I just restyled the links on a site I've been working on, and am
encountering IE resistance as usual.  Here is a sample page that
contains two links within the content area:

http://www.kipke.com/issues.html
http://www.kipke.com/kipke.css

If you view this page in non-IE browsers, you should see a different
link hover style for visited and non-visited links.  Try visiting the
one at the top of the content area and not the one at the bottom for a
comparison.  Then hover over both.

In IE, however, the :visited:hover style overrides the regular
:link:hover one, and I do not seem to be able to work around it.  (For
the record, the dashed yellow line should change to a solid yellow one,
not red, when the link has not yet been visited.)  I did find that
swapping the order created the opposite problem (:link:hover overriding
:visited:hover), but it is a problem either way you look at it.

In addition, I welcome any input you may have regarding my link styling
methodology, which I read about and implemented based on this site:

http://dbaron.org/css/1999/09/links

It seems sound, but creates some redundancy in code, and does not seem
to allow for a fix to this bug I am experiencing.


Hopefully this all reads as English.  Thanks for your time, everyone,

Andy
