Problem with CSS link colour
Hi there, I am having a problem with external styles on my site. For some reason, all atributes of my default link properties work (hover, active, visited) and all other styles, however, the actual link colour does not.
When I cut the same properties from the external style sheet and put them as internal styles (for the default links only, all other styles stay as external), it all works.
The non working page is at http://www.webmasterslibrary.com (with all styles external) Links on left and top navigation bars should be cyan, not blue.
and a working page is at http://www.webmasterslibrary.com/articles/ (with default link properties as internal styles, everything else external)
As I said earlier, all other styles work except the actual link colour of the default link.
I am using SSI for the side and top navigation bars.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot!

Well when I run into problems like this I usually find a way to work around them. In your case I would make the css properties into a text file and use SSI to include them. That would probably work. I understand that you are using SSI to call the top or something, but I wonder if you can use SSI inside of a called file?
Also try to put your all on one line. This might help.

Try removing the tags from your external stylesheet.
You may have to place the external stylesheet in the actual directory with the page calling it, instead of just in the root directory.
You might also try ending each style declaration with a semi-colon, some browsers are picky about that.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know...

Thanks for your help everyone. Removing the and from the external file seems to have worked.
Seems very strange to me. All other styles worked except the default link colour.
Oh well, it works now. Thanks again!
