hover over text issue.

[Orionsbelter]

.silvertext{
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color:#999;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-transform: capitalize;
}
.silvertext a:hover{
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color:white;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-transform: capitalize;
}
.silvertext a:visited{
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color:#999;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-transform: capitalize;
}

 

The issue is that when i hover over it should turn white however it doesn't it stays #666 if i take away the a:visited it does turn white when i hover over the text but has the default of purple which i do not want.

 

Help me please.

This should be in the CSS section, not the PHP Help section.

got it must do it in order.

if you want it to apply to only a then

 

a.silvertext:hover and same for visited

 

otherwise

 

.silvertext:hover and same for visited

 

then just apply it as a class to a tag.

Change your CSS to this:

 

.silvertext{
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color:#999;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-transform: capitalize;
}
.silvertext a:visited{
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color:#999;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-transform: capitalize;
}
.silvertext a:hover{
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color:white;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-transform: capitalize;
}

 

The pseudo-selectors  have to be in this order - :link, :visited , :hover, :active

An easy way to remember this is:

Link

o

Visited

e

Hover

Active

t

e

haku, i tested your method and in firefox it produces no results, using my method even based on the origional layout of hover before visited works correctly.

Did you clear your cache after doing that?

 

If that doesn't work, you probably have another selector somewhere that is stronger than the one you showed us.

nope i put it up as http://gaming-network.ath.cx/test.php i think.

 

EDIT: yep that is the link, just cleared the cache and produced same effects for both methods whereas yours did not work in firefox 3.5.5 mine did i thought that you have to put tags befre classes or ids otherwise it doesnt work anyway?
