94498 - :hover-link doesnt work on sourceforge.net

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Maybe this is a dup of bug 52766 :

On soureforge.net the first link on the left side (login via ssl) doesnt get 
hover state when hovered. I wasnt able to create a testcase (page works when 
saved locally, so I guess theres some problem with either the images or the 
iframe on top of the page).

Here we go... :

<style type="text/css">
	.menus:visited { color: #00FF00; }
	A:hover { color:#FF0000; }
</style>
<A class="menus" href="http://sourceforge.net/account/login.php">Login</A>

The problem now is that .menus:visited overrides A:hover if the Page has been
visited.
Since class="menus" is more specific than <A> I'd not call this one a bug - 
Marking as invalid for now.

Btw: To create a testcase locally you can insert <BASE
HREF="http://sourceforge.net/account/">, then all relative links will work as
they should. (And only in that case the link has been visited)

Ok, too easy solution...

hover effect worked of course in ie because i'd never use it to login in 
sourceforge
