New problem re: text hyperlinks

[chotchstar]

Hi,
This post follows on form Gill1978's original post regarding specifying various properties for various different hyperlinks (changing colour on mouseover, etc.)

I have noticed that where the URL contained in the HREF exceeds 14 characters any CLASS attribute contained in the anchor is ignored. I initially thought I'd be able to get around this wierdness, but now its becoming a bit of a pain (particularly where I'm including external URLs.)

Here's a quick example of what I mean

This CLASS works:
<A HREF=&quot;lessthan14.htm&quot; CLASS=&quot;LinkClass1&quot;>Link 1</A>

This CLASS doesn't:
<A HREF=&quot;morethan14chars.htm&quot; CLASS=&quot;LinkClass1&quot;>Link 2</A>

If anyone has any thoughts regarding this I would be very interested and grateful to hear them. (Or if anyone could let me know if I'm doing something unbelievably dum...)

what browser are you trying this with? Works with Mozilla 1.0, Netscape 6 and IE6. Gary

Sorry Gary, I should have said, I'm trying it through IE5.5

Do you have service pack 2 installed?

Hello again sjravee, embarrassingly, I'm not sure whether I have Service Pack 2 installed on this machine, can I get back to you with that info?

Just make sure you are up to date with your IE55 service packs.
