Topic: link color conflict

What am I doing wrong here...

a, a:visited {

	color : orange;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

.class a, a:visited {

	color : magenta;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

the style above is causing any link on the page to be magenta whether the class is applied or not, see (it may be correct at first but click and alink and refresh, then it behaves like I'd not expect)?

If I do like so:

a, a:visited {

	color : orange;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

.class a {

	color : magenta;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

.class a:visited {

	color : magenta;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

it works. So what am I doing wrong in the first example? Or is that just the way it is?

Aas always, links on the specific subject always appreiated. Thanks

You are telling it to make any visited link magenta -

a, a:visited {

	color : orange;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

.class a, a:visited {

	color : magenta;

	background-color : transparent;

	}

The second declaration should actually be:

.class a, .class a:visited {

}

gracias amigo =)

Magenta?

Have you been watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy again Jason?
