@CharlesFeb 13.2003 — #[font=georgia]Except that the order should be link, visited, hover, active.Note that the A:hover must be placed after the A:link and A:visited rules, since otherwise the cascading rules will hide the 'color' property of the A:hover rule. Similarly, because A:active is placed after A:hover, the active color ... will apply when the user both activates and hovers over the A element.[/quote] See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#link-pseudo-classes.[/font]
i probably had it in the right order way-back-when (sometime after diapers) and i've been cutting and copying and pasting from my self-created style template ever since.
however, i didn't know that there was supposed to be an exact order, so i guess i better go clean up my mess.

Don't beat your self up on thatone. Incorrect orders on links is one of the most widespread errors in wannabe CSS guides, the most prominent of which is W3Cschools...
Just goes to show, never trust information not directly from the Spec, because all humans makes mistakes, but at least the specs have been read & reread and turned upside down and reda again by the most knowledgeble persons in the area and thus is likely to not have many errors (remember to check the spec erratas though ?)
