active link in IE 6 and Opera 7

Hello,
my stylesheet shows different colors for visited, active and hovered links.
It works fine in IE 6, but in Opera 7 the color for the active link (red
background) is never shown. How to explain this?
Here is my code: (code optimization will be done later)

1. The HTML file
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Navigati onsframe</title>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="css/sew1.css">
</head>
<body style="backgrou nd-color:#D4D0C8">
<div align="center"> <p class="menutitl e">Inhalt</p>
<div class="menu01">
<hr width="170px" >
<a class="menu01" href="main.html " target="main">S tartseite</a>
<hr width="170px" >
<a class="menu01" href="Archivsei te.html" target="main">: : Archive</a>
<hr width="170px" >
<a class="menu01" href="Meinungss eite.html" target="main">M einungsseite</a>
<hr width="170px" >
<a class="menu01" href="Fotoseite .html" target="main">F otoseite</a>
<hr width="170px" >
</div><!-- class menutitle -->
</div><!-- align left -->
</body>
</html>

2. The CSS file:

a.menu01:link{
display:block;
width:170px;
text-decoration:none ;
text-align:left;
font:14px arial;
padding:2px 2px 2px 0;
margin:2px 1px 1px 1px;
border:1px white;
border-top-style:none;
border-bottom-style:none;
border-left-style:none;
border-right-style:none;
color:white;
background:grey
}
a.menu01:visite d{
display:block;
width:170px;
text-decoration:none ;
text-align:left;
font:14px arial;
padding:2px 2px 2px 0;
margin:2px 1px 1px 1px;
border:1px white;
border-top-style:none;
border-bottom-style:none;
border-left-style:none;
border-right-style:none;
color:white;
background:blue
}
a.menu01:active {
display:block;
width:170px;
text-decoration:none ;
text-align:left;
font:14px arial;
padding:2px 2px 2px 0;
margin:2px 1px 1px 1px;
border:1px white;
border-top-style:none;
border-bottom-style:none;
border-left-style:none;
border-right-style:none;
color:white;
background:red
}
a.menu01:hover {
display:block;
width:170px;
text-decoration:none ;
text-align:left;
font:14px arial;
padding:2px 2px 2px 0;
margin:2px 1px 1px 1px;
border:1px white;
border-top-style:none;
border-bottom-style:none;
border-left-style:none;
border-right-style:none;
color:white;
background:gree n
}

thanks for helping

That's suprising. Is IE 6 broken in this regard, too?
in Opera 7 the color for the active link (red background) is never
shown. Here is my code: (code optimization will be done later)
In the future, a url is better.
The CSS file:

a.menu01:link{ a.menu01:visite d{ a.menu01:active { a.menu01:hover {


The anchor pseudo styles are in the wrong order. It must be link,
visited, hover, active. (This is answered in the faq. Next time, check
the faq before posting in ciwas, and you'll get a faster answer.)

Which of the words "In the future, a url is better." did you fail to
understand?

Changing the order _does_ affect the Opera behavior. What remains to be
seen is exactly how you tried (that is, the URL) and exactly what did you
expect "active link" to mean on Opera.

OK, I understood and did some corrections.
You can see it at:
http://www.seyso.de/test050504/index.html
The links are in the left frame.
The css file is located at
http://www.seyso.de/test050504/css/sew1.css

The problem is: IE 6 shows the background color for the active link (white)
permanently, when the link is activated.
Opera shows this color only for a microsecond when clicking on the link.
TIA

Yes, IE does get thing wrong. I thought you said the problem was with Opera?
Opera shows this color only for a microsecond when clicking on the link.


That is what browser are supposed to do:

The :active pseudo-class applies while an element is being activated by
the user. For example, between the times the user presses the mouse
button and releases it.

Why are you using frames anyway? http://dorward.me.uk/www/frames/

So, is there another method to show users in the navigation frame, where
they are?

If you get rid of the frames (which is a good idea anyway:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/html/fra...rame-problems), then you
could modify the navigation panel link for the current page to (a) disable
the link (see item #10 at http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20031110.html), and
(b) change the appearance so that it's clear where the user is.

Or you could use some other "you are here" mechanism, such as breadcrumb
links.

With frames, you're stuck updating two frames at once, so that you can
replace the navigation frame with one modified as above, at the same time
that you replace the content frame. See

Not necessarily so for those with off-line newsreaders, however.

(This is answered in the faq. Next time, check
the faq before posting in ciwas, and you'll get a faster answer.)

I've been reading the group for a little while, and that is the first
reference to a FAQ that I recall.

Is it posted here on a regular basis? Otherwise, how should one find
it?

Oh yes, even those, since the causes of problems are often not evident
from the mere content, but may be associated with HTTP headers,
redirections, CSS content-type, and all kinds of other matter which is
not evident if the plaintiff merely appends their actual data to a
news posting.

If the questioner actually -knew- what was relevant, they'd presumably
have solved their own problem already :-} The fact that they resorted
to posting here *should* mean that they exhausted other avenues of
investigation. As such, I'd say we need to see their problem in its
native habitat.

Those who choose to read the postings offline - and refuse to go
online to help with the investigations - would do better to stay
silent in such an enterprise, unless they have a *very* good hunch for
what was going wrong. IMHO and YMMV, natch...
