Hello,

On my page I want the unvisted links (a:link) to be one colour (grey) and
not underlined.

When they are rolled over (a:hover) I want them to be another colour (white)
and underlined.

Links that have been clicked on (a:visited) I would like to be another
colour (black) and not underlined.

I can get this to happen until a link has been visited then the underline
and colour does not apply to it if its rolled over.

Is there any way to get around this and if so how?

I am doing the CSS in Dreamweaver but can use notepad.

Thanks - Joe

its sorted now

a:link {...}
a:hover {...}
a:visited {...}

To get the effect you want, you should specify

a:link {...}
a:visited {...}
a:hover {...}

You can do

a:visited:hover {}

but whether anything supports it is another question.

Where does a:active fit into the order?
