111774 - style sheets not working properly

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Evan Teran]

Mozilla 0.9.6

the page has the following style settings:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
    a:hover { text-decoration: underline }
    a:link { text-decoration: none }
    a:visited { text-decoration: none }
    a:visited:hover { text-decoration: underline }
-->
</style> 


but the links only get the underline decoration after they have been visited,
they should get the underline visited or not when the mouse hovers of it.

a:link overrides a:hover if it occurs before it.  (MSIE gets this wrong.)  See
