I have a problem with hover links working with other public websites. To understand what I mean, go to http://www.geocities.com/prophet1990/who.html . Notice how the links (under "Cool Links") aren't visible. And yes, I have experimented with getting rid of the unordered list and changing the color # in the CSS code, and it still doesn't want to work.

I have found that if you get rid of the http:// in the link, the hover function works fine but then the link doesn't work and vice versa. Here's the CSS code I'm using if you need it:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
A:link {text-decoration:none; color:"#99CCFF"}
A:visited {text-decoration:none; color:"#99CCFF"}
A:hover {text-decoration:none; color:"#FBFFBF"}
A.foo:link {text-decoration:none; color:"#1755ce"}
A.foo:hover {text-decoration:none; color:"#FBFFBF"}

Is there a way I can fix this "hover link" problem? Plz help me in any way you can since this has been extremely frustrating! Your help will be greatly appreciated! Thx for your time!

In CSS, there is no need for Quotations. Remove the quotations from your CSS. I'm not sure if that's the problem or not, but you definately don't need that there.

What do you mean "not visible" ? I can see them on the page right now, and the hover is a pale yellow... maybe I'm missing something.

Ok, thx anywayz! I've found the problem. My code is fine and everything. See, when you go to one of the sites and then go back to mine, the link isn't visible until you hover on it.

I found that when I deleted all my "History" and then refreshed the page, the links were visible. So, nvm... It's just my computer/internet browser that's weird.

i dont think its your browsers problem. the A:visited color is the same as your background color. whenever you visit one of those sites, the A:visited properties apply to it, and if its the same color as your table background color it makes it look invisible. add a background color to the a:visited property or change the color, and your problem is solved
