CSS Link problems!

I am having difficulty getting the links on pages follow the same style sheet
properties consistently. In some areas, the visited links links stay red, where
others go grey (an early property of the style sheet).

And why is it on the Mac (where I am developing the site) the styles are
followed more closely than on the PC in IE 6.0?

Froget about IE6. That's completely different story. Microsoft just
doesnt want to follow the standards.
For your problem try defining visited and link behaviors as one like
this:

..bodyOnWhite a {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 16px;
color: #CC0000;
text-decoration: none;
}

and then define hover and active as you please, e.g:

..bodyOnWhite a:hover, a:active {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 16px;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}

This might help, however I havent checked other classes and selectors
yet that may influence behaviors on these links.

Pseudo-classes are uniformly supported. There would be no difference
between Macs and PCs. Which links are you speaking of?

Hi Murray,

Thank you for replying. There are many people in these forums whom I consider
prolific in CSS and DWMX, and you are certainly up there.

The links I am speaking of are the catagory, question numbers, back to top and
the links within the questions and answers themselves. They revert to grey when
visited. The links at the top of the page in the intro copy and under the photo
do not go to grey. They stay red after visiting, which is what my client wants
and I thought I fixed in the style sheet (../../../templates/epr.css). The grey
visited link was an attribute I set when I first created the style.

Did you have a chance to read my other submission regarding the broken up
image slices and image map situation?

Thanks!
