Just had a play around and it seemed to work fine (even though I couldn't see the menu1 link properly). One trick that I find helps me out of these sticky corners is to ensure I'm applying the class to the anchor tag and not it's parent, i.e.: Instead of: <td class="menu1"><a href="#">test</a></td> Try: <td><a href="#" class="menu1">test</a></td> Additionally I always specify my selector before the pseudo class: :link -> a:link though I didn't have any problems with your stylesheet in IE5.5

Damn, bit confused then. If you like, Stickymail me a url where I can get in and have a look at it all in it's full glory.

Thanks for the sticky kapow. The CSS is working as expected with every browser I can throw at it (IE5.5, NN6.1, Opera 5.12, NN4.7) - Unfortunately I haven't got IE5.0 installed so I can't really attack this problem for you :( Sorry. Perhaps someone using IE5 fancies the challenge? Have you tried validating the HTML/CSS to see what that throws up - this might lead you to the problem. Sorry again. (when will we be able to install multiple versions of IE do you reckon ;))

If you asign an id=menu1 to the block level tag of menu1 then in your style sheet. #menu1 A:hover{color:blue} #menu1 A:hover{visited:red} I think that will work.

It would be like a <div id="menu1"> or <p id="menu1">

Hi Kapow, If you take the html that your menu1 is in and wrap in a <div id="menu1"> tag you are telling the browser to treat it different. This goes in the <body> <div id="menu1"> Your menu html goes here </div> Then in your style sheet assign the rules to the id of menu1 like this #menu1 A:hover{color:blue} #menu1 A:hover{visited:red}

Sorry Kapow - I don't mean to be a whining mother figure, but in the example you give above you have no class attribute in the anchor tags.

it should read a.menu1:hover { etc} and so on

also try being more explicit with you standard link selectors in your CSS :link { color:#000099 } :visited { color:#000099 } :active { color:#000099 } :hover { color:#FF0000 } becomes A:link { color:#000099 } A:visited { color:#000099 } A:active { color:#000099 } A:hover { color:#FF0000 }

You need to have the... <p CLASS=menu1> read... I would rename your font style from .menu1 to maybe .menu1a The ID will control the rollover the class will change the font stuff <p id="menu1" class="menu1a"> Style sheet .. #menu1 A:hover{color:#FF0000} #menu1 A:visited{color:#FFFFFF}

:) :) DONE IT! :) :) Here is what finally worked: It seems to have something to do with defining the font stuff again in the Link, Hover and Visited bits. Like so: body { color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF; } strong { color: #000066 } h1 { font-size: 120%; color: #000099; margin-bottom: 0em;} h2 { font-size: 100%; color: #000099; margin-bottom: 0em;} h3 { font-size: 100%; color: #000099; margin-bottom: 0em;} p { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-top:0em;} body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } h1,h2 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } h3 { font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; } PRE, TT, CODE, KBD, SAMP { font-family: monospace } A:link { color:#000099 } A:visited { color:#000099 } A:active { color:#000099 } A:hover { color:#FF0000 } .menu1 {font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; color:#FFFFFF; } A.menu1:visited { color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none } A.menu1:link { color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none } A.menu1:hover { color:#FFFF00; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline }
