Hello,

I am styling some anchors as follows:

a {color: #2E6194;}

a:link {color: #2E6194;}

a:visited {color: #285580;}

a:hover, a:active, a:focus {text-decoration: none;}

Is there a specific order to style the anchors?
And should I use the common a?

What is the correct way to style anchor tags?

Thanks,
Miguel

Setting color without setting background is bad. And you don't style tags.
You style elements.

Yes.

No.

Check out

It may look difficult, but correct styling of links (which is what you
really mean) is much more complex than people use to think.

Thank you Yucca.
The article was really useful.

Thanks,

Las Vegas Free Hotel Accommodations (link, visited, focus, hover, active).

You mean, should you write a:hover as opposed to just :hover? Yes.

We should have a CSI-based mnemonic for that. Is there a pseudo-
selector with G-Grissom or M-Morpheus?
