Its IE on my Mac.
the hover part is reading fine for Netscape (mac)
will you see if it is functioning fine on windows IE for me?

the hover color is red

It doesn't work on Windows IE6 either which is odd, I can't see anything wrong with the CSS or the body tag that would be causing this either.

to add, the hover was working with the Mac/unix based IE browser prior to me adding the javascript above <style type="text/css">
I original moved that script below the <style></style>, the link colors worked again, but the script ceased functioning.
Don't know if this information helps anything or not :confused:

whats netscape picking up on... that IE is ignoring with css? What other areas could I look at that may help?
the forums are still not available to public...if you want to look deeper I certainly will give you access...anything to help you help me. I've been dealing with trying to figure this out for weeks now and was almost giving up when you graciously offered advice.:)

Try putting it under the CSS part again but use the following to start the Javascript:

May make a difference, may not, but it can't do any harm to try ;)

Okay. I did that, but no hover...BUT! the script now functions under the style! thats at least progress. Did I accidently delete something somewhere and now the hover is messed up for other reasons now maybe?
do I need ahover in the body tag too?...no because thats all in the css style stuff....shoot

If you find out anything down the road about rollover being ignored, please let me know.
I'm happy at least that the default link color is no longer a problem anymore! Thank you NTLDR :)
