[thelist] FW: Style Sheet Problem

[sfmalo]

Daniel -

couple of thoughts (not sure if this will make a difference but maybe worth
a try).

1) Believe some NS browser versions hiccup at the "shorthand" layout of CSS.
Try the "longhand" version and see if that makes a difference. See my
example for BODY. I didn't copy the TD, P, etc. elements but they'd be
presented the same way.
2) I placed BODY first before the link info.
3) Maybe it's looking for the A:active info to be placed after the A:hover
... and can't find it 'cos it's not there.

BODY

  margin : 0px ;
  padding: 0px;
  border: 0px ;
  font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif ;
  font-size: small ;
  font-weight: 600 ;
  color: #6600CC ;
  background-color: #330099 ;
  background-image: url(background_purplegradient1.gif) ;
  background-repeat: repeat-x }
A:link { color: #6600cc; background: transparent; text-decoration:
underline }
A:visited { color: #ff00ff; background: transparent; text-decoration:
underline }
A:hover { color: #cc66ff; background: transparent; text-decoration: none }
A:active { color: #cc00ff; background: transparent; text-decoration:
underline }
