[RESOLVED] problem with a:hover

mikawhat

i have the following css for my site

.main {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
padding-top:15px;
color:#000000;
}
.main a {
text-decoration:underline;
color:#000000;
}
.main a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
color:#000000;
}
.main a:visited {
text-decoration:underline;
color:#000000;
}

when i have a link like <a href=\"" . $SESSION['PHP_SELF'] . "\">Read more</a> the a:hover it's working, but when i add some parameters to the link like <a href=\"" . $SESSION['PHP_SELF'] . "?p=0&mcid=$mcid&cid=$cid\">Read more</a> is not working. what's the problem with that?

Well it really should'nt matter what you have inside href if its correctly done.
With your styles both of these links should work:

<div class="main"><a href="page.php">Read more</a></div>
<div class="main"><a href="page.php?p=0&mcid=12&cid=2">Read more</a></div>

Check the real output of your script, the error is most definately there..

i've checked on IE6 and Firefox and there's no problem, so it should be a problem with IE7.

Are you sure it's because of the URL (which it shouldn't be) and not because the one that "isn't working" has been visited? That's how I managed to stop the a:hover style from being applied.

Try swapping the a:hover and a:visited rules around. Seems to work for me. Stupid, I know, but I gave up holding my breath about Microsoft's CSS support long ago.
