CSS a:link not working in browser

[worldly1]

Hello all,

I'm using Dreamweaver to build my site and every time I have tried to add the a:link pseudo class to a page, it affects the links in design view correctly (according to the style I've applied to the a:link) but it never shows up when I preview in Firefox or IE. This happens regardless of whether the a:link is in a document specific CSS file or external. My a:hover styles work fine. Seems like I'm missing something basic. I've looked at the code and it looks correct.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Scott

Is the code uploaded somewhere? This problem seems to require a peek at the actual code.

Try to check your code for errors using the DW tools, tool.

I discovered I simply needed an a:visited between my link and hover - twist and shout.

Thanks for the help

Ah, no problem.

I usually style using

a:link, a:active, a:visited {blah}
a:hover {blah}

Covers all your bases. Glad you figured it out!
