I am using this CSS code

a.navigation {
color: #99cc66;
background-color: #ffffff;
font: 8pt 'Verdana', Arial, Sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #666666;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 0;
border-top-width: 0;
border-bottom-width: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 2px;
}

along with this html code

<a href="link.php" class="navigation">link</a>

It works fine in firefox, but in IE, the link follows the CSS for a:link. What's wrong with it??

use this css ...

a.navigation:link, a.navigation:visited {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #990000;
	font-size: 9px;
	text-decoration: none;
}

a.navigation:hover, a.navigation:active {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #000000;
	font-size: 9px;
	text-decoration: underline;
}

OK, thank you very much. I'll try that asap
