Link precedence in CSS2 class selectors
Had some problems with the precedence of an A tag class in my code. The link text keep coming up red instead of black as I had specified it should be in the dot-class in my style sheet, .MyClass. I tracked the problem down to the precedence for A.visited over <a href...class="MyClass">www.MyLink.com</a>.
Apparently the renderer gives more strength to A.visited, A.hoover etc. over just .MyClass for an <a href...class="MyClass">www.MyLink.com</a>. I don't know if it is inconsistent as MyClass is a user specified class especially put there. The thing that did the trick was to use A.MyClass which apparently wins over A.Visited for example.
