Color of link in browser is different

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi All,

Very strange & difficult to approach this problem.
Details:
The color of the link is orange (#FF7700) in Dreamweaver.
However,the color of those link remains the same as the color of ordinary text which is #666666.
I have tried both IE & firefox,result is the same.

Can someone advise what is the possible causes ?

Thanks in advance.
Tony

@Jo6891Aug 13.2009 — Do you have an example of your CSS code?

@whoAug 13.2009 — Is #666666 defined as the 'visited links' colour?

Another potential cause could be specificity. Sometimes Dreamweaver will render the links how you want them to appear, but a browser needs more specific css code.

For example:

#text a:link

might need to be more specific to work, such as:

#wrapper #text a:link

Parts of the CSS files:

a:link {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

color: #FF7700;

text-decoration: none;

font-weight:normal;

}

a:visited {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

color: #666666;

text-decoration: none;

font-weight: normal;

}

a:hover {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

text-decoration: none;

color: #333333;

font-weight: normal;

}

Please comment.

Thanks

You are right.

I cleared everything from the browser & reload the page,the links become orange again.

Thanks

I've made that mistake before... sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees ?
