Quick IE 6 CSS issue, A:visited working in FF, but not IE 6

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 11.2007

Here is the CSS :

a.cleanborders:visited {color:#000000; background-color:#000000;background:#000000;text-decoration:none;}

Here is the HTML :

<a href=”#” class=”cleanborders” onMouseDown=”return handleMPDown()”><img name=”jsbuttonp” src=”imagesprevarrow.gif”></a>

In firefox the border around the button comes up black, which is what I want. In IE 6 the border comes up purple after I have clicked on the image link.

How do I get the visited color to change in both ?

@dtm32236Dec 11.2007 — i don't get it... do you have a URL?

if you want a border to come up, why aren't you using

border:1px solid black; (or whatever px you want)

color:#000000 is for text color.

and your background:#000000;

is just overwriting the previous background-color:#00000; (so this one is unnecessary)

what are you trying to accomplish here? i'm confused.

@bullyellisauthorDec 11.2007 — I do not want a border. At all. But for some reason that that <A><img> link gets a purple border in IE 6. I am pretty sure it has to do with the visited link property because all the other links on the page are purple (one's I have been to).

I want the image link to not have a purple border.

border:none;

}

add that to your stylesheet

...do you know CSS? does that make sense to you?
