That has a couple of errors, Metatrox -- "Font-family" is not an element, and should be enclosed in curly braces as the declaration of an element, not on its own. Secondly, the HTML comment needs to be preceded by the JavaScript comment //.

Hey nothing wrong with being overly anal, my missus has often said I suffer from verbal diarrhoea

I'm getting help...

It's a curse, I know, but I was born with it and it'll take time to excise it from my personality!

Care to wager on that anal thing? LOL

Anyway, yes it should have the type="text/css". I guess it has been a long time since I have used that one since I use external stylesheets myself.

Not to be overly anal or anything, but the correct syntax for using a local stylesheet (CSS) is:

type="text/css">

This will make it work even in browsers that aren't so smart, and also those that are so smart that they require you to be accurate in your coding.

Keep in mind..

If the actual tags have style attributes, this will (should) take precedence over anything you've outlined in the style block.

Put it in the head between a style tag like so:

a { color: #000080; text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { color: #FF6600; text-decoration: underline;}

You have a couple of other tags to consider like

A:link
A:visited
A:active

Otherwise, you visited links will probably be magenta. My preference is for them to be the same color as the A link.

Thanks Webmistress,

I'm a HTML dummy. I design using Front Page. Where do I insert this HTML? I tried putting in the head but still the underline appears before the mouse over. I want to get rid of the underline in hyperlinks. Only when moused over do I want the underline to appear. Is this possible or do I have to make two separate images and use java script?
