ok the links at the top of my site
http://www.animelink.be/beta/index.php

are pretty cool

anyway when you hover, the text color should be black
but after you visit the link, it stays gray but it shows the underline

heres the code

#links a:link {
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #999FAD;
  background-color: #DDDDDD;
}

#links a:hover {
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000;
  background-color: #DDDDDD;
  border-bottom: 4px solid #000;
}

#links a:visited {
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #999FAD;
  background-color: #DDDDDD;
}

The code is right, but they need to come in the right order.

a:link
a:visited
a:hover:
a:active (if you were using this one)

Move your #links a:hover after the #links a:visited and it should work.

thx man!

Looks like it's working now. Glad I could help.

Just remember : LoVeHAte .. link, visited, hover, active
