CSS text link hover - setting multiple link colour options

Um, I meant to do it that way I always thought that sixth digit was useless anyway. Kind of like a sixth finger.

it works, but good looking out!

fional24 and gilray4 are absolutely right, they are saying the same thing I keep saying in the other threads on this forum...

Use the cascade!

You shouldn't remove underlines from links. Period. Even if they're a different color. Often, color-blind people cannot see the difference in color, so they cannot see the link. You don't want to discriminate against the disabled, do you?

Neksus, you probably mean a:visited, not a.visited.

Since he wants it on hover of a visited link, he would want a:visited:hover.

haha, ya bad mistake on my part, as for his question i misinterpreted it, didnt see the hover on visited. as for the underline, if you use enough contrast between your links and content text the colour blind *should* be able to differentiate, unless of course you're using complete opposites (red/gree, blue/yellow)

What matters is contrast between their levels of brightness. There are color-blindness issues such as red-green, red-yellow, and blue-green, which are very common, and there are those which involve the lack of any color. The level of brightness is what primarily matters, and having contrast in level of brightness is risky when people are using monitors which behave differently -- on some monitors, #000000 and #555555 are barely discernable, while on others, #FFFFFF and #CCCCCC are barely discernable.

It is possible for there to be enough contrast for the completely color-blind, but that greatly limits the options for choice of color, and it does not make sense to have link colors so severely diminished in brightness relative to the rest of the text.

ya i hate how monitors display colour differently, and especially when displayed on lcd projectors as well! it makes some presentations hard to do!
