238722 - active link class show default, not style specified

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mamae5]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

In an external style sheet, a:link & active link styles set for color/bold/no
underline; hover: color/bold/underline; visited: alternatecolor/bold/no
underline. When viewed in Firefox 0.7 the active link style shows as mostly
default: medium blue/normal weight/no underline. The visited style and hover
styles show as set in style sheet.  SEtting a pseudo-class does not change the
behavior.  These styles show correctly with In. Explorer. They are set in the
style sheet in the correct order (L-V-H-A).

Others have checked and see the same behavior.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Steps to reproduce described in details.

Expected Results:  
Show styles as specified in style sheet. 

There is no apparent workaround.
It doesn't affect browser behavior, but it does affect the appearance of the
webpage. The text "jumps" on mouseover from normal weight text to bolded text,
and the letters/lines on that line to the right of the link move noticeably.

You've reported this bug with a 6 month old build.  Bugs should be preferably
reported against builds less than 2 weeks old....

Pls reopen if you can reproduce in a current version.

Just installed latest Firefox/0.8, and the behavior is the same as before. Sorry
for the old report.

From http://www.towerwebdesign.com/tower.css:

body 	{
	background-image:  url(gridbg.gif) }
	background: #ffffff 
	}

You have a misplaced "}" on the second line, remove it and it should work OK.

No problem.

p.s. you should use the INVALID resolution if a bug turns out to be a non-bug,
FIXED is only for bugs where a change to the actual browser code is made.
