In Internet explorer the  functions A:link, A:visted, A:active, A:hover, in
firefox they do not: this is the code in the <head>

<style type="text/css">
body {  text-decoration: none;
            color: "#000000";
            font-family: "verdana";
            font-size: 8pt;}
A:link {text-decoration: none ; color: "#FFFFFF"; font-size: 8pt;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: "#FFFFFF"; font-size: 8pt;}
A:active {text-decoration: none; color: "#FFFFFF"; font-size: 8pt;}
A:hover {text-decoration: none; color: red; font-size: 8pt;}
</style>

To make these style settings come into affect in firefox the "#FFFFFF" must be
changed to #FFFFFF (basically removing the double quotation marks). Under IE
this isn't neccessary


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create to different pages with the style settings i specified in details
2. Try with color: #FFFFFF with quotation marks


Actual Results:  
Ignores colour setting

Expected Results:  
set the colour to #FFFFFF
Mistake on reproducing steps, should be
1.Create html page with the style settings i specified in details
2. Try with color: #FFFFFF with quotation marks

also, works fine for body {}, but not for A:
Quotes are not part of a color. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1#color-units for
the definition.

I can't reproduce any differences as described between body and A:link for how
they handle quotes.
Its ignoring it since its invalid, see comment 2
