i was using the one css document for all pages (http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23716&highlight=email+forms) thing and for some reason my css for my links doesnt want to work.. its the only problem i have with using it. could anyone help me correct this problem?

Every part of your css works except for your links? Maybe you made an error in your css code for links.

Could you post the code you're using?

Perhaps it's the order... are you going link, visited, active, hover?

i don't think order matters in a style sheet....

order does matter. it's a problem that people here have encountered before, and changing the order to link, visited, active, hover fixes their problems.

hey guys thanks for commenting i fixed it on my own, i was putting like <style type="text/css"> and </style> after each set and now that i took those off they are working.

i thought i had it fixed, turns out i dont.. here's the code:

<style type="text/css">
A:link { color: B37387; text-decoration: none;}
A:visited { color: white; text-decoration: none;}
A:active { color: B37387; text-decoration: none;}
A:hover { color: white; text-decoration: none;};}<--problem

body, html, td, font, div, p {
background-color: DE9EB0;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 8pt;
color: black;
text-align: justify;
line-height: 8pt;}
-->
</style>



nevermind i see the problem... oihpqodpqpdpqduopq sorry.

that must be in a deprecated browser then. i thought it was just convention? when i was learning CSS and browsing in books and whatnot they always PUT the links like that but no one ever said "it must be in this order or else it won't work!" why does no one know about these things?

.. but nevermind, it doesn't matter
