I'm having some difficulty wrapping my head around the reasons why my a:link, a:hover and a:visited styles don't work predictably.

I design my sites on a Mac using Dreamweaver, but I always test using Windows browsers. On the Mac side of things, I find my rollover text to be very unpredictable. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I thought for awhile that the problem was isolated to links with custom classes attached, but experimentation shows this isn't always the case.

Things are a bit more predictable under Windows with MSIE 5.5, but I still have problems getting a hover color to show on a link that has been visited. Am I wrong here, or isn't the hover color supposed to show on a mouseover even if the link is visited?

I'm hoping someone here has some helpful tips up their sleeve as I haven't had much luck finding info searching the forum archives.

TIA,
