HREF problem

[meridklt]

Well today is my first day with CSS and whilst I'm loath to ask the question, I have now been surfing the net for an eternity and can't find the answer.

If I use <a href="archive.htm">ARCHIVES</a> the text colour is as it should be, but this file is in the archives folder, so when I put <a href="archives/archive.htm">ARCHIVES</a> the text changes to a grey colour.

This is what I have in the css file:
a:link {color: #666699}
a {text-decoration:none}
a:hover {color:white}

If they're the same page with just different paths to them, I would assume it's just a browser problem. You could most likely avoid this by making your links full paths everywhere like this: /information/archive/archive.htm

No matter what directory you're currently in, it will go to that page.

[meridklt]

Not quite sure what you mean there:
I thought <a href="archives/archive.htm">ARCHIVES</a> was correct as the archives folder is off the main folder rather like C:\archives\archive.htm

Do you mean it should be <a href="/archives/archive.htm">ARCHIVES</a>

Order goes:

a:link
a:visited
a:hover

a:link { color: #666699; text-decoration:none; }

Don't forget a:active

[moojoo]

:active is IE's ass backwards :focus handler.. demit

[Ryan Fait]

Haha. Is the focus pseudo-class valid CSS? Not that the active property is that important in 99% of the cases.

[moojoo]

input:focus {} etc is completely valid but IE of course doesn't read it so from what I know :active is IE's handler for that sort of stuff. Ugh my head hurts.

I haven't heard that one before. But I also just learned SohCah Toa today. God I wish I've known that in high school.

Whats this input:focus {} that was talked about earlier? I've never came across focus!

[JacobHaug]

Thanks....I liked it!!

[Ryan Fait]

It's apparently the IE version of :active.
