Hyperlink problem in Mozilla

works fine in IE?

[JonnyWales]

Using this code in IE everthing appears as expected:-

a:link { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none}
a:visited { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none}
a:hover { color:#80B3FF; text-decoration:none}
a:active { color:#80B3FF; text-decoration:none}

When I try viewing it in Mozilla/Netscape (are they different browsers or in effect identical?) then I see hyperlinks in different colors which then change once they have been visited.

Is there anything wrong with the (very simple) syntax?

Thanks

Hi JonnyWales

When I try viewing it in Mozilla/Netscape....then I see hyperlinks in different colors which then change once they have been visited. Is there anything wrong with the (very simple) syntax?

testing on ie6 and moz 1.3 i dont see any diff. in the color or link behavior. Do you maybe have other rules in your css that maybe interfering?

are Mozilla/Netscape different browsers or in effect identical?

The short version is that they react (almost) identical in the newest version beacuse they are both using the Gecko-engine, the codebase or the algorithm of the browser. Check the versionnr in help/about in the browser an you will see Gecko ver. nr.

Maybe sombody could point to a more elaborate explanation of why this is so?

The only difference I cannot resolve between IE and Mozilla/Netscape is cell borders. I want to see black bordes around some cells and they appear fine in IE but not Mozilla/Netscape, where instead no border is shown at all.

Very puzzled?

Hi

Sounds puzzling - could you give us a code chunk were this is the case?

I assume we are talking table-cells?
