IE has a bug that if you don't list your link pseudoclasses in the right
order, it will default to the visited link when you expect to see either the
active or hover links.

In your css, make sure you list your pseudoclasses in this order:

link, visited, active, hover

I'm setting out on a first go with CSS, doing some things with a site that
I maintain, and it's coming out kinda weird.  The first step is a pretty
simple effect with the links:

	A:link {text-decoration: none;}
	A:hover {text-decoration: underline;}

What happens is that at least 50% of the links behave as you'd expect (no
underline by default, and underlined when the mouse cursor is over them)
but some of the others are underlined all the time and don't change.  The
first place this is noticeable is in the sidebar navigation menu.

I have link underlining turned off in the browser (IE 5.01) ... could that
be affecting it?  I haven't tested with Netscape yet.
