css: every visited link is the same style..

[nico-t]

im tweaking a style sheet for a site and now every single visited link returns to the same font style, whether its h2 links, arial links, etc. etc. once i visited the link they all go to about 12/14px verdana or something... what the fuck! This shit never happened to me before. I bet im missing something fucking simple... help a brotha out:

Maybe it's because you specified the font/size here:

.storycontent a, a:visited {
font: 10pt/120% 'Verdana';
letter-spacing: 0px;
color: Red;
text-decoration: none;
}

?

You also specified it in one other place but that was with Arial so it shouldn't be the problem.

[wdforty]

#toppartners a, a:visited

should be

#toppartners a, #toppartners a:visited

rinse and repeat for every other id/class

[wdforty]

when you have

#toppartners a, a:visited {}

you're basically saying, apply this style to links in the toppartners ID, and to every other visited link on the page.

which is why you need to repeat the ID after the comma.

ahh ok gonna try that

[nico-t]

[wdforty]
