked for me. Does anyone know of anything that I could have done further down in the body of the document that might cause this to stop working? It really is driving me nuts.
