15979 - (CSS:) text-decoration: overline isn't shown

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

Description

[Joel D. Parker]

(Using Mozilla 5 M9 (M10 crashes on startup))
Using the following embedded CSS, a link with class="novisit" doesn't show the
overline on hover.

 A.novisit:link    { text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; }
 A.novisit:visited { text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; }
 A.novisit:active  { text-decoration: overline; font-weight: normal; }
 A.novisit:hover   { text-decoration: overline; font-weight: normal; color:
#000080; }
 A.novisit:hover   { text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal; color:
#000080; }

FYI, here's an example link that *should* change color, and become underlined
and overlined.
<a href="http://www.betanews.com/print.php3" class="novisit">BetaNews</a>

Hope this helps...

The 5th rule should override the 4th, so the text-decoration should be underline
on :hover.  The only time it should be overline is when the link matches :active
but *not* :hover, which is when you click the mouse over the link and then move
it off. This is exactly what happens.

Marking invalid.
