IE6 link colors & CSS override (vs. Firefox) Woodmon 10-20-2005

Example of my CSS follows:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">

BODY { color: white }
A:link { color: 66CCFF; }
A:visited { color: CC66FF; }
A:active { color: CC66FF; }
A:hover { color: white; background-color: #0099cc; text-decoration:
#000000;}

.override a:link { color: CC66FF; }
.override a:visited { color: 66CCFF; }
.override a:active { color: 66CCFF; }
.override a:hover { color: blue; background-color: #0099cc;
text-decoration: #000000;}
</style>

HTML with image where IE does not apply the CSS link visited color:

<tr align="middle">
<td>
<a href="bigphoto.html" title="Example: photo1" alt="Example: photo1">
<img src="images/smallphoto.jpg" /></a>

</td>
</tr>

HTML showing override object:

<td class="override" align="center" bgcolor="006600">
<font size="1" color="white" face="helvetica, arial">
<b>
<a href="/contact.html">Contact Page</a>
</b>
</font>
</td>


Appreciate any suggestions.
Woody

Thanks for reminder. Got em mixed up.It's been awhile since I've posted to
nntp news. Was thinking cross-posting was bad. But now I understand why
cross-posting is desirable and multi-posting is not.

Still looking fo answers to my previous Q's. Researching news archives and
Googling the web. If I find anything will post solution(s) here to share
with others.

[...]

not checking, but could your problem be the omission of the hash sign
in front of the color code?

as in
color: #66ccff
