Hyperlink Rollover NOT Working

External Since: Sep 09, 2009 Posts: 1

I'm trying to set up my hyperlinks so that when the cursor is over the
hyperlink it turns another color. However, while the rollover effect works
with bolding and such it won't work with color. How do I correct this? Is
there someting I'd have to be doing in order to prevent the rollover effect
from working?

It is difficult to see what is going wrong without seeing the page and all
associated CSS.
Basically, CSS similar to:

a:link {color: blue;}
a:visited {color:purple;}
a:hover {color:red;font-weight:bold;}

will do as you describe - change to red, bold text on hover. But the order
of the pseudo elements is important.

IMO, changing the font to bold is not usually a good idea, since it can
cause the page layout to change while the link is hovered - the text in the
link takes up more space.
