93602 - Implement Complete CSS2 Link and Dynamic Pseudo-Classes For Simple XLink Links in XML Documents

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96984

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Greg K.]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010802
BuildID:    2001080214

The CSS2 Link and Dynamic Pseudo-Classes should apply to simple XLinks in XML
documents. At present, ":visited" and ":hover" do not work.

The link pseudo-classes are ":link" and ":visited", and the dynamic
pseudo-classes are ":active", ":hover", and ":focus".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access the attached testcase
2. Observe that the link is green, as :link is defined
3. Hover over the link. Observe that it remains green, rather than adopting the
:hover color of purple.
4. Click the link; notice the maroon color, which is :focus overriding :active.
5. Follow the link, and return to the testcase. Notice that the link, though
visited, does not display in the :visited style, but rather the :link style.

Actual Results:  The ":visited" and ":hover" CSS2 Pseudo-Class styles are not
displayed.

Expected Results:  The ":visited" and ":hover" CSS2 Pseudo-Class styles should
be displayed.

Heikki, I set the milestone to moz1.1 but feel free to change it if you think 
that the bug should be fixed sooner.

Bulk moving from Moz1.1 to future-P1. I will pull from this list when scheduling
work post Mozilla1.0.

I think this is a duplicate of the bug that we restrict ":hover" to certain
elements, contrary to the CSS spec.  However, note that the selectors you
probably want are:

:link:active, :visited:active
:link:hover, :visited:hover
:link:focus, :visited:focus

since the dynamic pseudo-classes apply to all elements, not just links.

(The part about link pseudo-classes is a duplicate of bug 93598.)
