CSS: a:link vs just a (without the :link part)
- by Rob
So we're required to use the following order for CSS anchor pseudo-classes
a:link { color: red }
a:visited { color: blue }
a:hover { color: yellow }
a:active { color: lime }
But my question is why bother with the a:link part? Rather, is there any advantage to the above (other than perhaps clarity) over:
a { color:red; } /* notice no :link part */
a:visited { color: blue; }
etc.,etc.
