Re: ASP and CSS

Adam,

I believe it doesn't work because you override the style sheet with the
<FONT> attribute in the tag. Here's your tag broken apart:

<a href='catalog.asp?
expand=<%=Replace(RS.Fields("Category"),"","+")%>
&feat=<%=Replace(RS.Fields("Category")," ","+")%>'>
<fontface="Tahoma,Verdana,Arial" color="#387DC0" size="1">
<%=RS.Fields("Category")%>
</a>

For whatever reason you have a font code in there (rather than using
styles), the color code is preventing the A:hover from working properly.

I've never had much luck mixing CSS and HTML-3 coding together in a
document, so I do it either HTML4/CSS or HTML3.2, but not both. Since you're
using ASP, you can simply code a substitution script that will place
HTML4/CSS font codes if Condition A exists, or place HTML3.2 font codes if
Condition B exists (such as a non-HTML4 compliant browser).

Good Luck!
