Another web coding question...

[Steerpike]

I have the following text in my code:

<style type="text/css">
a:link {color: #000000} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color: gray; font-style: italic} /* visited link */
a:hover {color: #blue} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color: #00000}
</style>


The a:hover works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in IE 8. Anyone think of a reason why or know what I have to use for IE 8 to see it right?

Keep in mind I am NOT a programmer

Never mind, I'm an idiot. Problem solved.

In case anyone is interested, I had to remove the "#" from in front of the word "blue." The other browsers ignored it but IE is a stickler I guess. I hate crap like that because I'll stare at it forever and not see it. My brother ended up catching it.

Typos are a bitch ... aren't they. I just pounded through a few myself in Java.
