HTML link color problem solved

Problem: Some browsers show links in the default color in spite of being styled in CSS. On hover the CSS styling works.

Problem faced in: Google Chrome and IE6. No problem in FF

Solution:It is pretty simple by the way. There are two ways to resolve this ..

1. Dont use a:link ..

   ie. instead of

   #menu a:link { .. }

   use,

   #menu a {..}

2. And the other way is declare the colors for all the states of the link
   

   #menu a:link { …}
   #menu a:visited {..}
   #menu a:hover {.. }
   #menu a:active {…}

   Remember the order. Its very important .. (Mnemonic – LoVe HAte)
