got it! the pages own css was messing with my external css page. In the end the html seem to associate the always/never underline feature of dreamweaver's internal css with the line-through of the external.

So to fix it in turns dreamweaver's css on to "underline always"- this basically means "text decoration ON". Then I put in any text decoration I wanted on my external css page!

Hope you can follow that mess.... THANKS everybody

the site is xyzcomputing.com/reviews.htm
the css xyzcomputing.com/newbiereview.css

Right now the Visited seems to work, as does active and hover but the line-through is not appearing.

Thanks!

There could be a conflict, or possibly a typo -- do you have an url?

I couldn't agree more,,, but it seems like the problem is fixed

Any idea why the line-through might not be working?

visited/active don't usually matter -- it's hover that HAS to be last. Sometimes explaining things simply means stating as fact things that with experience prove to be variable.

m3rajk, hey i tried what you wrote (and modified it a bit)

.BodyLink:visited ,a:visited {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #6699CC;
text-decoration:line-through;
}

-- this works and it is recognized as visited... BUT now the line-through is not working... any ideas?

suzanne: i've been using that to do colors and have visited and active switched and that has been working. just flipped it incase it's a mozilla quirk, but it begs the question, are you completley sure fo that?

i was thinking he either made typos retyping for us or.....

.BodyLink, a {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #6699CC;
}
.BodyLink:hover, a:hover {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}

Here is what i have now, i have tried to add:

.BodyLink:visited {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}

' should be

.BodyLink, a {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #6699CC;
}
.BodyLink:hover, a:hover {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}

Here is what i have now, i have tried to add:

.BodyLink:visited ,a:visited {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}

Order:

a
a:link
a:active
a:visited
a:hover

You can omit, but you cannot change the order or she won't work.
