I have been trying to get a link to underline and change colour when

class orders. Also, I can't find a way of removing the bold when tabbed
over.

The only browser that fails on this is Opera 7.5. Opera has implemented it's own scheme for a:focus, using SystemColors to highlight the link that has focus (when using keyboard navigation). Fine with me, at least they try to do something. The only problem is: I can't control the systemcolors on a users machine, and my style sheet doesn't override the (default) settings in Opera in this. Assume a moment: my background colour is the same as the highlight colour on the users machine....
(at least Opera7.52 on my Mac doesn't react on my settings for a:focus; I tried with borders, colour, background,........).
